AKU Superalp GTX

The Aku Superalp GTX W's is a women's hiking shoe that remains comfortable even on particularly long hikes or when carrying a heavy backpack. For these demands, the Italian shoe specialist AKU has developed the IMS3-Exoskeleton sole. The lower part consists of an outer skeleton made of polyurethane, which is raised at the back to surround and protect the heel. This provides optimal support and stability while walking. The asymmetrical structure, with a wider inner section and a polyurethane elevation, supports the midfoot while preventing overloading and thus pronation. The upper part of the midsole offers shock absorption and high pressure resistance with its lightweight polyurethane inner section. The Vibram sole ensures perfect grip. Additionally, the upper part of the Superalp GTX W's is impressive as well – the suede leather, combined with the integrated Gore-Tex membrane, provides breathability and weather protection. A rubber rand protects against debris and impacts. The shoe is also tailored to the anatomy of the female foot, featuring a more pronounced arch to prevent 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. Furthermore, 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 provisions.
