Garmont Akron Mid GTX Men's Trekking Boots - Black/Garmont Orange - EU 43

On a rocky ridgeline or a muddy forest path, the Garmont Akron Mid GTX keeps you moving with confidence. The 1.6mm suede leather and synthetic upper shrugs off abrasion, while the Gore-Tex® Extended Comfort lining seals out water without trapping heat. A rubber toe cap and heel cap shield against impacts, and the dual-density EVA midsole absorbs shock on long descents. The Garmont GTF Magnet rubber outsole bites into loose dirt, wet rock, and roots, giving you reliable traction in variable conditions. The traditional lacing system and medium stiffness provide a stable, supportive feel that doesn’t sacrifice agility, making these boots a solid choice for day hikes and multi-day treks.
