Top 8 Questions Asked About Salomon Forces

Friday, August 24th, 2018

For 20 years, Salomon has revolutionized the footwear market. Building upon their mountain heritage, the company developed their innovations through experience in hiking, adventure racing, and trail running.  They also bring their iconic fit and performance to Forces, a line dedicated to the specific needs of military, safety and law enforcement professionals.

If you haven’t heard of Salomon, you should look into them, and soon.  From now until Labor Day (Monday, September 3), U.S. Elite is having a Salomon sale, where you’ll find these highly sought after shoes at 25% off. It will also be the last chance to get the exclusive Wolf Grey XA Pro 3D Mid GTX “Sua Sponte” before it becomes extinct. You may have questions before making a purchase, and lucky for you- we’re about to answer the top questions asked about Salomon Forces:

8. Who sells Salomon Forces shoes?

It’s true you can find Salomon footwear at your local outdoor/footwear shop – heck, you can probably even find it on their site. But if you’re looking for some bad-ass Forces, you’ll need to get them right from U.S. Elite. Aside from the exclusive Sua Sponte, U.S. Elite is always deeply stocked, with different models and sizes available. Salomon only allows a select few retailers to sell their tactical Forces line of shoes.

7. Who makes Salomon Forces and what makes them so special?

Salomon Forces originated from The Salomon Group, with its pedigree originating from Annecy, France. Their passion for outdoor sports, along with new technology and craftsmanship, gives them the drive to create progressive gear.  Salomon Forces are made for an elite group of customers, having the specific needs of military and LEOS in mind.

6. Which Salomon shoe should I buy?

Since there are so many great ones, U.S. Elite can recommend for different reasons.

We decided to break this up into categories so we can cover everything:

Everyday use: The XA Forces Mid (2018) or XA Pro 3D Mid GTX both offer comfort, flexibility and support for all-day use.  Both boots are also lightweight, so you won’t feel weighed-down when wearing them.

Shooting / Hunting: This depends on where you are going to be hunting.  If you’re going to be in a hot, dry climate, we’d recommend the Jungle Ultra.  On the other end, the Quest 4D would be better suited for a cooler climate.

OCR / Trail Running: The SpeedCross 4 were designed with trail running (and wider feet) in mind.  Their aggressive soles grip onto loose dirt and gravel, helping you to start off and stop when you want.  With a lining that’s highly breathable and abrasion resistant, these shoes deal with mud and puddles with zero issue.

CQC / CQB: The Speed Assault has the best of both worlds.  They include an aggressive grip like the SpeedCross 4, but have more ankle support and protection, more closely resembling what a mid-sized shoe would have.

Uniform Use: The Guardian is based off the Jungle Ultras, but are designed to meet the requirements of AR-670-1, which means you’re getting tried-and-true Salomon performance.

5. How do Salomon shoes fit?

From narrowest to widest, it would be:

Jungle Ultra / Urban Jungle Ultra

Guardian

XA Forces Mid

Quest 4D

SpeedCross 4

4. How should I wash Salomon shoes?

The best way to get your boots like-new again is to use a wet brush or cloth, and pairing that with a product like Nikwax will help maintain, condition and deodorize your boots.

3. How do I tie Salomon shoes?

One of the trademarks of Salomon Forces is the Quicklace system.  It cinches up fast and keeps your boots on your feet.  Just pull the lace tab up, slide the toggle lock until you’ve got the desired fit, then secure the excess length inside the lace garage, found on the tongue of the shoe. The system ensures a secure, comfortable fit, and is much less likely to snag on something than traditional laces.  If they do break, replacements are available.  You can also check out this video which is a guide to replacing the Quicklace, featuring Hugh from AmerSports.

2. Can I machine wash Salomon shoes?

Although you can machine wash pretty much anything, we don’t recommend doing this with your boots.  Check back to number 4- how to wash Salomon shoes for the best way to get them clean again.

1. Are Salomon shoes good?

Short answer – yes.  Soldiers and professionals need dedicated equipment to operate in hostile environments, beginning with footwear. In addition to year-round comfort, outstanding traction in changing terrain, footwear for military and law enforcement must be stable, durable enough for intense conditions, and provide complete weather protection.

NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits Named Nation’s Fastest-Growing Association Show

Friday, August 24th, 2018

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Trade Show News Network has recognized the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits as 2018’s Fastest Growing Association Show in the U.S., presenting the honor at the TSNN Awards Aug. 11 in Louisville, Kentucky.

Coming on the heels of the largest NRA Annual Meetings in history last May in Dallas, the event, already named amongst TSNN’s Top 25 Fastest-Growing Shows in the country, earned the top spot from amongst hundreds of association shows annually.

Unusual for a 70 year old show from a 147 year old organization to garner such an award over organizations representing new, developing industries, Jeff Poole, NRA’s Director of Shows and Exhibits, said the award “demonstrates the vitality of the NRA and the firearms industry.”

Poole added, “This award is proof that NRA is in tune with its membership, true to its mission and delivering the content our members want.”

The 147th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, held May 3-6, 2018 in Dallas, welcomed a record attendance of 87,154 patriots to explore more than 800 exhibitors, workshops, seminars and entertainment events in the biggest Annual Meetings to date. This year’s landmark event also marked the first time in NRA history that both a sitting President and Vice President of the United States attended and addressed NRA Members.

The 148th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits is scheduled for April 25-28, 2019, in Indianapolis. To learn more about the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, visit https://www.nraam.org
