Rocket Mid DFS GTX men's hiking boots

Aku Rocket Mid DFS GTX men's hiking boots are ideal for hikers seeking versatility between technical mountain terrain and easy forest trails for 3-season use. They are lightweight and robust, with a very grippy sole.

This mid-cut version stabilises the foot and ankle, suiting those carrying a backpack or wanting extra security.

 

The right balance of toughness and low weight

The synthetic fibre construction of these Rocket Mid DFS GTX boots creates very lightweight hiking footwear.

The mid-cut upper protects your ankles and supports the foot while preserving freedom of movement.

These shoes feature a waterproof, breathable Gore-tex membrane to cope with bad weather.

A protective rand provides effective impact protection on more technical terrain.

 

A responsive, flexible and grippy sole

Designed for walking on varied terrain, from forest trails to mid-mountain paths, the Rocket Mid DFS GTX has a grippy Vibram sole thanks to the arrangement, depth and firmness of its lugs.

This Vibram sole also provides better traction through its grip and a profile that puts energy into your stride as you walk.

The Rocket Mid DFS GTX sole has good flexibility for a smoother foot roll while maintaining effective cushioning.

 

Lacing that adapts to the terrain and your foot

These hiking shoes feature dual lacing, with each lace playing its own role:

• The 1st lacing system ensures comfort when walking on terrain that allows a smooth rolling stride.

• A 2nd lacing system over the forefoot tightens the upper closely around your foot for effective support and precise movement on the most demanding sections. This 2nd lacing system adjusts very quickly using a pull-tight self-locking system.

 

Other features:

• Gore-tex membrane
• Outsole: Vibram Rocket Traction Lug
• Insole: partially recycled Ortholite hybrid insole
• Midsole: dual-density polyurethane + 2 mm polypropylene and EVA layer
