Comfortable, lightweight and high-performance mountaineering boots for women
Whether you’re looking for footwear that’s great for mountaineering, climbing, trekking or hiking, the Women's Croda Dfs GTX fromAKU will do the trick. These boots are specially designed for women and will offer surefootedness on rough terrain, whether the conditions are wet, snowy or icy.
Super comfortable, functional, weatherproof and safe on all surfaces
Thanks to the Kevlar upper with the mesh Spider Frame structure and rubber rand, not only are they guaranteed to be durable, but they’ll also allow your feet to move naturally during tough tours. Plus, they’re equipped with a GORE-TEX Performance Comfort membrane in the lining that offers breathability properties and keeps moisture out.
Another practical feature includes the AKU Dual Fit System, which allows you to adjust the laces to change the fit and lets you switch between running and climbing mode. The laces are hidden by an elastic cover to prevent moisture and snow from entering the boots. To optimise the fit, they have a Custom Fit Pro Allum insole that traces the shape of your foot, provides support, keeps your feet warm and cushions your every step. As for the crampon-compatible Vibram Croda Litebase outsole, it provides excellent traction on difficult terrain. With the Women's Croda Dfs GTX, you’ll be itching to go out and into the mountains!
The features at a glance:
- They offer excellent traction on demanding mountaineering, climbing, hiking and trekking tours
- Waterproof and breathable thanks to the GORE-TEX Performance Comfort membrane
- Surefooted due to the crampon-compatible Vibram Croda Litebase sole
Hi Ruta,
The following is some feedback from recent test by Alpin.de.
The Croda has a wide forefoot and is therefore very comfortable. This goes well with the round rolling process. In the test field it is the gaiter mountain boot with the “smallest” gaiter. It's more of a cover for the lacing. The latter is in two parts and works as simply as it does well. With one you can lace the entire shoe, with the second you can (optionally) tighten the forefoot separately, for example for climbing. The shaft is also equipped with a small gaiter at the top.
Conclusion
All-round mountain boots that can be used for high altitude tours as well as for demanding hikes.
Two-piece lacing, very comfortable, good cushioning.
