La forma

The creation of a last, the result of constant research into plantar anatomy, is a long and painstaking process that embodies AKU's extensive experience in the design and production of high-quality mountaineering, backpacking, and trekking footwear.

The original AKU shape is the matrix from which, thanks to specific adaptations, the different types of shape derive, which vary in relation to the different models and the specific function of use of the product.

Soft and welcoming shapes are the prerogative of footwear in this segmentACTIVE, intended for light outdoor activities, in non-demanding conditions and on regular surfaces. Enveloping and anatomical shapes are instead intended for footwear in the segmentTREKKING, to offer stability and promote dynamic action when walking on mountain trails with very uneven surfaces. Finally, slim and elongated shapes are used in professional footwear in the segmentMOUNTAIN, to promote precision and sensitivity when used in rock and ice climbing.
