SALOMON XA FORCES MID GORE TEX EN BLACK Salomon XA FORCES Mid GORE TEX EN Black. These are FORCES, so they are a military line not available for general retail. Salomon, known as a world-leading brand in winter sports gear, also boasts unwavering popularity in the field of outdoor footwear, utilizing its high technical capabilities. Its lightweight and durable hiking shoes are used by many members of special forces units. The "XA FORCES" is a military line shoe for special forces, based on the "XA PRO 3D" with improvements. By reinforcing everything from materials to stitching, durability is enhanced, while achieving a top-class lightness for tactical shoes, weighing approximately 540g. The upper has a matte finish, without reflective materials, designed for tactical situations. It uses a tight mesh material to prevent debris from entering, and the waterproof and breathable "GORE-TEX" provides a dry and comfortable fit. The shoelaces use Salomon's "Quicklace™" system, an icon of their footwear, allowing the laces to be tightened with a single action, making them very easy to put on and take off. The sole incorporates the "3D Advanced Chassis™" born from trail running, between the highly shock-absorbing "High-performance EVA foam" midsole and the all-terrain, durable "Contagrip®" outsole, enhancing not only protection but also stability and responsiveness. The "XA FORCES" is an item for special forces and is not sold in general outdoor stores. However, it is a line that is also worth noting as a fashion item due to its simple, blackout design that suits any style. ■ Wide fit model that easily fits the Japanese foot shape ■ Uses GORE-TEX material with excellent waterproof and breathable properties ■ Color: Black (without reflective materials) Size: 27.5cm After purchase, I wore them for a short time, 2 or 3 times, on sunny days.
