AKU Aira V Light W's Blue/Grey

AKU Aira V-Light Women's (AK788.1) – Blue/Grey

The AKU Aira V-Light Women's in Blue/Grey is a 265g low hiking trainer built for the days that don't need Gore-Tex — warm-weather fell walks, around-town outings, gorpcore days where the knit breathes freely and the weight stays out of the way. Recycled knit upper, AKU Tenuta Grip outsole with partially recycled rubber, Double Density EVA midsole with Ortholite underfoot. 10g lighter than the Aira V-Light Gore-Tex Women's with no membrane in the way, so the knit ventilates actively from the first step. The low hiking shoe that earns its keep on the trail and doesn't look out of place off it.

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT

• Recycled knit upper with no waterproof membrane — active ventilation throughout; breathes freely on warm-weather fell days and high-output walks where a Gore-Tex layer would trap heat rather than add value
• AKU Tenuta Grip outsole — Partially Recycled — AKU's own rubber compound grips on wet stone, muddy paths, and uneven ground, with partially recycled rubber construction reducing material impact
• 265g per half pair — 10g lighter than the Aira V-Light Gore-Tex Women's — the entire 10g saving comes from the absent membrane; choose the non-GTX for warm seasons and breathability-first days, the Gore-Tex version when waterproofing is non-negotiable
• Recycled materials throughout — recycled knit upper, partially recycled Tenuta Grip outsole, and Ortholite Hybrid partially recycled footbed; built to reduce material impact without compromising weight or performance
• UK 3–9 including half sizes

BEST FOR

• Hikers and gorpcore wearers wanting a lightweight low hiking trainer for warm-weather fell walks, moorland paths, and urban days — where breathability leads and Gore-Tex would be surplus weight
• Women who want the Aira V-Light's recycled-materials build without the membrane: the right shoe for spring and summer outings, city breaks, and any day where internal moisture management matters more than external waterproofing
• Anyone looking for a single pair of hiking trainers that transitions from trail to street — AKU Tenuta Grip handles both, and 265g per foot means you stop noticing the shoe and start focusing on the day
