AKU Selvatica Tactical GTX Low – Lightweight Tactical / LE Boot

The AKU Selvatica Tactical GTX Low is engineered to be the perfect blend of performance, comfort, lightness and practicality across demanding environments. Built for military and law-enforcement duties but versatile enough for multi-terrain use (even light hunting), it pairs a highly breathable AIR8000® + welded PU film upper with GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort for all-weather waterproofing. Easy cleaning, quick drying and rubber protective caps ensure long life in harsh conditions. A cushioned injected EVA midsole, quality insole and specialised outsole deliver day-long comfort during long wears.
