About this deal

These boots are incredibly light weight and form fitting, definitely worth using if prone to blisters as I have had no issues unlike previous use with altbergs and hiax combat boots.

So much in fact that when the time comes to give up my current pair (which is not going to come any time soon, no matter how many kilometres I walk in these, these will last a long while. Alex, a lesser known member of the KitPest Team, is Mr Networking… At one of his many prosecco fuelled events he recently met the very nice peeps from AKU’s PR company. The AKU Pilgrim HL GTX in MOD Brown is the high leg version of the latest British Army combat boot and has been designed for UK forces working in temperate conditions. Crafted with precision and built to last, the Pilgrim GTX combines cutting-edge technology with AKU's renowned Italian craftsmanship. The Nitrile sole also provides improved resistance to high temperatures whilst still providing grip and stability across a wide variety of terrain.There is also a loop on the tongue which the laces go through to help hold it in place when it is laced up. These businesses are hand picked by our team and chosen using a few factors including the most important one of all, going above and beyond for others. Introducing the AKU Pilgrim HL GTX, the ultimate tactical footwear engineered for unmatched performance and durability. With the instep tightened, and the laces locked into the clip at the bottom of the ankle, I found that my foot did not slide forward to hit the end of the boot, and my heel was positively locked in place and not slipping. First of all I have to say, that I thought that I would never find another pair of boots that would be as comfortable out of the box as the Salomon 3D’s.

In technical terms the Pilgrim MK2 boots are a 6″ ankle boot (with a higher model available too), with suede leather reinforced upper part and lace eyelets. It was competing against other boots also in the trial and scored high with with the personnel in intensely active combat situations.Other features to note were a leather strip running the length of the lace gate, and which provides the lace loops. Then came the freezing cold and high snows, which too did not pose any kind of a challenge for the AKU boots. But in essence the boots are still the same however, and now free for everyone to purchase from AKU dealers too! Speed lacing the system and Vibram Sole, the boot is a great addition to the High Liability Combat Boot choices. And if I am not completely mistaken, the Pilgrim is a model that was designed and made first solely for Trekkitt!

To put it in context - I am ex Army Air Corps and have served all over the world in various roles including aircrew, and have worn all manner of boots, both issued and privately purchased. We regret that we cannot refund such items that are lost, or send replacements before the 15 working day period. Thanks to these features, the Pilgrim GTX Combat by AKU performs well in stability for demanding and dynamic conditions. In cold wet conditions this will mean to heat constantly being leeched from your feet and over time the possibility of a non-freezing cold injury.A chosen brand of the military and special forces AKU offer fit and function above and beyond other boot brands. The Gore-Tex lining ensures waterproofness, keeping your feet dry and comfortable even in the most challenging conditions.

I had a few brands and models in my mind, firstly Lowa Zephyrs, but I even considered Salomon 4D’s, even though I swore I am done with Salomon’s. Gore-Tex® Performance Comfort: Offers moderate insulation to keep feet dry and comfortable during outdoor activities in a variety of weather conditions.

The original Pilgrim has proved itself on duty and in operation and became the boot of choice for specialist armed forces and emergency services throughout the world. This midsole is not only flexible and soft but it moulds to the natural imprint of your foot ensuring an even distribution of pressure that ensures stability and less stress on the foot.
