AKU Aira V Light GTX W's Blue/Grey

AKU Aira V-Light Gore-Tex Women's (AK788) – Blue/Grey

The AKU Aira V-Light Gore-Tex Women's in Blue/Grey — 275g low hiking shoes built from recycled materials throughout. Recycled knit upper, Gore-Tex Most Breathable waterproofing made with recycled fibres, partially recycled AKU Tenuta Grip sole. Hiking trainers that earn their outdoor credentials on fell paths and moorland without the weight of a structured boot — lighter than any comparable waterproof low walking shoe in AKU's women's range. From muddy tracks and rocky trails to the commute, in the same pair of shoes.

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT

• Gore-Tex Most Breathable — the highest-breathability Gore-Tex membrane keeps feet dry on wet moorland and rain-caught days while managing heat build-up better than Gore-Tex More Seasons, so warm-weather trail days stay comfortable rather than clammy
• IMS Internal Midsole System — an adaptive cushioning layer between the lasting board and footbed that moulds to the exact shape of your foot, distributing pressure evenly across the full footbed for all-day comfort on trail, fell, or pavement
• Recycled construction throughout — recycled knit upper, Gore-Tex membrane made with recycled fibres, partially recycled AKU Tenuta Grip outsole, Ortholite Hybrid partially recycled footbed, recycled laces: the full sustainability brief met without cutting corners on performance
• 275g — the lightest waterproof low hiking shoe in AKU's women's range — 10g heavier than the non-waterproof Aira Women's (265g) for full Gore-Tex protection; 55g lighter than the Omnia V-Light Gore-Tex Women's (330g) while adding the IMS cushioning the Omnia doesn't carry
• UK 3–9 including half sizes

BEST FOR

• Women who want Gore-Tex waterproofing in the lightest possible low hiking shoe — at 275g, the Aira GTX Women's is 55g lighter than the Omnia V-Light GTX Women's while adding IMS cushioning the Omnia doesn't carry
• Hikers and fell walkers committed to a kit list with a lower environmental footprint — recycled materials throughout all components, with full Gore-Tex waterproofing and IMS comfort that don't compromise on performance to get there
• Active women who move between moorland paths, rocky trails and city streets in the same pair, wanting walking shoes that handle both without looking wrong on either
