Product details
Robust, versatile, and powerful mountain companions. Perfect partners for alpine terrain: the Akron Mid GTX from Garmont. These sturdy and comfortable hiking shoes, with their mid-height shaft made of suede and RPU inserts, are ideal for frequent and intense mountain tours. The lining is equipped with the innovative GTX Extended Comfort ePE membrane, which contains recycled components and is PFC-free. It offers reliable weather protection with high breathability and minimal weight. The Ortholite Ultra insole, made with partially recycled PU foam, provides maximum support and comfort underfoot. Performance and comfort down to the last detail. Among the consistently high-quality components, the integrated ankle gaiters stand out, preventing dirt from entering, and the Heel Lock System, which helps prevent heel slippage and blisters. Other special features of the Akron Mid hiking shoes include the anatomical tongue that adapts to the shape of the foot and the asymmetrical ankle cuff that ensures greater overall stability and more comfort when traversing and climbing. Key highlights: consistently high-quality and reliable materials, sophisticated construction for maximum performance, and a comfortable and thoughtfully coordinated design.
