The AKU Tactical Sentinel GTX footwear was designed specifically for intervention units of the integrated rescue system, but also for civilians who want to enjoy their activities in various terrain conditions. The boots are ideal for quick movement, providing the user with maximum possible comfort.
The Sentinel GTX boots from the Italian company AKU Tactical are a perfect combination of performance, comfort, lightness, and practicality. These boots are suitable for demanding situations, not just tactical ones. Moreover, the footwear is directly created for military and police actions, as it is also certified for this purpose (complies with EN 20347:2022 standard).
The AKU Tactical Sentinel GTX boots feature functions for everyday operational use. In this context, we must mention the quick lacing system or the lace pocket in the tongue, as well as the easy maintenance, which will be appreciated by everyone who likes to use the boots but does not want to spend more time caring for them than necessary. These boots are easy to clean and dry quickly.
These boots can be called "tactical" also due to the advanced materials that the manufacturer has used. The combination of "microfiber" and fabric with rubber elements and reinforced ankle slows down the wear of the boots and ensures long-term functionality in various terrains and conditions.
The abbreviation GTX in the name of this footwear stands for Gore-Tex, meaning that the Sentinel GTX boots utilize a membrane from this very brand. Specifically, it is the Gore-Tex More Seasons membrane. This name alone evokes that this solution is suitable for multiple seasons. Along with other materials, Gore-Tex ensures the boots' waterproofness while maintaining breathability. This is because the structure of this membrane has pores significantly smaller than a drop of water but significantly larger than a molecule of condensed moisture inside.
With AKU Tactical Sentinel GTX footwear, you can stay dry and comfortable under all circumstances. Regardless of the weather outside, you can rely on these boots—whether you are a civilian or a professional. Thanks to their anatomical shape, the boots wrap around the foot to provide stability and support the wearer while walking, even in very rough terrain.
Comfortable walking is also ensured by the midsole made of injected EVA foam. The insole is also made of antistatic “EVA.” The footwear holds well in terrain thanks to the AKU Tenuta Grip solution, which is a specially developed compound for the tread of the sole. This solution is suitable for mixed and terrain conditions and is especially adhesive on smooth and wet surfaces.
