Conero
AKU CONERO GTX is a traditional backpacking-family hiking boot built for UK routes where you cover medium-to-long distances, carry heavier loads, and need stable support in wet, changeable conditions. Within AKU’s activity intent, CONERO GTX also sits into Hunting – Forest use, making it a practical choice for long woodland days where traction, waterproof protection and all-day comfort matter across mud, leaf litter, wet grass and uneven tracks. A supportive high-cut build, suede + AIR8000® upper and Gore-Tex® lining target breathable comfort with weather protection, while the Vibram® Fourà outsole and Medium stiffness chassis help keep footing controlled on mixed terrain.

How to choose within the CONERO family (practical guide)
- Choose CONERO when distance increases: Best for medium-to-long hikes where stable support and fatigue reduction matter.
- Choose it for heavier-load days: Built for challenging routes or with heavy loads, rather than lightweight day-walk use.
- Choose it for forest hunting crossover: The Hunting – Forest tag supports long woodland days where waterproofing, traction and all-day comfort are priorities.
- Choose it when you want service life: Resoleable construction suits boots that will see regular mileage.
Fit & sizing guidance
- Fit concept: Last category specified as ANATOMICAL FIT, described as comfortable and enveloping, designed to offer comfort and stability and promote dynamic walking action on uneven ground.
- Return-reduction tip: Size with your intended sock thickness (slightly thicker in colder/wetter months). Confirm toe room on steps/descents and lock heel hold with lacing before outdoor use.
- Load-day setup: Aim for secure midfoot containment to reduce foot movement under load, without constricting forefoot comfort over long distances.
Care & longevity
- Brush off grit/mud after use, especially around seams, rubber protection zones and the outsole edge.
- Clean with lukewarm water and a soft brush; avoid aggressive detergents.
- Dry naturally at room temperature; remove insoles to help moisture escape.
- Avoid radiators/direct heat.
