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.

Best Slopes

Was in the market for a new quality hiking/backpacking/field boot and was tired of poor thought out boots manufactured with cheap components and textiles. Stumbled upon Aku after some research and I don’t think I will choose another boot company. Being in the military Lowa has been a standard, in my field, and lemme tell ya my standard has changed.
I understand these aren’t designed for “tactical” sake but these have met the criteria of a good looking and functional field boot that can be utilized in civilian and environments, as they were intended.
Great quality and amazing protection and support. Will be purchasing more in the future and will recommend to all.
