AKU Bellamont IV Suede GTX Brown Mod/Light Brown

AKU Bellamont IV Suede Gore-Tex (AK504.4) – Brown Mod/Light Brown

The AKU Bellamont IV Suede Gore-Tex in Brown Mod/Light Brown is a 450g low hiking trainer built for the full range of British outdoor use — wet moorland paths, muddy fell tracks, boggy approaches, and the walk home. A 1.8mm suede upper, sourced from LWG-certified Italian tanneries with 100% traceable components, sits over a Gore-Tex More Seasons Recycled waterproof membrane that adds three-season protection without a meaningful weight penalty over the non-waterproof Bellamont IV Plus (450g versus 455g per half pair). The Vibram N-Oil outsole delivers grip across mixed terrain and paved surfaces, while the partially recycled EVA midsole and eco footbed — coconut fibre, latex, bamboo — carry the sustainability commitment through every layer of construction.

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT

• Gore-Tex More Seasons Recycled membrane — keeps feet dry through wet moorland, boggy tracks, and sustained rain across autumn, winter, and spring; the membrane is made with recycled fibres, reducing the environmental overhead without changing the three-season waterproofing performance
• Vibram N-Oil outsole — grips on wet stone, muddy paths, and urban surfaces; N-Oil uses olive oil-derived plasticisers, making it one of Vibram's most sustainable rubber compounds without compromising traction across the mixed terrain these shoes cover
• LWG-certified Italian suede upper, 1.8mm — sourced from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group, with a metal-free lining and 100% traceable components; suede that handles trail conditions and improves with wear without looking out of place in town
• 450g per half pair — 5g lighter than the Bellamont IV Plus despite carrying full Gore-Tex waterproofing — the suede upper and recycled membrane keep the weight effectively identical to the non-GTX sibling; three-season protection added at essentially zero weight cost
• UK 6–13 including half sizes where available

BEST FOR

• For day walkers and fell hikers who need waterproof low hiking trainers with genuine sustainability credentials — LWG leather, recycled Gore-Tex membrane, and a partially recycled midsole in one shoe
• For hikers choosing within the Bellamont IV family who need three-season waterproofing that the Bellamont IV Plus doesn't provide — at essentially the same weight (450g versus 455g per half pair)
• For trail-to-town use on wet British days — capable enough on boggy moorland and wet rock, comfortable enough for pavement, commute, and city streets
