La Sportiva Akyra GTX

Akyra is a waterproof footwear with Gore-Tex membrane for winter trail running. Structured and protective, it is suitable for ultra trails, ultra marathons and long training sessions in the cold season. Akyra is particularly enveloping, comfortable and protective and is designed for long off-road use. The upper in water repellent and non-slip mesh is very enveloping and structured with its 3 layers going from the inside to the outside, while the seamless construction provides comfort. The innovative MicroLite Skeleton™ applications dynamically follow the movements of the foot and the texturing Flex-Guard™ applications minimise weight while providing a barrier against abrasion that can occur when running over roots and rocks. Exceptional stability is provided by the TrailCage System™ technology, which is located between the two shank layers. It provides structure and good embedding of the foot and is integrated into the lacing system. The sole, developed by la Sportiva's R&D department, has the new grippy FriXion XT tread pattern with Impact Brake System, exclusive design and Trail Rocker technology, which supports the natural "heel out - toe in" during running. Cushioning, protection and comfort, 3 sides of a perfect geometry: the Origami, which inspires the general design. With Akyra, winter running becomes an art.
