Product details

With the Link GTX from Aku, you have a comfortable, minimalist, and precise multifunctional shoe that is a reliable companion on moderate trekking tours and in simpler terrains.

The innovative GORE-TEX More Seasons technology integrated into the shoe ensures excellent breathability. Sweat in the form of water vapor can escape, allowing you to enjoy a pleasant wearing experience in your shoes in any season and weather. The Link GTX lives up to its promise of keeping you dry, ensuring your feet stay comfortably dry everywhere.

Additionally, it features the AKU AIR 8000 system, which ensures that the upper material is up to 11.5 times more breathable than other GORE-TEX shoes. This allows you to make the most of your day, whether you take small steps or make big leaps.

The Vibram Pepe sole offers maximum safety and impresses with its high durability, guaranteeing excellent grip and stability on a variety of surfaces.

The Internal Midsole System (IMS2) is combined with a thicker midsole made of molded polyurethane, allowing you to maintain optimal sensitivity to the terrain while providing sufficient cushioning. The floating tongue is directly connected to the GORE-TEX insole to enhance comfort.

The Elica system not only improves comfort but also provides a unique feeling. This system includes the last of the multifunctional pin, the insole, the midsole, and the profile that adapts the shape of the footbed to the foot. This supports the natural inclination of the heel and forefoot and automatically minimizes impact and strain.

Whether over sticks and stones, puddles, or river crossings, the Link GTX feels most at home on the trails of this world. Your next adventure is already waiting for you!.
