Whether you are heading out on a mountain hike, a long-distance walk or a technical trail, the AKU Alterra II GTX Women's is developed to deliver comfort, precision and stability in demanding conditions. The upper combines durable 1.6 mm suede leather with a flexible stretch fabric, providing an optimal balance between support and freedom of movement. The asymmetric lacing system and elastic construction ensure a precise fit that adapts to the natural shape of the foot, offering comfort from the very first step. Liba® Smart PU protection around the upper allows the shoe to withstand rough terrain and rocky sections without compromising on weight.

Waterproofing and breathability are taken care of by the Gore-Tex® More Seasons membrane, which keeps feet dry and comfortable in variable weather conditions. Underfoot, the Vibram® Alterra II outsole delivers solid grip and reliable contact with the ground, supported by a PU and EVA midsole that provides effective cushioning and response.

The shoe's medium-stiffness construction – a 6–4 mm nylon plate and shaped EVA – offers both support and flexibility, making it well suited for hikes of medium duration and intensity. The soft Custom Fit insole moulds to the contours of the foot, providing a tailored feel throughout the entire outing. The integrated Elica Natural Stride System supports the foot's natural movement for improved dynamics and reduced fatigue on long stages. The shoe is manufactured in Europe.
