At 1300 grams, the heaviest pair tested this time comes from Garmont. Like its competitors from Aku and Mammut, it should be worn in, as it softens after a few hours, although it remains a robust companion. It is overqualified for low mountain ranges, but just right for alpine trails...

Product details
The Akron Mid GTX from Garmont is a versatile hiking shoe with a mid-high shaft that provides reliable support and comfort during demanding day hikes, light mountain treks, and via ferrata routes. The upper is made from durable suede leather, complemented by protective RPU reinforcements. Inside, the PFC-free GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort membrane offers breathable moisture protection – ideal for dynamic tours in changeable weather. The Ortholite® Ultra™ insole provides long-lasting cushioning comfort, while a semi-rigid polypropylene insert in the sole construction adds necessary stability. The EVA midsole enhances shock absorption. Particularly impressive is the grippy MICHELIN® Off Road outsole with OCX3 and OC1 rubber compounds, which, thanks to its Fiberlite technology, delivers excellent grip on rock, roots, and wet surfaces. With Heel Lock™, LaceLock, and the ergonomic a.d.d.® system, the Akron Mid GTX adapts perfectly to your foot, preventing pressure points and blisters – ensuring a secure and comfortable walking experience.

- Good stability
