"I would buy this shoe", said one jury member after testing the Stokka Advance GTX from Alfa Sko, the winner in the footwear category. The sneaker-like low-cut shoe is super comfortable, its snug fit supports the foot and gives good ground control. The sole offers the right balance of stability and good cushioning and the waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex membrane will keep the feet dry."
The jury's statement from the Scandinavian Outdoor Award when Stokka Advance GTX won in the shoe category.
Description
The Stokka Advance GTX is a so-called "fitsleeve", and can resemble a sock that is stretched, so you can easily step into the shoe. It is elastic and fits well around the foot. The fit can be further adjusted by lacing. Stokka is made of light, durable Bluesign®-approved textiles that sit well on the foot and give a soft and comfortable feeling during use. The EVA sole provides cushioning adapted to walking and provides an ideal combination of support under the arch of the foot, better space for the toes and a well-balanced grip on hard surfaces. All to give you a stable and comfortable gait. GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofness and good breathability. This makes the shoes perfect for daily use and for easier walks, regardless of the weather forecast.
"Foot first" was the starting point when the Stokka Advance GTX was developed in collaboration with shoe innovator Mike Friton. Here we have spared no details.
