Salomon XA FORCES 8" GTX EN

Salomon's central role in the area of ​​premium outdoor shoes is undisputed - and with the introduction of the new But when used by the professional tactical forces of NATO-friendly states: The athletic and lightweight design of the operational boot impresses with its durability and uncompromising protection for the foot and ankle. Salomon relies on a convincing formula here, namely the specialized requirements of tactical units to meet the high-end algorithms of top athletes.

Lacing, fit and upper material

The lightweight boot has an athletic cut and is both breathable and reliable thanks to the main material made from a single-layer, flexible mesh. The quick lacing system makes it possible to put them on and take them off in seconds. The two closed hooks at the top of the shaft ensure that the shoe can be tied optimally without creating a risk of tripping or tangling.

The soft material and padding on the back of the shaft protect the calf and accommodate movements without sacrificing foot stabilization. The ankle area is also equipped with additional padding for extra protection. The Sensi-Fit construction on the outside gives the foot an optimal fit without restricting it. This takes different foot shapes into account and ensures a flexible yet stable fit.

The material combination of the tactical boot was optimized for the best fit and various textiles were combined: The exoskeleton of the shoe is formed with a 2mm thick nubuck leather, which gives the waterproof mesh its shape and structure. This proven combination of mesh and leather ensures breathability and waterproofing with an uncompromising fit.

Insole and outsole

Long periods of use cause the foot to tire and therefore sink. To prevent long-term damage to the foot's musculoskeletal system, an anatomically shaped OrthoLite insole ensures natural stress and therefore the best possible relief. The midsole is a dual density midsole made of energy cell foam, which provides optimal suspension and shock absorption. The outsole consists of a highly resilient 3D chassis, which, thanks to its Anti Puncture Enigma Zero HT2 structure, works without any problems even in environments heavy with rubble or shards. The Contragrip sole also ensures that the combat boots are non-slip and do not lose their grip, even when the ground is wet. As with all tactical boots, the front toe area is reinforced and protected against impacts.
