AKU-USA Bosco Hiking Boots (For Men)
 
INTERESTING EXCELLENT BOOT
By MDC from SLCVerified Reviewer from Salt Lake City, UT on 07/04/2009
Pros:
Ankle Support, Arch Support, Lightweight, Sturdy/Durable
Best Uses:
Day Hiking, Harsh Terrain, Light Loads, Warm weather
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer, Casual/Recreational
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
This boot is similar if not identical to a boot AKU developed for the U.S. Navy Seals, except for the color which was all gray. I see this boot as multi- terrain with an emphasis on rocky terrain, sort of a high top approach shoe, but the shoe is actually quite good for anything short of backpacking with heavy loads. I imagine these boots would be good in the rocky deserts of Utah and the Southwest. The only weakness is they are a little slippery in wet conditions and not the best tread for snowy conditions, and I don't know if you could waterproof them, but this is a summer boot anyway in my opinion. I could see this boot being used as a mountaineering boot in rocky but dry conditions. All in all a very light weight boot that's well made and comfortable with a snug fit like an approach shoe. I bought my usual size, but have worn a slightly lighter weight sock than usual and the shoe is still very comfortable. An excellent boot and very unique.

Treads Catch on Rocks
Best Uses:

Avid Hiker

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
I used these boots on a trip to Kauai in anticipation of slippery conditions and they didn't disappoint. The treads are deep so they grip well in wet conditions. Ankle support is great without feeling overly cumbersome. There's virtually no break-in time so you can use them straight out of the box. Waterproofing works perfectly, they're nice and light, and they grip well - it's hard to find something bad to say about them. The only slight problem I found was that they can be a bit slippery when crossing streams (which is to be expected) and if you're climbing around on rocks the deep treads can catch sometimes. These are great boots and I am very pleased with them.

Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Gear Usage:

Comments:
I just used these boots for the first time on Mt. Shasta. Yes, I did not even break them in. I thought they might be too rigid for simple trail hiking but they were comfortable. On the snow and ice, they were cozy, warm, and watertight. They were fine with crampon usage. Overall a great mountaineering boot. And I got compliments about the blue color.
