Salomon XA Forces 8 GTX EN

Salomon's central role in the premium outdoor shoe market is undisputed. With the introduction of the new XA Forces 8 GTX EN, the manufacturer defends its pole position regarding innovative, high-performance product development. Whether for training, rapid operations in urban environments, or use by professional tactical forces of NATO-aligned countries: the athletic and lightweight design of the tactical boot impresses with its durability and uncompromising protection of the foot and ankle. Salomon relies on a convincing formula, addressing the specialized needs of tactical units with the high-end algorithms of elite athletes.

Lacing, Fit, and Upper Material

The lightweight boot features an athletic cut and is as breathable as it is reliable, thanks to its main material made from a single-layer, flexible mesh. The quick-lacing system allows for putting on and taking off the boot in seconds. The two closed hooks at the top of the shaft ensure that the shoe can be laced optimally, without the risk of tripping or tangling. The soft material components and padding at the back of the shaft protect the calf and allow for movement without compromising foot stability. The ankle area is also equipped with additional padding for extra protection. The Sensi-Fit construction on the sides provides an optimal fit for the foot without constricting it. This accommodates different foot shapes and ensures a flexible yet stable fit.

The material combination of the tactical boot has been optimized for the best fit and combines various textiles: the outer skeleton of the shoe is shaped with 2 mm thick nubuck leather, which gives the waterproof mesh its form and structure. This proven combination of mesh and nubuck leather ensures optimal performance.
