AKU Superalp GTX

The Aku Superalp GTX W's is a women's hiking shoe that remains comfortable even on long hikes or when carrying heavy loads. The Italian shoe specialist AKU has developed the IMS3 Exoskeleton sole for this purpose. The lower part consists of an outer skeleton made of polyurethane, which is raised at the back to encase and protect the heel. This provides optimal support and stability while walking. The asymmetrical structure, with a wider inner section and a polyurethane elevation, offers support to the midfoot and prevents overloading and pronation. The upper part of the midsole features a lightweight polyurethane inner section that provides cushioning and high pressure resistance. The Vibram sole ensures perfect grip. The upper material is also noteworthy: the suede leather combined with the integrated Gore-Tex membrane ensures breathability and weather protection. A rubber rand protects against debris and impacts. The shoe is tailored to the anatomy of the female foot, with a more pronounced arch that prevents sliding forward. The heel is narrower, which helps prevent chafing and thus reduces the risk of blisters, and the same applies to the forefoot area. The cuffs at the top are flared to reduce tension on the calves. The Aku Superalp GTX W's is ideal for long-distance female hikers, multi-day trips, trekking, pilgrimages, and anyone traveling with a tent, gear, and supplies.
