The Aku Selvatica MID GTX are hiking shoes & walking boots that the brand itself has cataloged in the part of 'fast hiking'. In order to provide that speed, they have applied technologies that Aku has developed, in addition to making fast hikes more comfortable, they have also included a very good grip thanks to the Vibram sole.
Aku wanted a model prepared for all types of terrain and weather, for this it has been essential to introduce the waterproof Gore-Tex membrane. Whether it's cold or rainy, your feet will stay dry and warm.
The Selvatica MID GTX are prepared for fast hiking, so they have also had to put in good breathability. For that they have used a technology that has been made by the same brand, AIR8000® + WELDED PU FILM. It has been placed in the instep area and according to Aku it breathes 11.5 times more than the most common materials.
Theyhave done away with seams and used Polyurethane, reinforcing the weakest areas and ensuring the union of the different parts. This material will also ensure that the shoes have a long durability and that we are not afraid to face the most technical sections.
One of the strongest points, which has also been developed by the brand itself, is the insole, midsole and outsole. After comparing and mixing different materials they have achieved this perfect combination, Aku has named it Elica Natural Stride System. This set achieves an optimal load distribution in the tread, thanks to the insole in the back, to reduce the impact and increase comfort.
The insole itself, known as OrthoLite, offers breathability and cushioning. On the other hand, the sole is also of superior quality, the well-known Vibram sole accompanies the shoe getting a guaranteed grip.
As we have mentioned before, Selvatica MID GTX have directed all their technology to be able to perform a light and fast hiking. That's why the target of this product are people who like to go on nature outings either in summer or winter.
The terrain where this model feels comfortable is very varied, it can be used for a simple trekking or to go through the most technical trails without fear of slipping or breaking the shoes. They have a good durability so if the excursions I am very often they adapt perfectly.
