They’ve been a classic in Italy for 30 years now and are still going strong! That just goes to show that shoes like the AKU Women’s Ultralight Micro GTX are not only of the highest quality but also boast excellent features that are perfect for walking and hiking. The functionality and comfort of the shoes have remained, but the combinations of colours have continued to be updated so that all the models live up to the standards of fashionable women out there who enjoy roaming the mountain and valley trails. They’ll go with virtually every trendy colour! Plus, as the name already suggests, the shoes are extremely lightweight whilst still delivering all the advantages of a GORETEX shoe: they’re waterproof, windproof and breathable. The shoes’ excellent breathability is not only due to the membrane, but also the construction of the upper, namely the AKUSystem 8000. This was developed in 1991 and patented as a result of the sheer innovativeness of the technology. According to the company’s own laboratory tests, this system offers up to 11.5 times greater breathability than normal standards identified by GORETEX. When it comes to breathability, this system is still considered to be one of the best technologies for lightweight mountain boots. In addition, the shoes fit incredibly well, and even though the traction provided by the Vibram sole Erica Everest won’t do the trick on Everest itself, it is perfect for terrain of medium difficulty. The shoes’ design will deliver enough stability and lateral support as well. Regardless of whether you’re hiking the mountains or you love sprinting through the forest, the Women’s Ultralight Micro GTX will do the trick.
