Product details

The Link GTX by AKU is a waterproof approach shoe that offers both comfort and precision. Designed for adults, this shoe is ideal for hiking and outdoor activities. The combination of high-quality materials such as leather, textile, and a Gore-Tex membrane ensures that your feet stay dry even in wet conditions. With a lace-up closure, the shoe can be individually adjusted, providing additional support and stability. The polyester lining and EVA sole contribute to comfort, while the robust rubber outsole ensures excellent traction. The Link GTX is therefore the perfect choice for those who value functionality and comfort without sacrificing precision.

  • Waterproof thanks to Gore-Tex membrane
  • Excellent traction from rubber outsole
  • High wearing comfort due to EVA cushioning
  • Precise fit with lace-up closure.
