Great boots

Havent been able to go hikking in them, i live in Costa Rica and just picked my boots a week ago. They llok and fit great. Quality feels top notch. Im a 12 in Basketball shoes, 12.5 in running shoes and 11 in Redwing Iron Rangers. Ordered a 12 and I think they fit fine.

Not yet

The boots look OK, but I won’t be using them for a few months. Just bought them because they were on sale and the tariffs were going to start.

Excellent boot

I bought these to walk the Shikoku pilgrimage and have worn them now for about a month as I prepare, wearing a pack and walking in all sorts of inclement weather. They have exceeded my expectations. Fit and comfort out of the box was perfect- no surprise as this has been true of every AKU shoe I have had- a dozen pair or so. No break- in necessary. They look low-tech, but the design makes them easy to slip on and the Gore-Tex effectively makes a bag around your foot and works better than any shoe I have ever worn to keep water out. The sole works on ice and snow exceptionally well. It shows no wear after more than 150 miles. The midsole and footbed have more support and cushion than the approach shoes- Rock and Rocket- I typically wear, and comfortably manage the additional weight of a light pack of fifteen pounds. So I feel confident of the choice I have made. The Slope GTX may look old -fashioned, but they are high performance. I will write another review in a few months when I return home.
