Product details

The Rocket DFS GTX by AKU is a dynamic and reliable fast-hiking shoe that keeps you stable even on challenging terrain. Thanks to the Vibram traction lug technology, the shoe offers exceptional grip. Integrated into the shoe is the Elica system, which mimics the shape of the footbed, supports the natural inclination of the heel and forefoot, thereby reducing impact and strain for increased comfort. The upper material features a crossed rib structure protected by a 3D print layer. Inside, the GORE-TEX membrane ensures dry feet in any weather. For the perfect fit, the AKU Rocket DFS GTX has two different lacing systems that can be quickly and effectively adjusted.

Instead of one, the Aku has two overlapping laces: one for knotting and one for tightening. The second is intended to improve the fit on the forefoot, for example when climbing. Because the lacing doesn't reach far forwards, this only works to an average extent.
