Product details
The Rock DFS II GTX by Aku is a technical approach shoe that is well-suited for versatile outdoor activities such as via ferratas, mountain hikes, and light climbing. Thanks to the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, it provides reliable protection against moisture, while the breathable design ensures a comfortable foot climate.
The upper material is made of durable suede, textile, and abrasion-resistant microfiber, equipped with a robust rubber protection that safeguards the shoe from rapid wear. The asymmetrical midsole made of EVA and PU is based on the AKU Elica Natural Stride System, which supports the natural rolling motion and promotes biodynamic efficiency.
With the Dual Fit System, the shoe offers a customizable fit: a traditional lacing system ensures maximum comfort during approaches, while the precise quick-lacing provides optimal support and sensitivity when climbing. The Vibram sole, designed specifically for climbing, ensures optimal grip and slip resistance.
The Rock DFS II GTX combines stability, protection, and adaptability in a lightweight, technically advanced design. A reliable multifunctional shoe for demanding tours and adventures in the mountains.
