Hiking shoes improve the hiking experience, making it safer and more comfortable. Specifically, they are suitable for daily use, for medium difficulty routes and with light loads.

Suitable for less complex natural terrain, such as dirt or wooded paths. They offer good protection against irregularities in the ground, such as roots and small stones, thanks to resistant and non-slip soles. Ideal for mountain walks or trekking on easily passable paths, these shoes are designed for outdoor activities that do not require specific equipment for extreme terrain.

When choosing your hiking shoes make sure they have the following features:

Comfort and Fit : Materials must be breathable and shock-absorbing to ensure a comfortable fit during long walks.

Resistance : the quality of materials, such as leather and synthetic fibres, must ensure durability and resistance to wear.

Traction and Stability : High-grip rubber outsoles provide excellent traction on wet and slippery surfaces, while the tread design ensures stability.

Waterproof : Many models feature waterproof technologies like GTX to keep your feet dry even in the most adverse conditions.

Ankle Support : Some models offer extra ankle support, ideal for rough terrain.

In all AKU product sheets you can also find an information section on the traceability of each individual material used to produce the footwear.

To choose footwear for walking in the mountains at medium altitudes you can consult the men's hiking and women's hiking collections. Our icon AKU Slope is a versatile shoe for any type of use, suitable for non-difficult routes and with light loads. It includes different versions for different needs.
