Salomon, XA Forces MID GTX EN

Kuvaus

Designed for precise, fast and agile police or military operations. Inspired by possibly Salomon’s most famous trail running shoe, the XA Pro 3D. The ISO-certified XA FORCES MID EN impresses with its aesthetics, light weight and grip, making it a versatile 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 upper material needs to be hard-wearing, robust and very flexible. To meet these requirements, a non-reflective material mix of anti-debris mesh, full grain leather and single-layer mesh has been selected. 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 Quicklace fast-lacing system to provide 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 MID EN is a lightweight and versatile boot for all conditions, designed to allow rapid resonses in critical situations.

TECHNOLOGIES / MATERIAL

• GORE-TEX Membrane: Gore-Tex TOF Membrane (Technical Oriented Fabric) Footwear for Professionals
• Anti-debris Mesh: Tight mesh that prevents debris from being trapped between your foot and the footbed.
• Single layer Mesh: A single layer of Mesh, close to the foot, for maximum feel.
• Nubuck Leather:  Cow Nubuck Leather of 2.0mm thickness. Quality full-grain leather material for longer wear and durability.
• Water Repellent: A special treatment is applied to provide extra protection, ensuring that the fabric does not absorb water during light rain and showers.
• Non-reflective materials: Built to be discrete and non-reflective for Tactical use.
• Closed hooks: For tactical use, these closed hooks reduce the risk of snags from ropes, etc.
• Lace Pocket: Tuck the excess lace and the buckle up inside the pocket on the tongue of the shoe.
• Quicklace Laces:  Minimalistic and strong lace for one-pull tightening. Easy-on, easy-off.
• SensiFIT^: Cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug and virtually customized ï¬Ât all around the foot.
• Gusseted Tongue: The tongue is connected to the upper on both sides, preventing debris from entering the shoe, and keeping the tongue centered.
• Medial Protective Pad:  A durable, cushioned pad across the medial side of the instep for protection and increased wear.
• Protective Toecap:  3D Toecap construction
• Protective mudguard:  A wrap of leather, synthetic or rubber around the base of the foot that protects the lateral and medial sides of the foot.
• 3D Chassis:  Placed between the outsole and midsole, this low-profile chassis helps optimize motion control and energy management. It also provides extra protection for a precise, stable and responsive ride.
• Dual Density Midsole: Combining foams with two different densities, this midsole provides superior cushioning, stability, and motion control.
• Energy Cell: A high performance EVA foam that provides shock attenuation (55C)
• ENIGMA ZERO HT2 Anti Puncture Insert: Woven, 3.9mm thickness and non-metallic. A layer of puncture-resistant material added to the outsole prevents sharp objects from penetrating the bottom of the shoe.
• OrthoLite Insole: Ortholite insoles provide step-in comfort and enhanced durability, breathability, moisture and odor control using a combination of special PU and rubber
• Contagrip MA Outsole: Contagrip MA is built for the widest variety of surfaces. It balances both the geometry and the rubber compound to deliver confidence on wet, dry, hard or loose surfaces, and offer long-term durability
• Anti Static: The EU standard stipulates that antistatic footwear should be worn to prevent electrostatic build-up and ensure it is discharged effectively.

XA Forces MID GTX EN perustuu Salomonin ikoniseen XA Pro 3D -polkujuoksukenkään. Tämä kenkä on suunniteltu ammattilaiskäyttöön. Lisäsuojana vedenpitävä GORE-TEX-kalvo, joka pidentää käyttöikää vaativissa, kosteissa olosuhteissa. Valmistuksessa on käytetty PFAS-kemikaaleja. EN tarkoittaa sitä, että kengät ovat antistaattiset, pistonkestävät sekä luistamattomat.
