These shoes are more suited for brisk walking and comfort rather than for "heavy-duty boots." They are lightweight, allow your foot to move freely, and are less tiring over longer distances than classic military boots. The TruFit system really helps secure your foot—the heel fits more securely, and there's less risk of blisters during long marches. The coyote colour is practical; dust and dirt aren't as noticeable. They're great for active environments and everyday use: city, training, shooting range, work on the move. However, if you're planning to carry a heavy backpack, deal with lots of rocks, constant mud and water, this does not offer the same protection and "armour" as bulkier trekking or heavy combat boots. Overall, a very good choice if your priorities are comfort, pace, and lightness.
Tactical boots with Gore-Tex membrane made of cowhide nubuck leather. Additional protection with Scotchgard impregnation makes the boots resistant to water and oily dirt.
The modern Gore-Tex membrane protects the boots from getting wet, provides full breathability and windproofness.The high upper lined with soft material stabilizes the ankle joint and protects against injuries.The high sewn-in, inwardly shaped tongue hinders the penetration of water or dirt into the shoe.
All seams are made of triple twisted nylon thread, which is responsible for the strong and flexible connection.
The TruFit system allows the interior of the shoe to fit the shape of the foot very well. The tips made of thermoplastic material protect the toes from injury and adapt to their shape. The soft and specially shaped inner side of the heel reduces the risk of irritation.
The soles were developed in cooperation with Michelin, and provide very good traction and slip resistance, while being lightweight and well insulated. In addition, they have been equipped with nylon stiffeners, making the shoes safe to wear at the airport. Two drainage holes have been placed above the midsole.
The shoelace loops are an integral part of the construction, making them resistant to detachment. This ensures strong and secure lacing and proper fit of the footwear to the feet.
The Helios SBM TruFit System model is made in accordance with the American uniform standard AR670-1.
Two TruFit inserts are included.
