Product details

The AKU Rocket DFS Mid GTX is a dynamic and reliable fast-hiking shoe that keeps you stable even on challenging terrains. 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, and providing greater comfort. The upper material features a crossed rib structure protected by a 3D print layer. Inside, the GORE-TEX membrane ensures optimal comfort and long-lasting waterproof protection when you need it most. These GORE-TEX Performance Comfort shoes are designed for outdoor use in changing conditions. The highly breathable shoes with medium insulation provide year-round climate comfort you can rely on. For the perfect fit, the AKU Rocket DFS GTX features two different lacing systems that can be quickly and effectively adjusted.
