AKU Rocket DFS GTX WS – Fast Hiking Performance Without Compromise

The AKU Rocket DFS GTX WS has been developed for hikers who move fast on technical terrain and demand the perfect balance of lightweight comfort, stability and mountain performance. It combines the agility of a trail running shoe with the protection and support of a modern hiking shoe.

The exclusive Dual Fit System (DFS) is one of the shoe's key innovations. Two independent lacing systems allow separate adjustment of the forefoot and ankle, providing maximum comfort during regular hiking and extra precision when tackling steep, rocky or technical sections.

The lightweight upper combines durable synthetic fabric with an external 3D Print protection layer that increases abrasion resistance while maintaining excellent flexibility and breathability.

The waterproof GORE-TEX® Performance Comfort membrane keeps feet dry in rain, mud and wet grass while allowing moisture to escape during high-intensity activities.

AKU's exclusive Elica Natural Stride System promotes a more natural walking motion, improving stability, reducing fatigue and enhancing long-distance comfort.

The outsole features Vibram® Megagrip rubber combined with Traction Lug technology, increasing grip by up to 25% on loose terrain, wet rock and challenging mountain trails.
