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. The Vibram® Fourà anti-static nitrile sole is more resistant to chemicals, oil and acids, offering high durability and enabling a solid grip on a diverse range of terrains. The Pilgrim HL GTX Combat is a true multi-purpose highly breathable boot with outstanding support, stability and impact absorption. I have these ones, and we also have a pair of the new SELVATICA TACTICAL MID GTX boots, currently being put through their paces by our resident Italian Cave Troll, Tomasso. Thanks to these features, the Pilgrim GTX Combat by AKU performs well in stability for demanding and dynamic conditions.

Anatomical Fit: A wrap-around and anatomical fit for footwear in the Trekking segment, designed to provide stability and encourage a dynamic action when walking on mountain trails over very rough terrain. It is worth noting that in natural light these boots are a much darker brown than they appear in photographs online. They are now renowned for their tactical range that started with the US Navy Seals wearing the AKU Spider boot. With this in mind, I am surprised that they have been selected as a combat boot, especially with consideration to urban environments.Its sleek and stylish black design exudes a professional and tactical look, suitable for any mission or adventure.

The Nitrile sole also provides improved resistance to high temperatures whilst still providing grip and stability across a wide variety of terrain.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.
