AKU Men's Pilgrim GTX Combat Fg M Boat Shoe

Product Information

Introducing the AKU Pilgrim HL GTX, the ultimate tactical footwear engineered for unmatched performance and durability. The wide sole version of the PILGRIM GTX Combat FG M is a true multi-purpose highly breathable boot with outstanding support, stability and impact absorption. Right away they were very soft and comfortable, with the exception of the ankle collar which was very stiff, and will need wearing in.

It is also worth noting that these boots were made in Romania rather than the Italian factories, and are not part of the MOD Contract fabrication. Offers moderate insulation to keep feet dry and comfortable during outdoor activities in a variety of weather conditions. Designed to excel in the harshest environments, this combat boot is a reliable companion for military personnel, law enforcement officers, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a reliable and high-performing footwear option. And I wish I could say that I was proven wrong, but man, those Salomon’s sure are comfy as hell, albeit they are fragile as hell too. Designed together with the Army’s Special Forces, the Pilgrim TSC GTX is very lightweight, breathable and waterproof, particularly suited for hot climates and desert fields.Below the IMS midsole is a thicker layer of 5mm (under the forefoot) and 17mm (under the heel) high-density EVA which absorbs impact forces from the ground. The Pilgrim FG (FG stands for full grain, as in the leather used on the lace placket) provides a supportive and stable platform for Combat High Liability duties. 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. Its sleek and stylish black design exudes a professional and tactical look, suitable for any mission or adventure. IMS 1: The Internal Midsole System ensures a uniform distribution of pressure, prevents from lateral and frontal slipping under heavy use and provides shock absorption.

The team hold extensive knowledge about military life and their aim is to share their collective knowledge with the masses. Vibram: For 90% of its footwear, AKU uses exclusive soles designed and engineered in cooperation with Vibram® to suit the specific use requirements of the footwear involved. 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.Apparently its “ level of breathability increases over a period of 24 hours up to more than 11 times that of a conventionally made fabric“. Even thought the Pilgrims were a terrific boots for the job in every way, the 6″ high enough to keep my ankle from rolling and the whole construction was like a body armour for my feet, the humidity of the air and the Gore-Tex left my feet the tiniest bit moist after long day of doing “soldierish” stuff. When I wore them for a hike with my Scouts recently, one of the other Leaders commented that they look a bit like ice-skate boots. Gore-Tex® Performance Comfort: Offers moderate insulation to keep feet dry and comfortable during outdoor activities in a variety of weather conditions.
