Review Salomon XA Forces Mid GTX, 6 months of use

[@daveshakibanasab7992]

Excellent! The mids are my favorite. I have the Green ones.

The Lowa zephyr gtx mid tf has a problem with the lacing too and it is as popular with the military as that boot. But a lighter boot means you can go faster but will not last as long.

[@JonesFitnessOutdoor]

I totally agree. From using more light weight boots for a couple of years i think the less material the boot is made of, can cause trigger points where you just experience discomfort or pain. With a traditional combat /hiking boot with leather and insulation there is less chance of that. But on the other hand heavier and bulkier. Also miss the care you had to give your boots 😁

For a daily boot for suburban and rural environment as a police officer. Would you recommend the xa forces or the speed assaults?

[@JonesFitnessOutdoor]

Hi. I would go with the xa forces gtx. The speed assault is a bit low on support and the sole is softish but with a really aggressive grip. I think the sole will wear out quickly on asphalt.

Thank you

How many centimeters this salomon is it from the ground to the top?

[@JonesFitnessOutdoor]

It is 16 cm or 6.3 inches from the ground to the highest point.

Same design in black are Gore Tex EN. Does that make any difference? Thanks

[@JonesFitnessOutdoor]

Exactly the same boot. There are no differences. Thank you for watching!

[@notme3686]

The EN designation is for puncture resistant. Without it the shoes are not rated for puncture resistance.

[@JonesFitnessOutdoor]

Good clarification! Means that the soles on these boots have been tested and certified to be slip/oil resistant, puncture-resistant (outsole), and have antistatic properties.
