The Forces 8’’ GTX EN is an adapted version of the XA Forces line. Special forces will appreciate the uncompromising dynamics and versatility of this lightweight, athletic high tactical boot. It combines the ease of walking and comfort of a running shoe with the support and protection of a tactical boot.
The tactical boot officially meets the test standards of ISO 20347:2012 and the associated standards for anti-puncture, anti-static properties and for slip resistance.
The 8 inch (20.32 cm) shaft is subjected to additional forces, such as movements of the wearer’s body or external influences. Cushioning, additional protection in the ankle area and a soft collar lining material have been incorporated to ensure comfortable wear. The entire upper consists of a non-reflective material mix of anti-debris mesh, full grain leather and single-layer mesh. The underlying GORE-TEX membrane makes the boot an ideal companion in all kinds of weather. The 3D rubber toe cap protects the foot from shocks and ensures high comfort in pathless terrain. The SensiFit system cradles the foot from the midsole to the classic lacing system with closed hooks to create a secure, precise and almost customized fit. The inside of the boot is reinforced with an additional material to support climbing and fast rappelling.
The performance and stability of the sole construction play a crucial role in the field. In combination, the Contagrip MA outsole, 3D Advanced Chassis, anti-puncture Enigma Zero HT2 insert and anti-static technology provide an optimum response to all requirements. An OrthoLite inlay sole ensures a comfortable fit and additional damping in the boot, while perforations in the sole support a pleasant foot climate.
The XA FORCES 8” GTX EN is a lightweight, athletic and modern boot that will make operations in the harshest environments feel like a walk in the park.
