IMS: Internal Midsole System 1 Precise
An exclusive technology, used in the construction of the AKU insole board
It couples the traditional support structure in nylon with a layer of microporous EVA
This system, which allows for the sole to perfectly capture the anatomy of the foot, ensures a uniform distribution of pressure
This prevents from lateral and frontal slipping under heavy use, and provides shock absorption for an excellent wearing comfort
In this way, thanks to the low profile of the midsole, it provides maximum sensitivity, precision and reliability to ensure a correct and instant reaction to uneven terrains
IMS1 PRECISE
The version IMS1 combines the Internal Midsole System with an external midsole in a thin microporous EVA.
In this way, thanks to the low profile of the midsole, it provides maximum sensitivity, precision and reliability to ensure a correct and instant reaction to uneven terrains.
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.
Laboratory tests carried out by Gore Tex confirm that the upper made with the exclusive AKU AIR 8000® system offers a level of breathability up to 11.5 times higher than normal standards.
Years later, the AKU AIR 8000® system remains one of the most advanced technologies to ensure excellent breathability of the mountain shoe.
