Product description

XA FORCES MID GTX® is a lightweight, all conditions boot for moving fast in the most critical situations. Based on Salomon's iconic XA PRO 3D, this special forces oriented boot is more durable in every way, and has a beefier outsole.

Durability
Every component gets reinforcement, from the stitching to the mesh to the laces to the outsole.

Grip
An updated Contagrip® Sole has wider lugs for more ground contact, and a pronounced break in front of the heel for climbing ladders and descending hills.

Lightweight
Even with the added durability, XA FORCES MID is still the lightest shoe in its category.

The product image is wrong, at least at the time of writing this comment! The image does not show Salomon's new solution for the drawstring, which I think was a little more clumsy than the previous one, but you will see that later. That may be partly just because I am not used to the new system. I have been using this shoe model as my main shoes for about 10 years. The shoes are great for active activities. They look great in black too. In this latest model, the opening of the shoes has been narrowed. Before, when it was flatter, the problem in the forest was that the shoe collected debris like a funnel. I would think that problem is less now. The shoes have lasted about two years with more active use than average. Then the sole of one of them cracked at the ball of the foot, towards where the foot bends.

Fast delivery, comfortable shoes that work in everyday life as well as in the terrain.

They fit well, they are a bit heavy and I would like a bit more sneaker-like feel. The sole of the second pair of shoes started to come off at the edge near the instep after less than half a year of use, but I hope the new pair will last better.

Great shoes for slush and snow. Good fit (wide last) and grippy sole.

The shoes are comfortable and good to wear, but durability will be a question mark. The shoe already looks like it has been worn quite a lot.

Great shoes, the short shaft is easy to stick to when the snow gets in

I chose the size according to the size chart, but it still could have been a size bigger. Normally my size is 45, so it should have been 46 2/3. That is, if you choose two numbers higher, you may find the right one. A wide elastic model fits the foot, there is no hope for a normal elastic.
