I received my pair of Trekkers in Spring of 2021. I have since taken them for adventures on trails in both my home state of Vermont and also in New Hampshire. While I feel that the boots and I are still in the "getting to know you" phase, I must say that I am pretty impressed. My feet have no issue telling me when they don't like a pair of shoes or boots. Blisters used to be a constant struggle and I found myself turning towards lighter weight footwear. With some longer hikes in the rugged White Mountains on the agenda for this year though, I felt it was time to try a more sturdy boot. Enter the AKU Trekkers. I find if I take the time to lace them up correctly, they don't move around much on my feet. I always retie my boots along the hike as well because sometimes they loosen a bit. But I think that this is the start of a beautiful friendship between my feet and the Trekkers. I see many happy adventures in the future. :)

Love the boots - nice and stiff but comfy and definitely protective if you're stomping through bush - haven't had any punctures from sticks and sharp stumps. they can be a little bit of a sloppy fit if you don't have the laces done properly - I backward lace the transition hooks and double down the top hook to keep them tight. My only "complaint" is I wish they were 1-2 inches taller. Looks like they will also work with snowshoes.

I received my pair of Trekker Pro boots in mid 2019 and have been trekking with them since then. I have had many pairs of boots in the past since I am a founder of a trekking social enterprise and lead treks all over the world but Trekker Pro beats all of them when it comes to comfort and performance. I have led treks in the Andes of Peru, Patagonia in Chile and Argentina and now in Mongolia where I am currently adventuring during the pandemic. It has truly been my go to boots. I never had any pain or blisters from using them. I love the stability and protection it provides on rocky terrain such as the time I trekked in Patagonia for 9 days or more. I've had moments when I almost sustained a twisted ankle but thanks to the built in support of these boots, I was able to avoid an injury on the trail. It's also perfect for cold weather, high altitude treks as they keep me warm. I have a host of hard core adventures in mind for the future and these boots are definitely joining me every step of the way.
