Description
Light, Fast, and Flexible Tactical Shoe
The Speed Assault 2 GTX by Salomon exemplifies high-performance tactical boots, renowned for their exceptional lightness, speed, and flexibility. Weighing only 330 grams, this boot is ideal for diverse environments—from desert missions to jungle training camps or operations in swampy terrain. The latest version of this high-speed shoe places special emphasis on optimized fit around the upper foot and advanced design.
Materials and Construction
The lightweight construction of the Speed Assault 2 GTX benefits from the technologies used in Salomon's trail running shoes, focusing on performance, durability, flexibility, and agility. The upper material combines ripstop fabric, anti-debris mesh, and TPU materials, creating a durable yet flexible structure. An underlying GORE-TEX membrane ensures weather resistance under all conditions.
Anti-Debris Mesh
Anti-Debris Mesh is a crucial component of the material matrix, specifically designed to prevent the penetration of dirt and foreign bodies. This tightly woven material effectively blocks dirt, sand, and small stones while offering outstanding breathability.
It is essential for maintaining agility and comfort during tactical or military operations, where cleanliness and functionality of footwear are of utmost importance. The mesh also contributes to the robustness and flexibility of the shoe, making it suitable for a variety of challenging environments.Ripstop Fabric
In the Speed Assault 2 GTX, Salomon employs ripstop fabric to effectively protect the foot under extreme conditions while keeping the shoe's weight low. Ripstop fabric is a material specifically developed for its resistance to tearing and wear. It is characterized by the weaving of reinforced threads in a crosshatch pattern at regular intervals into the fabric. These reinforcements give the fabric high robustness and ensure that if a tear occurs, it does not spread or fray beyond the material.
Single Layer Mesh
Single Layer Mesh is a type of material that lies close to the foot, providing maximum sensation. This mesh is used in Salomon boots to ensure excellent breathability while also offering light protection from small foreign bodies without compromising freedom of movement or comfort.
Lycra Stretch
Lycra Stretch material is used to ensure a flexible yet secure fit. The Lycra material allows the shoe to conform to the foot without constricting, enhancing wearing comfort and providing better support. Additionally, Lycra Stretch offers the necessary flexibility allowing the boot to follow the foot's movements without restrictions, which is especially important during activities in changing terrain.
Gore-Tex Membran
In the GTX version of the tactical boot, a Gore-Tex membrane made of porous PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is embedded between the outer material and the lining. This membrane is water-repellent but allows sweat in the form of water vapor to escape. This keeps the feet dry and comfortable, effectively protects against moisture, and simultaneously offers high breathability.
Fit and Construction for Optimized Functionality
SensiFit System
The SensiFit system of the boot encompasses the foot, from the midsole to the Quicklace fast-lacing system, ensuring a precise, secure fit. Additionally, the interior of the boot is reinforced to provide optimal support during activities such as climbing and rapid rappelling.
Quicklace System
Salomon's Quicklace technology facilitates quick and easy adjustment of the shoe fit by tightening the lace with a single pull, and the excess length is conveniently stored in a special pocket on the tongue side of the shoe.
This lacing method distributes pressure evenly across the entire foot, eliminates pressure points, and can be easily operated even while wearing gloves, making it particularly suitable for tactical use. Additionally, the lace hooks are designed to be closed to minimize the risk of tripping.
Rubber Cap and Mudguard
The 3D rubber toe cap effectively protects the toes against impacts and hard strikes while also providing abrasion resistance and a waterproof barrier that enhances the boot's durability and keeps the feet dry. Modern shaping techniques improve wearing comfort and contribute to the structural stability of the boot, which is essential for quick movements and safe maneuvering in difficult conditions.
Sole Construction and Cushioning
The sole construction of the Speed Assault 2 GTX includes several elements focused on performance and comfort.
Midsole
At its core is the EnergyCell material, a high-performance EVA foam that provides optimal cushioning. This material is known for its shock absorption and energy return, enhancing comfort and walking efficiency.
Outsole
The outsole is made of Contagrip TA, which is specifically developed for its excellent grip on various surfaces. The sole is equipped with Chevron lugs that penetrate deeply into the ground, providing excellent traction on soft, loose, or uneven surfaces. These features make the boot particularly suitable for changing and challenging terrain conditions.
Insole
The sole construction is complemented by a molded OrthoLite insole, which provides additional comfort for the footbed and cushioning. The OrthoLite sole features perforations that enable enhanced breathability and moisture regulation, maintaining a pleasant foot climate.
The Speed Assault 2 GTX is the ideal choice for service personnel who value a light, modern boot that guarantees agility and functionality in challenging terrain. This boot combines advanced materials and innovative technologies to maximize comfort, protection, and performance, making it ideal for dynamic and versatile operational requirements.
