Selvatica Tactical Mid GTX

These boots have proved to be an all around great boot for diverse activities. I am a current serving member of a military organization and out of all the boots I have used these work for me. They are good for running, marching around with weight and are overall very comfortable. You may have different opinions however they are comfortable.

Tag says made in Vietnam and I was expecting Italian shoes based on the price. I hiked a steep grade on a off trail mountain in Ruidoso and back down and around jumping over fallen pine trees and they required no break in. Not sure if I want to do a thru hike with them yet. Time will tell

These boots are light, comfortable, warm and breathable. The Vibram sole grips on everything. Perfect for wood and city tasking. I'm 80% surround by salt water diving, boating wouldn’t recommend for this application. Do not buy for the office! LOL Looking forward to a new pair of boots from you guys! Cheers and be safe!

Been wearing AKUs for years now. Really liking the Selvaticas as they are lighter and much better suited for the lighter loads I am running.

I used to wear salomons in size 13 and it was like their products were custom made for my foot until they got bought out and has all changed, in quality and fit.
Decided I wanted to go for a new brand and have heard/seen nothing but good things about AKU, and the selvatica tacticals are basically AKU's Ferrari. Well, it all turns out to be true. Solid build, light, waterproof, look wicked, and rugged. I live in eastern Canada where our terrain is wet and rocky with tons of underbrush. I have no concerns having these on my feet in regards to these boots surviving anything I have and will put them through.

The issue i have with them however is sizing. At first I ordered the size 13 as I normally do, and they felt like I was a kid again putting my dad's shoes on for a second to go outside. I exchanged them (at no cost to me!) And got the size 12. I havent worn a size 12 anything since I was probably 16 years old. But that's no big deal, I put them on and the length fits nearly perfectly, but my toes are considerably squished. It is noticeable the very second you lace up as well, not something you notice later in the day once your feet have swollen up a bit. And no, I do not have hams for feet. Very average foot profile. Ive had these now for the better part of a year, and they havent stretched out or molded to my foot or anything like that, which honestly is a good thing, as it shows these boots are solid and they stay solid, instead of becoming flimsy and plyable. But this becomes a problem when you spend a long day trekking, and you need to take them off just to stretch your toes back out.

It would be nice if they had wide sizes to choose from, or to adjust the toebox to solve this problem. But to be fair, I believe with most tactical lineups, they try to trim as much fat off the boot as possible to reduce weight and to dampen sound profiles.

Like I said, these are the Ferrari's of lightweight trekking/tactical waterproof boots, but it's the fit that make these a 4/5 for me. I hope by the time I chew these up and need a new pair, AKU will change the toebox or offer a wide size. I just don't know when that will happen, because all it takes is walking through a puddle and they look almost brand new. I will likely run out of tread before I pull a seam or tear a hole.

If you have a bit of a narrow foot, don't bother looking at anything else. The price is more than worth it.

Direct fit for my foot highly recommend these boots 🥾 SUPER COMFORTABLE.

I have been wearing these for a year now and they have stood many challenges and are still comfortable. Would highly recommend

Selvatica Tactical Mid GTX is a great work boot. very comfortable even after working a long day on my feet,up and down ladders. will definitely becoming back to AKU for my next Boot purchase.

The fit is nice, a bit narrow near the toes so my pinky toes tend to rub a bit if I’m going down hill or moving quickly. I’m in a hot and humid climate so the gortex doesn’t really allow much breathing but I do enjoy the waterproofing. Comfy and light and have no problem being in them all day.

I work in a jail with cement floors and 12 hr shifts, I have spent a good part of my 8 years trying to find a boot that would be able to handle the day to day walking and activities of my job. I have spent hundreds of dollars and have numerous hours searching for boots to wear that would last more then a few months.In my 32 years both as a Road Officer and In Corrections, plus several SWAT Teams and other position in law enforcement. These boots have no equal, I have worn Danner, Under Armor, Nike, 511, Xepti, High Tech, Merrell, Rocky, Adidas, Swat, Reebok, Columbia, Keen, Blauer, Bates, Viktos,and so many more. These boots surpass all of those brands in comfort, wear, quality, durability, Design, these boots are second to none worth every penny. I just wish I had found them sooner. My reason for this deep respect for the quality of these boots is simple, as I am in my mid 60s my feet are no longer my friends anymore and between ankle issues and Plantar Fasciitis my feet have taken a beating. So to find boots that can maintain their shape and deliver on comfort and durability is a tall order. That being said these boots do deliver and they are my go to boots I own 2 pair. I use them for hiking, biking and my daily activities. Simply put they are worth what I paid for them and I would highly recommend them. 10 Stars

Selvatica Tactical Mid GTX

Opened the box and snipped the tags off. Took them on 5kms hike of asphalt and concrete. Comfortable right out of the box!
No hotspots, feet stayed in place and a joy to wear.

great boot. light and fast.

Excellent product. High quality materials and perfect size

Fantastic product. Super comfortable. Great support. The best shoes I own. The treads have strong stick to the ground. Lace up easily. Highly recommend! Thank you Aku

I've used this boot for law enforcement type work. And used it since 2021. No signs of wear from creases, only the heel from putting them on. Goretex still keep my feet dry. Fit a little narrow, but once broken in, they are awesome! Highly recommend.

Love the style and functionality. Although the string could be something better

This is my second pair and I love them great support when walking and very comfortable

Hii … boots are excellent, comfortable and sturdy … only issue which I want to highlight is that the shoeless is not in new condition

dope boots but 2 blk and 1 coyote on sale would have bought the green but didnt have my size. over all great boot but breathability is limited so the spyder is better if getting hotter which is accurate to their rating system just something to consider. the only flaw is the lace "strap" on the boot will tear eventually as its exposed and weak material but the rings will hold up so if aku is reading this please improve the lace "females" because they tear before theres any wear on the the tread and ive done many miles

Great shoes and really nice to wear it 

Awesome boots. Lightweight, super comfortable, and durable.

I HAVE 3 PAIRS OF THIS BOOTS AND I'M VERY HAPPY TO WEAR THIS BOOTS EVERYDAY. IT IS VERY COMPORTABLE, LIGHT AND NICE GRIP. VERY RECOMENDED THIS BOOTS.

Enjoy the boots so far. Supper light and comfortable. Not sure what others were talking about were the width and the toe being narrow. They fit as they should. I may have been able to order a half size smaller. Wish there was some were to tuck the laces when laced up. As for durability I can’t say because I’ve only had them for a month. Also the reason for only a 4star. Most likely could have been 5. I recommend these boots to others for sure.

Confortables, légères, ellles offrent une bonne protection tout en étant très souples. Bonne impulsion si on a besoin de courrir un peu. Excellent qualité des matériaux. Je n'ai plus mal au dos depuis que je les portes tous les jours.

Feels like comfortable running shoes but with more support and outsole has a lot of grip!! Very happy again with another pair of AKU.

Great for heavy rucks, break in was a 20km with 80lbs, no blisters with darn tough socks. Amazing ankle support, light weight.

Great fit, right out of the box!! No sore/hot spots!! Will repurchase!!
