Kit Pest is a dedicated team of serving and ex-serving men and women dedicated to making military life a more positive experience. It is no wonder the British army has adapted this boot to their use and that their elite forces have been using these for years now for the toughest missions.

Occupational footwear (no toe protection), Certificate according to standard EN ISO 20347:2012 – O1 – P – HI – CI – AN – HRO – FO – WR – SRA. And if I am not completely mistaken, the Pilgrim is a model that was designed and made first solely for Trekkitt! The boots felt really good on my feet straight and this is no doubt due to the IMS system and the amazing insoles.My feet tend to sweat quite a bit and boots that do not breathe well tend to be very uncomfortable for me after a while. After I got to hold a pair of similar AKU’s as the pilgrims at the TAD Dogpatch Warehouse a few years back I was sold. It is combined with a midsole in a microporous EVA and provides maximum sensitivity, precision and reaction to uneven terrains.

Below the IMS midsole is a thicker layer of 5mm (under the forefoot) and 17mm (under the heel) high-density EVA which absorbs impact forces from the ground. A wrap-around and anatomical fit for footwear in the Trekking segment, designed to provide stability and encourage a dynamic action when walking on mountain trails over very rough terrain. But the Pilgrims are not horrible to run in either, and the weight is not so bad as to make your feet tired even after a long walk. The team hold extensive knowledge about military life and their aim is to share their collective knowledge with the masses.Offers moderate insulation to keep feet dry and comfortable during outdoor activities in a variety of weather conditions. Its sleek and stylish black design exudes a professional and tactical look, suitable for any mission or adventure. So even if this review is about the earlier version of the boots, all the information is still quite viable when considering the newer version. Right away they were very soft and comfortable, with the exception of the ankle collar which was very stiff, and will need wearing in. AKU's Insoles combined with their innovative midsoles allow for the comfort of training shoes with the low profile of a pair of barefoot trainers meaning that they extremely comfortable whilst allowing a positive feel of the terrain the user is operating on.
