Designed for mixed use on rock and ice, the AKU Croda DFS GTX women's mountaineering boots fend off wet conditions and allow you to vary the fit for comfort when trekking and precision when climbing.
- Lightweight but extremely tough Kevlar® aramid-fiber uppers with a Spider Frame over-injection resist impact and abrasion while ensuring excellent freedom of movement
- Integrated GORE-TEX Performance Comfort waterproof/breathable membranes keep your feet dry in all conditions
- Custom PRO aluminum-fit insoles enhance insulation and comfort
- Double-density polyurethane midsoles provide long-lasting durability and cushion
- 4–6 mm nylon and carbon-fiber lasting boards provide extra-stiff mountain performance
- Vibram Croda Litebase outsoles ensure stability, grip and precision in the most technical situations and work with traditional or semi-automatic crampons
- Elica technology ensures an anatomical fit to improve stability and weight distribution across the boot's soles, reducing pressure points on long mountain days
- Dual Fit System customizes your fit with 2 separate lacing systems—one to help control foothold while hiking, the other for a tighter, more precise fit when technical climbing
