Aku Croda GTX

Details

The Croda is an all round mountain boot, great for Scrambling and Via Ferrata.

Designed by Aku as an alround backpacking boot, but we beleive the Croda excels as an all round mountain boot. Given that it has Aku's IMS system (internal mid-sole), means that it is a very comfortable boot, but allowing it to have a low profile so your foot is as close to the ground as it can be. Aku's DEP system (Dynamic Energy Point), which is basically a lacing loop that stretches with the foot but then returns to its origional postion bring the heel back into the cup with each step, keeps the foot secure and the heel in place for optimum fit whilst on the move.

The Croda Gtx is light, has a cut away achilese for freedom of movement on scrambling ground, lacing that goes all the to the toe box for a close, snug fit and an aggresive but solid sole which gives excellent support, edging and contact on rock, via ferrata or the ground that you are crossing. If your looking for an all rounder that can cope with most situations you throw at it, then the Croda is a great choice, and being Gore-Tex means that it can cope with the wet weather, that makes the UK as green as it is, keeping your feet dry.
