AKU Nef GTX


These are gorgeous Italian lightweight hikers with top notch construction and materials. Fit is excellent on low-mid-volume foot (men's euro 44). The "teeth" of these lightweight hikers was surprising through a few miles of hardscrabble Wasatch bushwhacking. Super impressive.
Pros
- Construction quality
- Materials (uppers, midsole, outsole, even laces)
Cons
- Availability?
These are gorgeous Italian lightweight hikers with top notch construction and materials. My first use out of the box involved inadvertently going three miles off-trail speed hiking/running to catch a closing (summertime) lift while hiking around DVR/Park City.
The "teeth" of these lightweight hikers was surprising, never even approached blistering and laces stayed tied through a few miles of hardscrabble Wasatch bushwhacking. Through another 20-25 miles on milder trail and around town use these hikers have been super impressive.
