Product details

With the Link GTX from Aku, you have a comfortable, minimalist, and precise multifunctional shoe that will be a loyal companion on medium-difficulty trekking tours and easier terrain.

The innovative GORE-TEX More Seasons technology integrated into the shoe ensures excellent breathability. Sweat in the form of water vapor can escape to the outside, so you feel comfortable in your shoes at any time of year and in any weather. The Link GTX keeps the promise to keep you dry, ensuring your feet stay pleasantly dry wherever you go.

Additionally, it is equipped with 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 get the most out of your day, whether you're taking small steps or huge leaps.

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

The Internal Midsole System (IMS2) is combined with a thicker midsole made of molded polyurethane, allowing you to retain optimum sensitivity for the terrain while still having sufficient shock absorption. The floating tongue is directly connected to the GORE-TEX insole for increased comfort.

The Elica system not only increases comfort but also ensures a unique feel. This system comprises the last of the multifunctional pin, the insole, the midsole, and the tread, molding the shape of the sole of the foot to suit the foot. This supports the normal inclination of the heel and forefoot and automatically minimizes impact and strain.

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