Salomon FORCES displayed their new models of popular tactical footwear. I chose two for sharing.
The X Ultra MID GTX FORCES is heavily based on Salomon’s best selling consumer mid hiking boots. For tactical customers, they increased the durability of the construction on the upper and added a flexible anti-puncture plate to the mid sole.
This boot is an extension of the Speed Assault 2 and Speed Cross 6 family of lighter, faster boots that are appropriate in and out of uniform and on the job.
The Quest 4D FORCES High GTX has all the performance features of the Quest 4 GTX but in an 8” version. Salomon’s Roland Beliveau related that our Northern European NATO partners and Canadian military have been asking us for a rugged 8” boot for quite some time. He also explained that the “EN” in the name means European Norm and the boot meets ISO standards for: Anti-Static, Anti-Puncture and Anti- Slip.
