Features:

• GORE-TEX® membrane within Footwear gives 100% protection against water and offers increased breathability
• AKU INFINITY AIR uppers use a construction technique consisting of a base layer of perforated microfibre – making it more than 30% lighter and more breathable than leather - and a non-run 3-D woven fabric that further enhances this performance. The two fabrics are then combined using a spot bonding process, guaranteeing breathability and lightweight performance
• AKU® IMS technology, refers to the mouldable surface within the footwear that takes a dynamic copy of the sole of the foot. This minimises movement within the shoe, resulting in reduced friction and abrasion. Steady and efficient movement through terrain can be sustained.
• AKU®'s Slow Memory Foam is a feature integrated into selected models that use IMS technology. Slow Memory Foam is found in three points of the footwear vital to comfort – the removable footbed, tongue and cuff (collar and ankle). This extremely lightweight and breathable material returns to its original shape after being compressed and therefore improves the overall level of comfort for the wearer as it adapts and keeps its shape longer.

• 7 eyelet/hook lacing system for fit and comfort adjustment
• Bellows tongue attached at seventh eyelet (from bottom) for comfortable fit
• High ankle collar for maximum ankle support
• Removable footbed for airing and replacement
