Product details
The Link GTX W's by Aku for women is an extremely comfortable and precise multifunctional shoe, ideal for moderate trekking tours and light terrain. With its minimalist design, it offers a perfect combination of style and functionality. Thanks to the GORE-TEX More Seasons technology, you can enjoy a pleasant foot climate in any season and weather, as moisture is effectively managed.
The highlight of the shoe is the AKU AIR 8000 system in the upper material, which provides up to 11.5 times higher breathability than conventional GORE-TEX shoes. This keeps you comfortably cool and dry even during demanding activities.
Stability and durability are ensured by the robust Vibram Pepe sole, which guarantees excellent grip on various surfaces. The Internal Midsole System (IMS2), combined with a thicker polyurethane midsole, allows for optimal ground feel and excellent shock absorption.
Comfort is enhanced by the innovative Elica System, which mimics the natural shape of the foot, supports the inclination of the heel and forefoot, and thus reduces impact and strain.
Weighing only 820 grams per pair, the Link GTX W's by Aku is a lightweight among hiking shoes. Its floating tongue and GORE-TEX insole further increase comfort.
This shoe is an ideal partner for anyone who enjoys light trails and moderate trekking while valuing a combination of comfort, precision, and sustainability. Every step is an adventure – with the Link GTX W's by Aku, you are ready to explore the world.
