Designed for extended hikes on technical trails, the Aerios FL Mid GTX features Gore-Tex lining.
Here is the lacing detail. There are closed hook loops at the top.
The sole system consists of Vibram Megagrip outsole, compressed EVA midsole and integrated TPU shank.
Available in Taan Forest/Lampyres (the Green one) and Orion/Proteus (the Blue one) in sizes 7-13.
We have you a sneak peek of these Made in USA boots by Danner for Patagonia, during Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 18. And now, right on time, they’re available.
They are made from full-grain leather combined with 1000D nylon and a Vibram Megagrip sole. The leather is treated with a PFC-free saline solution tanning process for improved resistance to breakdown, even in salt water.
Since there are designed to be worn on both land and in water, there are perforated drains on both sides of the boot upper which is coincidentally free from unnecessary foams and backers.
In the photo, you can also see the Aluminum Bar sole model. In all, there are four versions, including felt and sticky rubber sole variants.
The color is Feather Grey. Sizes 5-14.

5.45 Design is a Russian company specializing in soldier systems. Not only do they manufacture clothing, helmets and armor, they also make small arms components. Everything I looked at was made in Russia from brand name materials and not only exhibited high quality, but were also well thought out.
At IWA they concentrated on clothing and helmets, but I wanted to share something that isn’t readily available from other manufacturers; their winter overboot. Insulated with Primaloft, it will take a wearer in a standard boot down to -10 deg C.
The step-in design extends up to the knee.
It features two shock cords at the ankle and one at the top for fit adjustment.
A zipper at the rear makes donning and doffing a simple affair.
On the sole is non slip material.
The boot was originally developed for a customer in Asia who wanted fast and light boot with the maritime sole but a high leg.
LALO showed the prototypes around and there was so much interest they decided to bring it into the line.
Look for it very soon in Black, Coyote and MultiCam in both this 8″ height as well as a 5″ upper.
Salomon is introducing Trade Agreements Act compliance to it’s three versions of the Guardian boot. That means they’ll be easier to procure.
Other than the country of origin, there are no changes to the Guardian. But it’s being joined by the Guardian-Wide with its wider fit. Additionally, there is now also the Guardian CWSP (ClimaSalomon WaterProof) which incorporates a waterproof/breathable lining.
Coyote in color and 8″ tall, the Guardian series conforms to footwear requirements of AR 670-1. They feature the Contragrip outsole and Energy Cell EVA molded midsole.
All three versions of the trade compliant Guardian will be in stock ready to ship mid-February 2019.

The new Atlas is an upgrade of the Bifida and will be available in Atlas, Atlas GTX and Atlas GTX Full Grain.
One change is that they’ve removed the cinch eyelet in the notch. Additionally, it has a new sole which is t as slippery when wet. Finally, the upper and eyelet leather is now one piece.
Don’t worry Bifida fans, it will still be available. Look for the Atlas later this year.
MORRISTOWN, TN – Original Footwear, the leading value-minded tactical footwear manufacturer, is proud to deliver designed and engineered for the next generation elite operators and service professionals – the Alpha Series.
Alpha Fury boots are not your typical line of tactical boots. These boots are equipped with a lightweight, dual density EVA midsole with shock absorption zone for fatigue control.
With the comfort and flexibility of an athletic shoe, the boot still maintains the tried and true reliability and functionality of a diligent tactical boot. Another key element of the Alpha series is our custom molded thermoplastic heel counter and toe box. This helps provide immediate ease and protection. This offers 3 different styles: The Alpha Fury 6-inch, The Alpha Fury 8-inch, and the Alpha Fury 8-inch side zip.
“We are so thrilled to be offering a new series like none before,” said Kevin Cole, Original S.W.A.T. CEO and product developer. “No competing product comes close in terms of features, agility and price. The Alpha boots are built for comfort and performance first. We removed the stitch construction in the forefoot to give you one of the lightest boots on the market while still retaining our known tactical boot protection.
