DEP Dynamic Energy Point

The Dynamic Energy Point offers a dynamic support and facilitate the movement
the ankle on the insertion of an element made of synthetic rubber in height
the ankle. When walking, this element favors the return of the foot in the
Starting position without further loss of energy.

Air 8000

AIR 8000 is a material that is one set for the construction of the upper material. The main feature of this tissue that is protected by an international patent, is the increase in respiration activity. Laboratory testing confirms that allows AIR 8000 in a period of 24 hours breathability, which is 11.5 times higher than with a traditional fabric. One of a kind favors AIR 8000's breathability without compromising the stability of the upper material.

INJ = injection Lasting

AKU uses it during all phases of assembly and finish cooling including a special removable strips.
No other vendor holds the bars in these last two phases in the shoe. Allowed in the injection phase
the strips forming a perfect heel and toe. In the cooling phase, it helps the shoe to keep its original form, the contract otherwise due to the natural tendency of the polyurethane and then would be lost.

Vibram

Aku uses for a large part of their own shoes soles, which were evaluated for the design, the tread and the specific composition of the rubber compound designed depending on the specific user requirements and the shoe exclusively designed in collaboration with Vibram.

ALS = Asymmetrical Lacing System

The asymmetrical closure of AKU was developed by the stress of excess material and seams
to reduce to the most sensitive areas of the foot such as the internal pleated tongue, which is used in most trekking shoes. Unlike other shoes with two tongues can AKU the central Folded away to the smooth flow of blood to allow the foot.

GORE-TEX Footwear

GORE-TEX Footwear is a breathable, but completely waterproof micropore membrane. Each pore is 700 times larger than a Wasserdampfmolekühl, but 20 000 times smaller than the smallest naturally occurring water drops.
Their chemical and physical properties remain unchanged, making the membrane durable GORE-TEX biocompatible and invulnerable to chemical agents and acids.

GORE-TEX XCR Footwear

The structure of the shoes GORE-TEX Footwear with XCR guaranteed even during intense physical efforts at high temperatures and an optimal climate comfort in the shoe. The laminates GORE-TEX footwear with XCR consist of extremely breathable and water-repellent materials.

IMS =Internal Midsole System

Thanks to this exclusive system is no longer the foot in contact with the rigid surface of the insole, but with deformbaren internal surface of the sole. IMS takes the shape of the foot perfectly, prevents slipping, allows an even distribution of foot pressure, trips into the absorption of shocks and provides a more flexible support. The low profile midsole enhances the lightness and improves stability and performance simultaneously.

The adaptive to the foot insole is on AKU IMS - Internal Midsole System tuned.
It fits perfectly to the individual foot anatomy. This will ensure, especially in intensive
use in the footbed for a secure fit. In addition, it also ensures optimum shock absorption
and cushioning of the impact.
