This is love

I got these for the desert, as my alpine boots were overkill. These AKU Pilgrims are so comfortable, seem to breathe much better too. I heard they were comfortable, but I wasn’t expecting this much comfort. I wish I had boots like this while serving in the 82nd. AKU will be my new choice when it comes to footwear.

Great boot

My father bought these boots back in 2007, he then wore them throughout 2-3 tours in Afghanistan. Now fast forward to 2024 I’m wearing these bad boys, nothing is wrong with these boots except for the inside which is completely normal. If you like a boot with a shank making hiking easy buy these bad boys!

5 year end of service life review

What can I say? I've done just about everything there is to do in these boots. I've walked for days at a time, scaled mountains, crossed water, even rock climbed in them. They've performed no matter what.
One thing is that the top metal loops tend to cut the laces, as well as the leather rand has been fairly damaged from scree skiing. All problems easily fixed by some field repairs.
If you're looking for a 3 season combat boot that will do it all these are the gold standard
