In 2020, Salomon dedicated itself to a special tactical guideline and released the Salomon XA Forces MID EN in accordance with the ISO 20347:2012 standard. This launched a shoe for tactical and military operations that is puncture-proof, oil- and slip-resistant. Reliable even in difficult situations and with extra grip and increased versatility even in difficult terrain, the Salomon XA Forces MID EN has become even safer for authorities and security forces. Dynamic, fast and agile movements are no problem thanks to the well-adhesive and coarse-profile Contagrip® MD outsole. Long marches and difficult missions are cushioned by the combination of midsole and insole. The midsole is filled with EVA energy cell foam that cushions steps and impacts. The OrthoLite® insole inside complements this function and, in addition to its cushioning properties, is also breathable. The insole is shaped according to the foot profile, so that the shoe is always held in place and an anatomically optimal stance is promoted. The upper material of the tactical boots consists of two different materials, which on the one hand ensure robust durability and on the other hand support flexibility and breathability: anti-debris mesh and PU-coated leather complement each other here. A reinforced toe cap protects the most sensitive part of the shoe and foot and provides a secure toe against shocks or impacts. Above all, its versatility, but also the standard-compliant construction in the area of slip resistance, makes the Salomon XA Forces MID a popular operational boot for the police, military and security authorities.
