Combat deployment is a military assignment conducted in an active war zone. The combat mission is designed to fend off threats as well as to restore and maintain public safety. The terrain can vary greatly, depending on the area of operation. It may range from urban areas to remote locations with rough terrain. The ideal footwear for combat missions has a stable upper that supports the ankle and provides a high level of comfort even during extended engagements. A robust fabric provides the required durability, even under adverse conditions.
- Stable upper
  The stable upper provides the support required for demanding situations.
- Very robust
  The very robust boot is designed to handle long, demanding combat missions.
- Comfortable
  The boot is also ideal for extended periods of wear thanks to its high level of comfort.
Perfect on terrain.

Mountain warfare is an assignment that can be conducted in very adverse weather conditions and on very difficult terrain. The objective of a mountain mission is exploration, reconnaissance, security or combat on mountainous terrain. A stable upper is required to provide the support and stability required by the mission. A wrap-around rubber rand prevents premature wear and tear of the material. Waterproof features prevent the constant penetration of moisture and, thus, cold bridges in the boot as well.
- Stable upper
  The stable upper provides the support required for demanding terrain situations.
- Rubber rand
  The wrap-around rubber rand prevents premature wear and tear during missions conducted on demanding terrain.
- Waterproof and breathable
  The waterproof and breathable qualities of the lining create a continuously balanced foot climate.
Achieve your mission.

Foot marches are designed to move troops quickly and surreptitiously. No matter whether the foot march passes through an urban area or virtually impenetrable forest and field terrain: The aim is to move forces from point A to point B rapidly and safely. Depending on the mission, such marches can last from an hour to several days. The weight of soldiers’ rucksacks frequently varies as well. Much of the burden of a foot march is borne, of course, by the feet. For this reason, troops require footwear with a stable upper to provide the support that the ankle needs and a sole with a high degree of stiffness to prevent fatigue-related injuries during long marches with heavy rucksacks. Robust fabric provides durability after many steps.
- Stable upper
  The stable upper design provides stability even when the footwear is worn for an extended period of time.
- High sole rigidity
  The high rigidity of the sole supports the foot during long missions with rucksacks.
- Very robust
  The robust boot can handle high levels of stress for long periods of time.
The right comrade in every situation.

Patrols cover a limited area. They are used to conduct exploration, reconnaissance or security missions. The location and length of such missions vary tremendously, a fact that places tremendous demands on mission equipment, particularly the footwear. Challenging terrain (like the Hindu Kush mountain range in Afghanistan), frequent kneeling as well as good mobility and responsiveness require tough, but lightweight boots that offer moderate sole rigidity and provide solid support to the ligaments and tendons.
- Stable upper
  The stable upper provides the support required during abrupt movements.
- Moderate sole rigidity
  The boot’s moderate sole rigidity supports the foot without hindering movement.
- Comfortable
  The snug boot remains comfortable even when it is worn for an extended amount of time.
Perfect in use.

Event security is performed to protect actors and visitors at public gatherings. It is performed in urban areas and on natural surfaces.
- Stable upper
  High comfort even during long usage.
- Waterproof and breathable
  The waterproof and breathable qualities of the footwear create a continuously balanced foot climate.
- Very robust
  The robust boot can handle high levels of stress for long periods of time.
Turns every landing into a pleasure.

Parachuting involves a range of different jumps from aeroplanes to introduce troops to areas of operation. Such missions can involve jumps made at low altitudes with round parachutes that open automatically or military freefalls with parafoils and occasionally heavy rucksacks. Parachuting places some special demands on footwear worn during such missions. Important features include closed hooks to prevent the hooks from becoming caught in suspension lines, good heel cushioning and a stable upper to prevent injuries during landing.
- Stable upper
  The stable upper design provides stability during landings.
- Closed hooks
  The closed hooks prevent them from becoming accidentally caught in parts of the parachute.
- Good heel cushioning
  Good heel cushioning reduces stress during landings.
Descend safely.

Fast roping is a quicker technique than abseiling. Fast roping involves mission forces sliding down a rope from helicopters without using descenders. The method enables mission forces to land on ships and to be introduced to hard-to-reach terrain or developed areas. Because of the friction produced by rope sliding, the medial side of the boot must be equipped with heat protection. Similar to footwear worn during parachuting, the boots must have such special features as closed lace-up hooks and good heel cushioning to lessen the impact of landing.
- Protected medial side of the boot
  The protected medial side of the boot prevents premature wear and tear caused by sliding on a rope.
- Closed hooks
  The closed hooks prevent the footwear from getting caught in the rope during descent.
- Good heel cushioning
  The good heel cushioning lessens the force of the impact with the ground.
