Bought these in August 2020. Used for less than 10 hours on paved paths and already the sole has started to wear down. The heel had a dark rubber compound but that has worn away in parts to a soft light grey compound underneath. I can press the places and it feels as if it's an air pocket not solid. I can't see these lasting another 10 hours before they have worn through.
I have contacted Aku but no response .
I have two other pairs of made in Italy Aku's that have Michelin soles. They have lasted a few years.
I had a pair of Selvaticas that were so uncomfortable I had to send them back. Both pairs of Italian boots are fantastic.
The Alteras and Selvaticas were not made in Italy but the far east and I think they suffer from poor materials. Won't buy another pair unless made in Italy.

Lovely boot, pity about the sole
No, I would not recommend this product to a friend
Hey Rukia,
the fit is rather wide. As with all hiking shoes, we recommend choosing at least one size bigger than your street shoes.
Best regards,
Max
