The Aku Superalp GTX is a hiking shoe that remains comfortable even on long tours or with heavy luggage. The Italian shoe specialist AKU has developed the IMS3 Exoskeleton sole for this purpose. The lower part consists of an outer skeleton made of polyurethane, which rises at the back to encase and protect the heel. This provides optimal support and stability while walking. The asymmetrical structure, featuring a wider inner section and a polyurethane elevation, offers support to the midfoot and prevents overloading, thus reducing pronation. The upper part of the midsole provides shock absorption and high pressure resistance with its lightweight polyurethane inner section. The Vibram sole ensures perfect grip. The upper part of the Superalp GTX is also impressive: the suede leather, combined with the integrated Gore-Tex membrane, offers breathability and weather protection. A rubber rand protects against debris and impacts. The Aku Superalp GTX is ideal for long-distance hikers, multi-day tours, trekking, pilgrimages, and anyone traveling with a tent, gear, and provisions.
