Akyra GTX is particularly enveloping, comfortable and breathable. 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 shaft in water-repellent and non-slip mesh is very enveloping and textured with 3 layers going from the inside to the outside, while the seamless construction provides comfort. The innovative MicroLite Skeleton™ applications follow the movements of the foot dynamically and the structuring Flex-Guard™ applications minimize the weight and at the same time offer a barrier against wear that can occur when running over roots and rock. The extraordinary stability is provided by the TrailCage System™ technology, which is located between the two shaft layers. It offers structure and good embedding of the foot and is integrated in the lacing system. The sole, developed by la Sportiva's R&D department has the new grippy FriXion XT shoe profile with Impact Brake System, features exclusive design and Trail Rocker technology, which supports the natural appearance of "heel outside - toe inside" during running. Cushioning, protection and comfort, 3 sides of a perfect geometry: the Origami, the inspiration for the general design. With Akyra, winter running becomes an art.
