How to choose hiking shoes?
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.

Low hiking shoes:
Lightweight and flexible, perfect for short hikes on beaten terrain such as paths or mule tracks or for summer walks. They allow greater freedom of movement and breathability but offer less support.
