The Trekker Lite model has been on the market for over 13 years, but that doesn't mean its continuous development has rested on its laurels. A new design, a new rand around the boot, or new eyelets – this is just a small selection of what AKU has improved in the third generation of this model.

The upper is made of suede leather, 1.8 mm thick, combined with AIR 8000 textile (AKU's own technology guaranteeing up to 11 times better breathability compared to commonly used materials). Thanks to this combination, the boot is exceptionally breathable yet durable. The lining is provided by a waterproof Gore-Tex Performance Comfort membrane, so you don't have to worry about walking through streams or melting snow in these boots. The EVA midsole with dual-density foam, along with IMS1 cushioning, ensures comfort with every step, giving you confidence even on more challenging terrain. Comfort and safety are also complemented by a new suede rand around the entire boot. The toe is reinforced with hard rubber to protect against impacts with stones or tree roots. A firm grip is ensured by the VIBRAM Curcuma sole, which is exclusive to AKU.

Weighing just 570 grams, the Trekker Lite III GTX is an exceptionally lightweight trekking boot that offers its owners excellent foot protection, a firm and stable stride, excellent breathability for mountain hiking even in tropical temperatures, and long durability. This is also evidenced by the traceable origin of all materials used in the production of this boot.
