About this product
The AKU Tribute II LTR is a men's leather hiking boot crafted in Italy, suited for light hiking across hilly and mid-mountain terrain in all seasons. Construction relies on an injection-molded sole-to-upper system that keeps the boot flexible and lightweight while maintaining solid durability. The upper is full-grain leather sourced from Italian tanneries, chosen for its long-term resilience and classic aesthetic. Inside, a fine full-grain leather lining conforms closely to the foot's shape, contributing to the boot's strong breathability rating. The footbed is a removable EVA insole, sitting above an injected polyurethane midsole that delivers reliable cushioning underfoot. Traction comes from a Vibram Sendera outsole, a well-regarded rubber compound for varied trail surfaces. Available in brown, the Tribute II LTR (model 138.1) balances traditional craftsmanship with practical performance, earning solid marks for both durability and breathability across a range of outdoor conditions.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the AKU Men's Tribute II LTR for its exceptional out-of-the-box comfort, crediting the rare full-grain leather liner for a soft, breathable feel that molds to the foot with minimal break-in time. The Vibram Sendera outsole earns strong marks for grip on varied terrain, and the boot's relatively light weight for a leather hiking boot is frequently highlighted as a standout quality. Italian craftsmanship and classic styling also draw admiration. The most recurring criticism centers on sole durability, with some users reporting sole delamination or premature wear even while the leather uppers remain in good condition. A few users also note the stock footbed can feel lacking, recommending aftermarket insoles, and the boot is not resole-able, which concerns buyers seeking long-term value.
