AKU-USA Granite Backpacking Boots (For Women)

feel good,look good,light

My feet are always cold but not with these boots. The tread is amazing as well. Been through -9 degree weather and 16" of snow, it was like walking on clouds. I hope to keep them forever.

I was skeptical about ordering these boots at this incredible price and the other reviews indicated that they ran small so I ordered a half size larger. They are great, feel broken in already and have been very useful in all of this snow that we are experiencing right now! Great value too!

I bought the shoes a half size larger as recommended by Sierra. They felt a half size larger, and I was thinking, that once again, I am going to have to return the boots and listen to a lecture about how you really cannot buy shoes unless you try them on... well I have flat feet, so I inserted my orthotics and lo and behold, the shoe feels great, fits well and looks wonderful. Nothing like Italian leather (crafted in Romania). I love the vibram soles. This is a great buy. I wear them to work everyday. The leather was a little stiff on the outset (especially around the ankles), but its already comfortable after a week of wear.

I bought this pair of shoes for both hiking and backpacking. However, I found they were too heavy and stiff for that. The probelm is their vibram outsoles. I guess these shoes might be more suitable for trekking or tougher exercises. I like the look though, comprises of high quality leather and classic design. Sorry I had to return them.
