XA Forces MID WIDE EN
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 WIDE EN features a wider last and impresses with its athletic design, light weight, grip and versatility.
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. This WIDE Version has a last with an additional width of 6 mm in the instep area to provide enhanced comfort for wider feet. 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 WIDE EN is a lightweight and versatile boot for all conditions, designed to allow rapid responses in critical situations.
The XA Forces MID WIDE EN is 6mm wider than the normal version XA Forces MID EN.
