La Sportiva Akyra GTX Shoes

Waterproof footwear with Gore-Tex® membrane, specially designed for winter running. Structured and protective, it was developed for ultra trails, ultra marathons, and long training sessions during the winter months. The Akyra GTX® is particularly enveloping, comfortable, and breathable. The upper, made of water-repellent and slip-resistant mesh, is very enveloping and structured with its three layers going from the inside out, while the seamless construction ensures comfort. The innovative MicroLite Skeleton™ applications dynamically follow the movements of the foot, and the structuring Flex-Guard™ applications minimize weight while providing a barrier against wear that can occur when running over roots and rocks. Extraordinary stability is ensured by the TrailCage System™ technology, which is located between the two upper layers. It provides structure and good foot embedding and is integrated into the lacing system. The sole, developed by the la Sportiva R&D department, features the new grippy shoe profile FriXion XT with Impact Brake System, boasts an exclusive design, and incorporates Trail Rocker technology that supports the natural foot strike of "heel outside – toe inside" while running. Cushioning, protection, and comfort are three aspects of a perfect geometry: the Origami, which inspired the overall design. With Akyra, winter running becomes an art.
