The heart of the project: the Michelin technical sole
Grip, durability and lightness
The heart of the project is the Michelin outsole, developed for approach and technical hiking. The dual-compound construction optimizes the balance between grip and durability, improving traction on rocky and uneven surfaces and increasing safety during landing. The integration of Fiberlite technology helps reduce the shoe’s overall weight while maintaining flexibility, dynamic comfort, and reliable traction even during prolonged use.
Waterproofness and comfort thanks to the GORE-TEX® membrane
AKRON GTX® also features a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane, which provides protection from rain and moisture without compromising breathability, ensuring constant comfort during outdoor activities, even on long hikes. Designed for those who actively and consciously experience the mountains, Garmont AKRON GTX® represents an ideal balance between technical know-how, premium materials, and design that is attentive to the needs of the modern hiker, positioning itself as a reliable option for those seeking grip, durability, and safety on complex terrain.
