This lightweight, all-conditions tactical boot is based on Salomon's iconic trail running shoe XA PRO 3D. This is the tall version of the series. Favored by special forces, this very durable boot comes with a Gore-Tex membrane and puncture-resistant outsole, and it gives you comfort and stability on those long treks through the badlands. In addition to military use, it is also very well suited for hiking, hunting, and other demanding outdoor use.

Features

• Rubber outsole. The tread pattern is Salomon’s versatile All Terrain Contagrip^® that delivers stability on wet, dry, hard, and loose surfaces.
• The outsole has a layer of puncture-resistant material (ISO 20344:2011) to prevent nails and such from coming through. The boots also come with a protective toecap.
• Combining foams with two different densities, the midsole provides cushioning, stability, motion control, and shock attenuation.
• The OrthoLite^® insole is molded to match the contours of your foot, providing great cushioning and breathability.
• The upper is made from a combination of durable leather and lightweight textile. There is a single layer of mesh close to the foot to prevent debris from being trapped between your foot and the footbed.
• Every component is reinforced from the stitching to the mesh to the laces to the outsole.
• The boots come with traditional lacing with eyelets. The lace pocket provides easy storage for the lacing system.
• The 3D Advanced Chassis™ was originally designed for trail running. This low-profile chassis provides protection and stability during long treks in rough terrain.
• Developed through experience in trail running, SensiFit™ wraps around the foot, ensuring a secure and snug fit.
• The gusseted tongue is connected to the upper on both sides, preventing debris from entering the shoe and keeping the tongue centered.
• A mudguard protects the lateral and medial sides of the foot. There is also a durable, cushioned pad across the medial side of the instep for protection and increased wear.
• GORE-TEX membrane keeps your feet dry. A special treatment is applied to provide extra protection, ensuring that the fabric does not absorb water during light rain and showers.
• Although very durable, this shoe is still one of the lightest in its category. Weight on the average is 675 grams (23.8 oz) plus minus something based on the size you choose.
