KS Schwer 14 GTX

So far I’ve had the boots a little over a week. The boots are extremely comfortable right out of the box! Wish I would have ordered these a long time ago. They are going to be a great addition for my alpine hunting trips. Have already recommended them to friends and family. Thank you for making such a great boot

This is my second pair of boots made by Aku. With cleaning and good care, my last pair are now 15 years old.
The last pair will be my day hikers, and this will be my pair for extended backpacking or mountain climbing. The fit is good and I am excited to get them broken in properly.

I’ve already reviewed the KS Schwer 14 boots in the past, so I’ll just touch on the differences with the new KS Schwer 19. The entire boot is now a nice medium brown. The lace lock is completely different, it’s a clamp style lock which seems more secure than the old pinch lace hook. Only downside is the base of the lace lock is plastic, which gives me a little concern in cold weather. Same great fit as the original, and same perfect moderate sole flex. Not as stiff as a Lowa Tibet, but pretty similar to a Hanwag Alaska. Weight is 1990 grams for a size 9 US, which is a little heavy, but not bad for an insulated mountain boot. Can’t wait to use them this fall!
