Omnia
|
AKU OMNIA is a fast-hiking family built for mixed UK routes where surfaces change constantly: damp footpaths, forest tracks, towpaths, compacted gravel and the short pavement sections that link it all together. OMNIA pairs Gore-Tex® waterproof protection with a lighter, more dynamic feel for medium-difficulty terrain, while keeping traction focused for real-world everyday use. The family is specified as made without animal leather and built around recycled inputs across key components. For active travel, e-biking and fast hiking in changeable weather, OMNIA is designed to support comfortable roll-through, stable footing and practical durability for frequent use.

AKU OMNIA: what it is (and why it exists)
- Family intent: Fast hiking, active travel and e-biking footwear for mixed routes and medium-difficulty terrain.
- Design philosophy: Built to combine waterproof protection with a lighter, more flexible feel for moving efficiently on everyday mixed ground.
- Lower-impact direction: Specified as made without animal leather, with recycled content specified across multiple components.
The OMNIA build pillars
- 1) Gore-Tex® Most Breathable Recycled lining: Waterproof protection with breathability specified for higher-output use.
- 2) AKU Elica Natural Stride System: Integrated outsole/last concept designed to support natural roll-through and reduce impact and strain.
- 3) Tenuta Grip outsole: Specified for mixed off-road and urban use, with grip focus on smooth and damp surfaces.
- 4) Co-moulded sole construction: Dual-density EVA midsole with wedge and tread co-moulded to reduce the use of adhesives.
- 5) Comfort components: OrthoLite® Hybrid footbed with partially recycled content specified for underfoot comfort.
Materials and build character (family-level)
- Upper concept: Specified as made without animal leather, using microfibre and recycled fabrics.
- Recycled inputs (as specified): Upper fabric with 50% recycled post-consumer polyester; yarns and webbing with 100% recycled post-consumer polyester.
- Water repellency: Upper treatments are specified as PFAS-free water repellency treatments.
- Midsole and outsole content (as specified): Midsole includes 10% biobased sugarcane EVA; outsole includes 10% recycled pre-/post-consumer synthetic rubber.
How OMNIA answers real buyer concerns
- “Will it cope with UK wet weather?” OMNIA is specified with a waterproof Gore-Tex® lining to handle rain, wet ground and damp paths.
- “Will grip feel secure on wet, smoother surfaces?” The Tenuta Grip outsole is specified for mixed off-road and urban use, with emphasis on smooth and damp surfaces.
- “I want waterproofing but I still overheat.” The family specifies Gore-Tex® Most Breathable Recycled lining to support breathability during higher-output movement.
- “Is it suitable for e-biking as well as walking?” OMNIA is specified for e-biking, including a forefoot design detail intended to promote grip on e-bike pedals.
How to choose within the OMNIA family (practical guide)
- Choose by primary use: OMNIA is specified for fast hiking, active travel and e-biking on medium-difficulty terrain.
- Choose by fit intent: Select the men’s or women’s version based on the fit concept; the women’s model is specified with women’s-specific plantar anatomy and last.
- Choose by route mix: Ideal when your day includes trail + track + short pavement links, where a lighter feel and predictable grip matter more than maximum stiffness.
- Move up in support when needed: If your routes demand more ankle coverage or heavier-load support, choose a mid/boot category rather than forcing a low-cut fast-hiker into that role.
Fit & sizing guidance
- Size range (as specified): Men’s UK 3–13; women’s UK 3–9.
- Women’s model: Specified with women’s-specific plantar anatomy and last.
- Return-reduction tip: Decide sizing with your intended sock thickness (thinner for higher-output movement; slightly thicker for colder, wetter months), then tune hold with lacing for walking versus e-biking.
Care & longevity
- Brush off grit/mud after use, especially around seams 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, which can damage materials and reduce component life.
