A wrap-around and anatomical fit for footwear in the Trekking segment, designed to provide stability and encourage a dynamic action when walking on mountain trails over very rough terrain.
Apart from the production materials of the uppers, the construction of the shoe requires the application of special internal linings for the protection and comfort of the toe, the heel and, in particular, the midfoot : the lasting board.
Injection Lasting, AKU uses a special removable last for injected footwear during the complete production process
- when lacing, across assembly and right through to cooling and finishing
No other injected footwear manufacturer keeps the last inside the boot throughout this process, especially during the last two stages, the most critical ones.
During the cooling stage, after injection, the polyurethane sole memorizes its shape.
This is also the stage when the polyurethane naturally shrinks therefore if the last is removed the whole boot loses its shape.
The Exoskeleton technology is applied to the sole: the midsole is composed of an outer skeleton in light polyurethane, which goes up at the rear surrounding and protecting the heel so as to provide support and stability while walking.
The asymmetrical structure, with a wider inner part and a rise in polyurethane in the medial area offers support and provides pronation control.
The Gore-Tex Performance Comfort lining keeps feet dry and comfortable during outdoor activities
- Moderately insulated (knit) for changing conditions
- Optimal combination of breathability and insulation keep feet warm and dry, even in unexpected weather
- Durable waterproof protection
The Vibram Sendera sole is an exclusive outsoles designed together with Vibram®, for both the specific design and shape of the outsole, as well as for the composition of the rubber with which it is made.
The outsole is also designed with thought for the specific needs and the different end use of the footwear
- suitable resistance to abrasion
- shock-absorbing capacity especially in the heel area
- good level of cleating distinguished by correct cleat height
