AKU Mens Fastalpina GTX Grey Ochre
The Fastalpina GTX is a well designed and proper walking and trekking shoe that has been designed to be used for longer walks and treks. The key to the Fastalpinas comfort and support is the ingenious IMS 3 system. IMS 3 combines the outersole, an exoskeleton support structure and a 3D anatomical fit midsole. The outsole is exclusive to AKU and is a lightweight deep lugged Vibram unit combining durability with traction and stability. Cushioning and support is provided by the internal PU and EVA midsole which then extends up and around the heel to provide additional support and pronation control. The IMS 3D midsole provides a natural rolling flex to the boot without it being too soft or too stiff. The design of the midsole itself mimics the foot shape to cradle the foot in a natural
position reducing fatigue and internal movement. The internal shape of the boot is dictated by the last, a solid form that the boot is built around, and AKU use a special anatomical last which gives room around the metatarsal heads (toe joints) and control and support in the heel area minimising slippage and friction. AKU are one of very few manufacturers to make their boots with the last inside the shoe throughout the production process. Whilst this may take longer, and increase cost, it does ensure the shoe retains its shape integrity, resulting in a fit that remains true for the life of the shoe. To further enhance your comfort and security the lacing system uses rollers to allow an even and smooth lace pull eliminating tight spots. The uppers are a mixture of leather and
synthetic materials to provide durability and breathability. The synthetic material is a 3D Air Mesh, an incredibly breathable material that helps to keep your feet cool, this is then fully Gore-Tex lined for complete waterproofness. All together the Fastalpina is a supremely comfortable and high performance walking and trekking shoe suitable for walking in varied terrain and for longer treks in the mountains.
