AKU Pilgrim GTX Boots – Genuine British Army Issue (Brown)
Vibram® Sole | GORE-TEX® Waterproof | High-Breathability AIR 8000®
The Multi-Terrain Masterpiece
The AKU Pilgrim GTX is a legend in the world of tactical footwear. Originally selected as a private-purchase favorite by elite units before becoming official British Army issue, these boots are designed for high-intensity activity in diverse environments.
Whether you are traversing rugged mountain trails, damp woodland, or desert plains, the Pilgrim GTX offers the perfect balance between the support of a heavy combat boot and the lightweight agility of a trekking shoe. Sourced as Genuine Used Surplus, these boots offer professional-grade Italian engineering at a fraction of the RRP.
Key Features & Technical Specs
-
GORE-TEX® Performance Comfort: A full waterproof and breathable lining that ensures your feet stay dry in the rain while allowing sweat to escape during high exertion.
-
AIR 8000® Upper: AKU’s proprietary upper fabric is up to 11 times more breathable than standard synthetic materials, making these boots exceptionally comfortable in warmer climates.
-
Vibram® Foura PU Outsole: Features deep lugs for maximum traction on mud, rock, and loose scree, combined with a built-in "climbing zone" at the toe.
-
IMS (Internal Midsole System): Anatomically designed to reduce impact and prevent the foot from sliding inside the boot, significantly reducing the risk of blisters.
-
Medium Stiff Lasting Board: Provides the necessary ankle support for carrying heavy bergens/rucksacks without feeling like a rigid "ski boot."
-
Lightweight Performance: At just 600g per boot, they reduce leg fatigue during long-distance marches or all-day hikes.
Technical Breakdown:
-
Upper: 1.8mm Suede / AIR 8000®
-
Midsole: Die-cut EVA for superior cushioning.
-
Footbed: Custom CF IMS for all-day ergonomic comfort.
-
Colour: British Army Regulation Brown.
Condition Note: Used Surplus
These boots are genuine British Military issue and have seen service in the field.
-
Quality Check: We inspect all used boots for structural integrity. Expect typical signs of use, including scuffs to the suede, minor wear to the tread, and "broken-in" character.
-
Longevity: Built to military specs, these boots are incredibly durable. The Vibram soles are designed for hundreds of miles of use.
-
Pro-Tip: As these are suede, we recommend a quick brush and a treatment with a quality waterproof spray to maintain the GORE-TEX performance.
Ideal For:
-
Serving Personnel: A reliable, high-spec replacement for issued kit.
-
Hikers & Trekkers: Professional Italian-made boots at surplus prices.
-
Bushcraft & Hunting: Stealthy, quiet, and comfortable for long days on your feet in the wild.
