Women's hiking shoes ALFA Piggen 2.0 APS GTX W Phantom Black 2025

Meet the new and improved version of the bestseller among low-cut hiking shoes from the Norwegian brand ALFA – Piggen APS – Piggen APS 2.0! Ultra-light, comfortable, stable, and with a refined design, these shoes are perfect for any adventure – speed trekking, hiking on varied terrain, and long hours spent on your feet. And at the end of the day, you can return to the city, as their look fits perfectly in an urban environment.

The Piggen APS 2.0 model combines the revolutionary AlfaAir material (an ALFA patent) with a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane, resulting in a shoe that performs excellently in both wet and dry conditions—without overheating the foot, which benefits from effective ventilation. The Piggen APS uses a Gore-Tex Comfort membrane that offers optimal protection by keeping water out while allowing sweat to easily evaporate from the inside. ALFA specifically selects the type of Gore-Tex based on the shoe’s intended use, and in this case, they've opted for a versatile, lightweight, and breathable membrane suitable for any foot from early spring to late autumn. The only thing that could make this construction even better is the external AlfaAir material—made of several laminated layers, with the outer layer being a perforated microfiber that requires no maintenance, offers incredible durability, and provides exceptional ventilation even during the summer months.

An innovation in the 2.0 version of the legendary model is the combination of Alfa Air material with the ultra-light and highly durable Dyneema. Dyneema is a special fabric known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio—its fibers are extremely resistant to scratches and damage. This material is used in products where maintaining low weight without compromising durability is essential—such as hiking backpacks, footwear, and clothing for professional use.

The feel of the shoes on the foot is noticeably different thanks to the new Nortik last—a fresh innovation from ALFA. It’s designed to preserve the natural freedom of foot movement while protecting it from fatigue, even during long treks.

The low-cut hiking shoes Piggen APS 2.0 are extremely stable even on technical terrain, thanks to the Vibram MegaGrip sole made of a durable rubber compound that offers excellent traction, even on wet surfaces. The tread profile features a so-called self-adapting lug, which adds flexibility to the sole and allows for ideal adaptation to uneven terrain from any angle. The model is also equipped with a lightweight EVA midsole, which provides comfort through its shock-absorbing properties, cushioning every step you take.

For maximum comfort and quick on-and-off, the model uses the BOA Fit System mechanism, which allows you to easily adjust the shoe perfectly to your foot for a secure fit. This makes putting on and taking off the shoes possible in seconds, even with one hand.

Lightweight, comfortable, breathable, and with a modern design, the Piggen APS 2.0 GTX by ALFA will quickly become an indispensable part of your everyday life and hiking adventures.
