AKU Conero GTX – Traditional Hiking Boots

The AKU Conero GTX is a traditional, tough yet lightweight hiking boot built for medium to long distances. Comfortable on extended treks at mid-mountain height, it pairs a 1.8 mm suede/AIR 8000® upper with a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX® Performance Comfort lining, a protective rubber rand and a Vibram® Fourà outsole for all-condition grip.
