Size Guide

For over 40 years, AKU has been handcrafting hiking, mountaineering, hunting, and tactical footwear in Italy. Every pair is built on lasts modelled from real feet — which makes finding your perfect size simple.

How to Measure Your Feet

Step onto a piece of paper and mark behind your heel and in front of your longest toe.
Do this for both feet and measure the distance between the lines in centimeters. This measurement is your Mondopoint.
Using the measurement from your longest foot, find your corresponding size in the chart below.

Noticeable Craftsmanship

Stellar boot. Great craftsmanship, fit, and performance in austere environments. Used in fast paced urban areas too.

Confort et robustesse

Ma troisième paires de Pilgrim je les adore. Stabilité et soutien pour les chevilles sur terrain accidenté et au quotidien. Je les utilisent dans mon travail comme militaire autant que dans mes activités de plein air.

Perfect for my needs!

These were my pick for new boots for my day to day job in uniform. They are a bit more of a firm sole than the previous boots I was wearing but I appreciate how functional and comfortable they are. I am a women’s size 8.5 and the size 7 was a perfect fit.

Solid, good quality boot

Solid boot, my first set other than issued combat boot so I had a low bar! Tht being said, I love the height, colour, ruggedness and tread; I like the laces lock at the top. I had to exchange my original pair as even after measuring I found I needed at least a half size bigger than the sizing guide. That being said, the exchange was flawless. Would definitely grab another pair next time I am eligible and maybe sooner for personal use!

Question

How do you clean this shoes??

Pilgrim DS combat.

Wear these everyday and they are so comfy! Fit is the same as Pilgrim DS (desert style boot) but these seem a bit stiffer overall. Great boots for being on your feet all day. Perfect blend of stiff and being able to walk easily. Great warm weather boots as they breathe VERY well….don’t hesitate, just get them.

Great so far.

These boots are good so far. They take some breaking in so I've only worn them for garrison duty, but no issues.

Great

Awesome boots with great traction on difficult terrain, true to size. Can easily fit orthotics without having to size up. No real breaking in was required.

So good, I ordered a second pair.

Pilgrim DS Combat

I have been buying boots ever since I joined the CAF, these boots are some of the best boots, I've ever worn. A bit stiffer out the box, but they feel like running shoes now. 10/10 going to buy another set.

The Second pair

I ordered the GTX by mistake, the return process was easy, no cost for return shipping, I had my replacement boots within a week.

The boots are fantastic! The talk of the office

Fantastic boot. Very breathable while also having great ankle support. Great for both garrison and field use.

Pilgrim DS combat boot.

Great boot, fits perfectly and quite comfortable on long walks with weight on your back.

super confortable!

Les bottes sont super confortable, je les ai achetés pour faire de la randonnée dans la forêt. Ces bottes offre un support parfait pour mon pied et sont aussi bonnes pour la course en sentier que la marche. Très bonne absorption des choc. Le seul négatif de ces bottes sont l'odeur qu'elles avaient en sortant de la boite. C'est comme si elle avaient été entreposé dans une écurie... mais c'est un négatif que je suis capable de vivre avec.

Comfortable Boot

Like all AKU products I own I’m very happy with them. The comfort and construction are great. Only recommendation would be to have a loop on the back of the boot opposed to the tab for pulling the boot on.

Looking forward to my next AKU product

Amazing Boots

I now own a pair of these, as well as their Gore-Tex version. These boots are so comfortable, stable and breathable. They are surprisingly comfortable given the rigidity of the design, and my feet feel great in them even when marching with heavy (70lbs+) load carriage. Very light weight but the material feels very tough and I know they will hold up to years of use and abuse. They have great traction in field conditions. These are NOT designed for cold weather - the soles become hockey pucks, so find a different boot if you want these for winter.

Great!

The boots are light and not too warm. Perfect for the summer!

Good solid boots so far. Highly recommend sticking to sizing guide as they seem to be slightly large (in length) compared to other brands.

Amazing combat boots

I’m a medic in the Canadian Forces. I purchased these boots to replace a taller cut set from Danner. These boots were lighter, higher performing and lower cost delivered to my door. Hands down will recommend and purchase again

Great Combat Boots

Light weight, durable boots. Perfect boots for military applications.

AKU Boots

These are my third pair of pilgrims. They are by far the best boots I have. Your company is a pleasure to deal with. I will be highly recommending your business to my co-workers.

Quality.
