Dogma
AKU DOGMA is a premium, high-cut hunting-boot family built for demanding forest and mountain use where protection, stability and long-wear comfort matter on heavy-load days. In AKU’s activity intent, DOGMA is specified for Hunting, Mountain/Forest Work and Challenging routes or with heavy loads, making it a strong choice for long UK woodland days across mud, wet grass, steep banks and uneven tracks. The family combines a hard-wearing Perwanger suede/PU-Tech upper with Gore-Tex® waterproof/breathable protection, a supportive double density PU wedge, and a Vibram® Curcuma outsole for controlled traction on mixed ground.

Fit & sizing guidance
- Fit concept: Last category specified as PERFORMANCE FIT; aim for secure heel hold and stable midfoot containment for controlled footing.
- Return-reduction tip: Size with your intended sock system (thicker for colder months, thinner for higher-output days), then confirm toe room on steps/descents indoors before use.
- Long-day setup: Tune lacing to reduce foot movement on side slopes while keeping forefoot comfort for sustained time on feet.
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.
