Verdict: Stylish and robust breathable desert hiking boots
I bought these when they were on sale for using on my adventure motorbike on slow speed, off-road, and warm riding expeditions.The AKU Pilgrim MK2 DS Desert boots are military-style boots designed for use in hot and dry environments, and an updated version of the original AKU Pilgrim DS boots and feature several improvements.
The Pilgrim MK2 DS Desert boots are made with a combination of materials, including a durable and breathable full-grain leather upper and a Vibram sole for good grip on various terrain types. The boots also have a double-density polyurethane midsole that provides excellent shock absorption and stability.
One of the most notable features of the Pilgrim MK2 DS Desert boots is their lightweight design. Compared to other military-style boots, they are much lighter, making them a great choice for long hikes. Despite their light weight, the boots still provide excellent protection from rough terrain and debris, especially if you’re walking on sharp rocks.
Other features of the Pilgrim MK2 DS Desert boots include a high cuff that provides additional ankle support and protection, a removable and washable footbed for added comfort and hygiene, and a breathable lining that keeps feet dry and comfortable in hot and dry conditions.
In my opinion, the AKU Pilgrim boots are a good, high-performance and versatile choice for outdoor enthusiasts, who need a durable and comfortable boot for use in hot and dry environments. They are lightweight, breathable, and packed with features to help you tackle even the most challenging conditions.
