AKU : the Italian shoe manufacturer
The brand AKU presents itself with over 40 years of experience in the footwear industry. To date, the manufacturer produces shoe models for the mountains, for hunting, or for outdoor leisure. The company's idea is simple, to become the irreplaceable companion during your adventures. For this, the raw materials used are selected based on the highest quality standards, with particular attention to environmental impact.
The story AKU begins in a small Venetian town, Montebelluna, with Galliano Bordin who was himself the son of shoemakers. The brand name, which means "a legendary adventure", spans from Scandinavia to the Alps, passing through the Pacific Ocean. AKU is indeed the name of a benevolent spirit in one of the legends that populate the imagination of the indigenous people of Easter Island. This short and easy-to-remember name has a meaning close to the sensitivity of the company and its product users!
AKU : it is the combination of technical performance with a professional product
As the years go by, the brand's expertise is increasingly appreciated. Its role in the outdoor market has become the reference brand for a wide audience. Whether it is adventure or hiking enthusiasts, farmers, lumberjacks, naturalists, outdoor photographers, mountain guides, mountain rescue technicians, or nature lovers, all choose AKU for their journeys. Indeed, typical of a shoe for enjoying leisure time in contact with nature, the brand pays particular attention to the theme of the relationship between man and nature.For your most beautiful adventures, AKU uses excellent technologies: DFS, AIR8000, GORE-TEX, PRIMALOFT, and VIBRAM. All ensure precision, fit, and incredible comfort, regardless of the conditions of your hikes.
But the commitment of AKU does not stop at producing outdoor shoes capable of meeting the highest functional performance. It also expresses itself in terms of environmental sustainability, promoting responsible use and reuse of resources. Today, the company focuses on the principles of a circular economy!
