WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT
- AIR8000 upper with Gore-Tex More Seasons — AKU's patented breathable construction transpires over 8,000g of moisture in 24 hours, working alongside the Gore-Tex waterproof lining to ventilate feet in sustained wet UK conditions; this combination is not found on the Adapta Nubuck GTX or Adapta SD GTX
- Direct-injection dual-density PU midsole — two PU densities provide cushioning on hard path surfaces and structural support through descents, without the fatigue of a heavier midsole construction
- AKU Elica Natural Stride System — promotes a natural walking gait from first wear, reducing the energy cost of each step across a full day in the hills
- 530g per half pair — 80g lighter than the Adapta Nubuck GTX and Adapta SD GTX — the suede and ripstop nylon upper with AIR8000 delivers the Adapta family's lightest Gore-Tex construction without sacrificing waterproofing or Vibram outsole grip
- UK 6–13 including half sizes
BEST FOR
- Day hikers covering longer routes on UK moorland and hill paths where the 80g per-half-pair weight saving over the Adapta leather models compounds across high-mileage days
- Walkers who want the breathability of AIR8000 alongside Gore-Tex More Seasons waterproofing — a combination not available in the other Adapta GTX models
- Weekend hillwalkers on the Lakes, Brecons, or Snowdonia choosing the Adapta range's lightest Gore-Tex boot for mixed three-season terrain
