Helikon-Tex displayed prototypes of a possible expansion into footwear. It’s a natural progression as they add more and more categories to their line. The current models are more focused on the LE amd security sectors than military customers, but if they do get into footwear, I’d expect them to add other models as well.
I’ve been impressed with the amount of new products coming out of Helikon-Tek these past few years. What do you think?

Boots would definitely be a natural extension to their Urban, Outback, Range and Patrol lines. Their previous forays into the boot space don’t seem to have gained much traction though, so I hope this time they nail it.
Personally, I’d like to see them develop a flexible, lightweight boot for training and range use, as well as a robust combat / tactical boot for rugged terrain, and a robust but lightweight boot for use in tropical / jungle zones.
