SAS BOOTS FULL

If, at first glance, the new AKU boot looks very familiar that will be because it is an evolution of the Pilgrim boot conceived in 2012 by Trekitt of Hereford, at the request of some of their customers who liked the lightweight AKU Navy SEAL boot model but felt it needed a sturdier sole to last a full six month tour in the harsh terrain they were encountering on deployments. Produced by AKU Italia, a footwear company set up four decades ago with its home in Montebelluna in the lea of the Dolomites, this new model is officially called the Pilgrim GTX Combat FG M the GTX standing for Gore-Tex, the FG denoting it has a full grain leather lacing placket and the M indicates it is mid-height.

The Pilgrim GTX FG Combat M boot is a mid-height suede and textile uppers boot with Gore-Tex lining Over the last month I have been wearing the second of two boot types chosen by the UK MoD, after competitive trials, to fulfil the Boots Combat High Liability (BCHL) requirement for the next five or so years.
