What are the Ultra Light Original GTXs?
They're lightweight, timeless and classically style hiking boots that are styled on the Aku original Slope boots that were launched 40 years ago. Made from high-quality materials that are 100% traceable, they offer comfort and waterproof protection for hiking, trekking, hill walking and other leisurely outdoor activities in varied conditions.
What are they made from?
Upper: The upper is constructed from a 1.4mm suede leather that is complemented by Air 8000 and Microfiber. The suede and microfiber offer excellent levels of durability, whilst the Air 8000 keeps the breathability levels high.
Lining: The Ultra Light Original GTX's are lined with a waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort membrane. It provides maximum comfort in various climates, keeping your feet dry in wet weather while still allowing moisture vapour to escape when you're working hard.
Midsole: The midsole is constructed from double-density PU which is hard enough to contribute to the support of the boots, yet soft enough to help absorb the impact of hiking long, rugged trails.
Outsole: For traction, The Ultra Light Original GTX's use a Vibram Erica Everest outsole, which is a durable and aggressive outsole that is exclusive to Aku. It features a striking lug pattern designed to deliver maximum traction and contact with the ground.
How do they fit?
The Ultra Light Original GTXs use Aku's Women's Fit Last, which is specifically developed for the female foot anatomy, that prioritises comfort and stability when walking on mountain trails with uneven ground.
