Aku gear reviews

So far, our experience of AKU footwear has been one of impeccable build quality and a premium Italian feel which transports you in mind if not body to the majestic Alps, and the Tengu Lite GTX on test embodies this spirit.

If you're bored of the same old hiking style then the super funky Aku Alterra GTX on review may offer a new path to the top.

A full stiffened, B3 winter boot, the AKU Serai GTX we tested are ideal for serious mountaineers and ice climbers looking for comfort, warmth and performance in equal measure.

Despite its rather bulky appearance, the Aku Alterra GTX feels more like a beefy trainer than a big boot. The fit is excellent, the inner sock and lacing are comfortable and it offers great performance on the hill.

The leather lined Aku La Val Low Plus is made for low level walks along unchallenging terrain, we see how it gets on in just that environment.
