[@crypticreality8484]

I have the Slopes and Pilgrims. The Pilgrim is a stiffer boot for sure. The Slope is more plush and comfy. A classic hiker boot (The Italian made Slope) that's comfort and then durability oriented vs a multi purpose/combat boot (The Romanian made Pilgrim) that's durability and then comfort oriented. For mellow hikes and chilling around camp while loading the campfire up with logs, I prefer the slope. If I were to volunteer for combat duty or tactical work, the more stiff and sturdy Pilgrim seems a better choice. In any case, AKU is a solid choice

I currently have the Pilgrims. Is sizing on the Slopes about the same? There’s no local Aku dealers so it’s all online for me.

Stuart......Brilliant video, a lot of people forget about there feet, super dooper jacket's, rucksacks, knifes, tents, etc etc.....but if your feet are compromised (wet&cold) really doesn't matter how much you spend on all the rest of your gear.....its going to be a bad day. Cheers bud....👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍺🍺🍺

Good boots are absolutely essential bro 🤙

do we know EXACTLY what model? thanx im sold just theres sooo many . thanks well made video and no waffle.

Hanwag Tatra II with a pair of better (more cushioned) insoles, are the best boots I've walked in! They kind of stiff at first, but they feel like you ride on the best Mercedes car out there after the breal in period!! I've never felt so secure, so stable, yet comfortable on any other boot. If God allows a bit more time to prepare better, then my next perchuse, will be the AKU Slope. Thanks for the feedback!

Nice vid! Considering a pair for sure

[@yosserg9389]

Five years! Mate that is money well spent. Shame they don’t do safety boots, I’m getting about a year on site for about £80.

[@JohnRowe-h1i]

hi they look like really good boots. How do the preform at keeping your feet dry in wet muddy conditions? Any thoughts and advice welcome. Thanks John

[@thomascrook8757]

Excellent vid as always pal wish I saw this before I bought a pair of pilgrims but the pilgrims are still great boots having a few issues but hoping they will fade once I get them properly broke in also super gutted I missed out on one of those outback packs packs they’ve gone under now sadly but I’m still jealous everytime I see yours have a great weekend pal

[@outdoorbasics2562]

The pilgrims are top boots also mate I hope they walk in for you I am gutted they went out of business mate I would have liked some more of there kit but I am glad I got the Alice pack 🤙

[@thomascrook8757]

@@outdoorbasics2562 thanks me too, I know there selling the whole business so hopefully someone out there may buy the company and start production again I’ve been very impressed with Australian packs and gear lately crossfire and platatac to name a few

[@journeyman7189]

[@outdoorbasics2562]

The AKU cream I got seems the business I bet they would still be going strong if I had used it originally 🤙

[@preseveretoconquer]

How have you sealed the ends of the paracord laces? Just melt them or did you have some kind of cap for them?

[@adamandy384]

Do you recommend these boots for everyday use city and all terrain, and some hiking sometimes

[@paulmarren7970]

who in the uk sells these? they all appear to be in europe?
