Description
AKU Omnia V-Light GTX Hiking & Everyday Shoes
The AKU Omnia V-Light GTX is an ultra-versatile footwear solution for light and fast hiking, e-biking, and urban adventures. Crafted with completely non-animal and recycled materials, these shoes reflect AKU’s commitment to sustainability and performance. A special PFAS-free water-repellent treatment, coupled with a GORE-TEX® MOST BREATHABLE RECYCLED lining (made of ePE), ensures your feet stay dry in damp or wet conditions—without burdening the environment.
Key Features & Benefits
- Eco-Friendly Construction: The upper uses 100% non-animal and recycled materials; water repellency is PFAS-free; partial bio-based EVA in the midsole.
- GORE-TEX® ePE Lining: Maintains waterproofing and breathability with minimal ecological impact.
- Dual-Density EVA Midsole & Partially Recycled Rubber Outsole: Co-molded to reduce adhesives; the outsole’s asymmetrical pattern syncs with AKU’s Elica Natural Stride System for biodynamic efficiency.
- Silent Performance & Extra Grip: The forefoot has an increased toe cap density that enhances grip on e-bike pedals or uneven terrain.
- Lightweight, Durable Design: Each men’s shoe weighs ~370 g (UK size 8 ½). A 2.0 mm polypropylene + die-cut EVA lasting board keeps it extra flexible and supportive.
- Elica Natural Stride System: AKU’s proprietary biomechanical platform promotes a natural foot movement, optimizing support and push-off for greater walking comfort.
