Description

AKU Selvatica Tactical Mid GTX – Military / Law-Enforcement Boots

The AKU Selvatica Tactical Mid GTX is built to be a paragon of performance, comfort, lightness and practicality across demanding environments. Designed for military, law-enforcement and multi-terrain users, it balances tactical functionality with the flexibility needed for a wide range of activities—from patrols to light hunting. Easy cleaning and quick drying appeal to users who value convenience, while a mix of high-strength fabrics and welded PU film reinforcements, plus rubber caps, deliver durability against wear and tear. A GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort lining keeps feet dry and comfortable in all-weather use.

Super-lightweight and breathable, the upper features PU-pre-treated ribs that eliminate stitching, and the outsole/midsole combo provides dynamic support. The tread uses the exclusive AKU Elica Natural Stride System to optimise biodynamic efficiency, while Vibram® Selvatica Megagrip rubber maximises traction on wet or dry ground. OrthoLite® anti-microbial, breathable insoles add shock absorption. Also available in a women’s version.
