THE EXCLUSIVE AKU WEARING COMFORT

FUNCTION OF USE OF THE PRODUCT

The AKU shape stands out for being able to perfectly trace the plantar anatomy, guaranteeing harmony and comfort of fit and at the same time favoring the natural movement of the foot during walking.

IMS

Internal Midsole System is an exclusive technology used by AKU in the construction of the assembly insole, which combines the traditional nylon support structure with a layer of microporous EVA, positioned inside the upper.

ELICA

Elica is an integrated system composed of FORM - ASSEMBLING INSOLE - MIDSOLE - OUTSOLE which follows the anatomical shape of the sole of the foot and follows the normal inclination of the heel and forefoot, reducing impact and effort.

DUAL FIT SYSTEM

The DFS lacing system is a technical innovation designed by AKU to customize the fit of the shoe. This system allows you to use the COMFORT WALKING lacing to obtain a welcoming and comfortable fit during the approach and to exploit the PRECISE CLIMBING lacing to wrap the forefoot and increase precision in the most delicate and demanding passages.

DYNAMIC FIT

DYNAMIC FIT is a technology designed by AKU that allows you to dynamically adapt the tension of the heel to your stride with better comfort and stability.

WATERPROOFNESS, BREATHABILITY AND THERMAL COMFORT AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS

AIR 8000

AIR 8000® is the first technology for the construction of the upper
developed and patented by AKU since 1991 to increase the breathability of a mountain shoe.

GORE-TEX

The GORE-TEX membrane contains approximately 1.4 billion microscopic pores per square centimeter. These pores are about 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water, but 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapor. Thus, while water droplets cannot penetrate the GORE-TEX membrane, water vapor, i.e. sweat in gaseous form, escapes easily.

PRIMALOFT

PRIMALOFT insulation products offer superior performance for high-quality technical footwear for use in cold climate environments. PRIMALOFT is warm as down, compressible, light and breathable and offers excellent water-repellency to keep your feet dry, warm and comfortable even in the most adverse weather conditions

STABLE AND SAFE ON ALL TERRAINS

AKU GRIP SEAL

TENUTA GRIP is the name that identifies a special compound developed by AKU. A compound and tread designed for mixed off-road and urban use, for excellent grip on smooth and damp surfaces.

VIBRAM

Vibram is synonymous with soles for mountain footwear, an essential component for the safety and technical performance of the product. Vibram's experience is condensed in the research and development of specific compounds for use on different terrains and environmental conditions; AKU's contribution is based instead on the design of the tread profile, conceived and designed according to the intended use of the product.
