AKU - Rocket Dfs GTX - Multisport shoes tested

Disappointingly fragile

I bought these shoes in October 2024 and found them immediately comfortable. I have worn them for hiking, single days and multi-day using B&B accommodation, in fairly gentle English terrain. They quickly lost waterproofing via cracking in the upper, in the area where the shoe flexes with walking. I have used them for no more than a few hundred kilometres.

On a four-day hike recently, with no heavy rain but a lot of wet grass, I was forced to wear waterproof socks, as my feet became wet within a short distance.
