The AKU Tactical Sentinel Low GTX footwear was specifically designed for intervention units of the integrated rescue system, but also for civilians who want to enjoy their activities in various terrain conditions. The shoes are ideal for quick movement, providing the user with maximum possible comfort.
The Sentinel Low GTX shoes from the Italian company AKU Tactical are a perfect combination of performance, comfort, lightness, and practicality. These shoes are suitable for demanding situations, not just tactical ones. The footwear is also made specifically for military and police actions, as it is certified for that purpose (meets the EN 20347:2022 standard).
The AKU Tactical Sentinel Low GTX shoes have features for everyday operational use. In this context, we must mention the quick lacing system or the tongue lace pocket, as well as the easy maintenance, which will be appreciated by all those who like to use these shoes but do not want to spend more time caring for them than necessary. These shoes are easy to clean and dry quickly.
These shoes can have the "tactical" attribute, among other things, thanks to the advanced materials used by the manufacturer. The combination of "microfiber" and fabric with rubber elements and reinforced ankle slows down the wear and tear of the shoes and ensures long-term functioning in various types of terrain and conditions.
The abbreviation GTX in the name of this footwear means Gore-Tex, indicating that the Sentinel Low GTX shoes use a membrane from this brand. Specifically, it is the Gore-Tex More Seasons membrane. This name itself suggests that this solution is suitable for multiple seasons. Gore-Tex, together with other materials, ensures the water resistance of the shoe 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 the AKU Tactical Sentinel Low GTX shoes, you can stay dry and comfortable under all circumstances. Regardless of the current weather outside, you can rely on these shoes – whether you are a civilian or a professional. Thanks to its anatomical shape, the footwear wraps around the foot to provide stability and supports the wearer when walking even in very rough terrain.
Comfortable walking is also ensured by the midsole made of injected EVA foam. The insole is also made from antistatic "EVA". The footwear grips well in the terrain also 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.
