La Sportiva Akyra II GTX

Looks like a sneaker, but will impress you with its off-road capabilities: The Akyra II GTX Men is a convincing hybrid of hiking and trail running shoes, particularly distinguished by its snug fit and grip. La Sportiva equips this shoe with a textile upper and a GORE-TEX membrane. This construction allows for a relatively low weight and complete weather resistance. The special lacing system evenly distributes tension across the entire instep, providing you with pressure-free comfort. To protect your foot and the material from damage in rocky terrain, La Sportiva has incorporated a protective toe cap and a stabilizing chassis in the Akyra II GTX. The FriXion Red sole is made from a rubber blend that offers a good mix of grip and durability. Functional support is provided by the Impact Brake System, which aids braking force during descents, ensures maximum traction during ascents, and reduces impact stress upon landing with specially arranged lugs. In short: The Akyra II GTX is perfect for active backpacking trips - and it's also vegan due to the absence of leather and animal-based adhesives.
