Men’s and women’s builds: ROCKET is available in a women’s version specified as adapted to female foot anatomy.

“Will grip feel secure on steep, technical trails?” ROCKET specifies Vibram® Rocket Traction Lug with Vibram® Megagrip, with Traction Lug stated to improve traction and grip by 25% thanks to its design.
“I want a more precise fit for difficult ground.” AKU Dual Fit System (DFS) is specified to let you adjust fit precision via two different lacings.
“Do I need waterproofing for UK conditions?” ROCKET specifies Gore-Tex® More Seasons lining for waterproof/breathable protection in changeable weather.
“Will it feel efficient at speed, not clunky?” The family uses AKU Elica Natural Stride System to support biodynamic efficiency and natural roll-through.

Choose by cut: Select ROCKET DFS GTX for a lower-cut, faster feel; choose ROCKET MID DFS GTX for more coverage through the ankle.
Choose by fit intent: Use DFS to tune precision for technical trails; relax the fit slightly for longer, mixed-distance days.
Choose by route difficulty: ROCKET suits more demanding trails; for easier mixed routes and more relaxed walking, consider less technical fast-hiking options.
Choose the women’s version where appropriate: The women’s ROCKET is specified as adapted to female foot anatomy.

DFS fit tuning: Use the two-lacing setup to adjust hold and precision for technical terrain versus longer, steadier walking.
Size range (as specified): Men’s ROCKET DFS GTX is specified in UK 3–13; ROCKET MID DFS GTX is specified in UK 6–13. Women’s versions are specified in UK 3–9.
Return-reduction tip: Decide sizing with your intended sock thickness, then fine-tune precision with DFS lacing before committing to outdoor use.

Brush off grit/mud after use, especially around the 3D-printed 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, which can damage materials and reduce component life.
