Gear Review: AKU Pilgrim Hi Combat GTX Hiking Boot

Derrick Knowles — Sun, 22 Aug 2021 02:57:47 +0000

I have struggled for years to find the right boot for off-trail, backcountry elk hunting trips, and I think I finally found what I’ve been looking for with this AKU boot. These boots fit like a light-weight hiking boot but offer exceptional foot and ankle support for walking off-trail in steep, rugged country.

The Pilgrim boot has been a UK Army combat boot for years in Europe, and the boot’s features cross over to hunting like a dream. The upper is made with AKU’s Air8000 breathable nylon and full grain leather, with a Gore-Tex liner and Vibram sole that has a high-toe spring for miles of comfortable walking.

MSRP: $229-249. Akuoutdoor.us

By Wil Wheaton

Named after a rare goat-antelope found in the remote Eastern Himalayas, Mishmi Takin makes high performance outdoor gear for wet conditions. The Jampui mid hiking boots are a great choice for backpackers and long-distance hikers who want a tough, light boot that will hold up through difficult trails and off-trail hiking.

The boots are super light (15oz per boot), strong and supportive, and ultra breathable thanks to the eVent membrane that helps keep feet cool and dry. And there’s no sacrificing traction with the Vibram Megagrip, even in wet conditions.

MSRP: $174.93 (sale price: $149.93). Mishmitakin.com

These boots made by Italian company AKU are a light, nimble, waterproof/breathable option for taking on the Inland Northwest’s rougher mountain trails. The Elica Fit technology allows your feet their natural range of motion and normal heel and forefoot positioning for comfort and control. And welded PU exoskeletons, Vibram Megagrip outsoles, and a mid-cut profile provide foot and ankle support and traction on rocky trails and during unplanned but always fun lost trail bushwhacks.

MSRP: $179.95, Akuoutdoor.com
