    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.

    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.

    Perfect in use.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Military Operation

    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.

  • Security man standing indoors

    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.

TWO ZONE LACING The shoes fit correctly as a result

Thanks to the two-zone lacing system used in the COMBAT BOOT MK2 GTX, the forefoot and upper have their own separately adjustable lacing zones. As a result, the shoe can be indi­vidually adapted to the anatomy of the foot and laced in different ways for ascents and descents.

MINIMAL SEAMS Fewer stitches for lots of comfort

Stitches and material overlaps are elim­inated in the COMBAT BOOT MK2 GTX thanks to the use of large pieces in forming the upper. This reduces the possibility of pressure points, a feature that enhances comfort.

Sole

VIBRAM VANGUARD

Proven Vibram rubber sole from a high-quality provider from Italy.

The sole meets the highest anti-slip standards. Slip protection depends primarily on the design and rubber compound of the outsole. The shoe provides optimal slip protection on slick, wet and oily surfaces, as well as good grip on terrain.

Midsole
