AKU Unisex Slope LTR GTX Boot, Dark Brown 46 EU

Hiking Boots AKU Slope LTR GTX dark brown full grain leather waterproof traction

Hiking Boots AKU Slope LTR GTX are men’s waterproof walking shoes built for trekking and mountaineering use on mixed terrain. The upper uses 1.6 mm full grain leather for abrasion resistance and structure, while the outsole is Vibram Erica Everest for grip on rock, wet ground, and uneven trails. A double density die cut EVA midsole provides cushioning for longer distances, supported by a Custom Fit footbed for stable everyday comfort. GORE-TEX Performance Comfort is the key waterproof-breathable technology: it blocks external water while allowing moisture vapor to escape during movement. This reduces internal dampness on sustained climbs and helps maintain comfort across variable weather. The membrane construction is designed for active use where ventilation and waterproof protection are both required.

Features

• ➤ Waterproof-breathable: GORE-TEX Performance Comfort lining helps keep water out while allowing moisture vapor to exit during hiking.
• ➤ Full grain leather: 1.6 mm upper material supports durability and shape retention for trekking and walking use.
• ➤ Vibram traction: Vibram Erica Everest outsole is built for grip and stability on rocky, wet, and uneven surfaces.
• ➤ Cushioning: double density die cut EVA midsole helps absorb impact on long approaches and hard-packed trails.
• ➤ Foot support: Custom Fit footbed is designed for stable contact and consistent comfort over distance.
• ➤ Weight: 550 g (½ pair) for a balanced build aimed at all-day trekking comfort.

Designed for trekking and mountaineering days with mixed conditions: rock slabs, wet forest paths, gravel tracks, and long approaches where waterproof gear and stable footwear matter. The leather-and-membrane construction fits variable weather use where surface water and ground moisture are common. Traction-focused outsole geometry supports controlled foot placement on uneven terrain, including short technical sections. Practical use case: alpine routes in the Italian Dolomites, where grip, waterproofing, and long-walk comfort are equally important.

Technical Specifications

Materials and Care

• ➤ Clean full grain leather with a soft brush and damp cloth; remove grit from seams and the outsole tread after each hike.
• ➤ Dry at room temperature away from direct heat to protect leather structure, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX lining.
• ➤ Use leather-compatible waterproofing treatments that are suitable for membrane footwear to maintain water beading and breathability.
• ➤ Store in a ventilated place; periodically inspect the outsole for embedded stones to preserve grip and even wear.
