- Snow grip & ground feel
- Less grip on paths
The ice and alpine touring boot with top fit and additional forefoot traction has a grippy sole with top front kick and super snow repellence in the snow. The shaft is very flexible. Precise on rock, but less grippy at the front

Developed for alpine tours, the Aku Viaz DFS shines with maximum climbing performance and amazingly high wearing comfort. Thanks to the ultra-stiff but sensitive sole and snug-fitting shaft, you can climb the trickiest walls with dancing grace. The forefoot, which can be laced separately with a quick-release fastener, is also very impressive. Price: 350 euros.
