Description

AKU Griffon Combat GTX – Cold-Weather Military Boots

The AKU Griffon Combat GTX is engineered for armed forces—perfect for combat and patrol in cold, wet conditions. Despite a robust build with minimal seams and water-repellent, tear-resistant smooth leather, the boot remains lightweight (860 g per ½ pair) and comfortable for all-day wear. A padded collar, ankle support and adjustable lacing system ensure a secure fit for rucking, long marches and mountain work under heavy loads. The GORE-TEX® Insulated Comfort lining keeps feet warm, dry and protected. The DAVOS Ranger outsole—an anti-static nitrile compound, heat & P.O.L. (petrol/oil/lubricant) resistant—stays grippy and flexible even at very low temperatures, preventing hardening and slip loss.

Aim of the Product

Built to deliver warmth, waterproofing, durability and traction for military operators in harsh, cold-wet environments—without sacrificing lightness or day-long comfort.
