These boots are designed to near perfection. Iām extremely particular about my footwear. This Salomon model rivals and surpasses much more expensive boots Iāve had. Proper fit, the wide size helps prevent pinching and hotspots. Very supportive and durable while still being light. A perfect balance. I can, jog, hike and go to dinner in them. Wear them winter or summer. My only criticism is the speed lace locking clasp. I have three other Salomon shoes with the same mechanism, and none slip, however the clasp on these boots slip and loosened over time during initial use. After some time (a month or so), they stopped slipping as much. Perhaps it was used error. I think the loosing may have occurred due to the rubber pulling tab having to be placed in the same pouch as ...Ā MoreThese boots are designed to near perfection.

The pull tab may possibly be rubbing against the clasp and releasing it. Iām finding if I am more careful in where I place the tab, there is less, if any slippage. Anyhow, certainly not a deal breaker and Iād readily buy these masterpiece boots again. Highly recommend. - 1 star only for the finicky clasps.

Amazing boots! Order 1/2 to 1 size higher than your measured size...Althought they are breathable they run hot for humid and warm places. Wear with wool or cooling socks.Quicklace system amazing! No words for it, great.The REALLY support you and propel you forward, upward, or help you counter a steep down slope.Worth it. Don't expect an amateur 'smooth ride' boot. You'll feel the ground and that's great, just know what you want.

I have now spent several 12 hour shifts as well as walked some miles in the forces to be able to make a decent review. My first impression, the fit and finish is spot on. They look and feel high quality and my shoe size was true to my normal size. If you are someone like myself who likes a more tactical tennis shoe/boot look and feel you will like these. I have used three different versions of UAs and these feel much more durable and better made. They seem to be breaking in and becoming more comfortable at this point. They are a much more boot feel and have a much stiffer sole than other boots that I am used two but I knew that going into them. If you stand for hours at a time on a regular basis I would not recommend these at all. For patrol use I think they bridge ...Ā MoreI have now spent several 12 hour shifts as well as walked some miles in the forces to be able to make a decent review.

If you are someone like myself who likes a more tactical tennis shoe/boot look and feel you will like these. I have used three different versions of UAs and these feel much more durable and better made. They seem to be breaking in and becoming more comfortable at this point. They are a much more boot feel and have a much stiffer sole than other boots that I am used two but I knew that going into them. If you stand for hours at a time on a regular basis I would not recommend these at all. For patrol use I think they bridge the gap between tactical boots and tennis shoes very well in my opinion. However, I have had a love hate relationship with these shoes so far. My first issue was the inner stiches on the seam that runs down your inner ankle. There was a slight knot on the right shoe that caused some pressure point pain to my ankle. I eventually found that knot and was able to manipulate it enough to fix that problem. Now my biggest complaint with the shoes are the laces. I like the lace system but it does take some time to get used to. I found myself at first lacing them too tight because I read some reviews of them loosing up which I have noticed only a small amount. Therefore I now lace them like normal and resolved that problem. My number one complaint which is infuriating is that the laces essentially squeak on the lower eyelets of the shoes EVERY SINGLE STEP I TAKE. The left shoe for whatever reason is significantly louder than the right but both still make a squeak/rubbing noise every time I step that comes from the laces. I have tried to tighten the laces to prevent the rubbing which made the shoes uncomfortable and did not help as well as tried to wear them looser which again made no difference. From what I can tell the upper eyelets have an inner plastic piece that allows the laces to glide in them easier and reduces the friction/rubbing noise however, the lowest or bottom eyelets does not have that inner plastic piece. I am to the point of attempting to use gun oil or inject grease into the eyelets in order to try and stop the squeaking. I want to love these boots however, they are making it hard too. If anyone has a solution to the squeaking please let me know so I can finally enjoy them to their fullest potential.
This is my 3rd pair of Salomons I've owned, and I will continue to buy this brand because they are always comfortable right out the box. I thought these were going to be narrow, but they fit fine, as I usually buy wide size boots. These have nylon mixed with some leather, and the feel is pretty durable, I don't plan on raiding another country, or hiking dozens of miles so around town, they will do just fine. The speed lace system these have are so easy to use, and speedy. I can actually put these boots on while standing, just slipping my foot into them, and with a pull of the lace, its perfect for the rest of the day, and you just tuck away the lace in its own pouch incorporated into the tongue of the boots. I dig these boots, and would recommend them any day.

The eyelets are too soft and the laces create grooves that eventually cut through the lace.I managed to dremel and press one smooth that is quickly wearing down again.Another just shredded a lace and after inspecting the others noticed all eyelets wearing down as well as the shoe material where the laces moves over.The tread is harder than non forces but still wears quickly. And chunks off easier because its harder material.Minor delamination on the outsole also after only a few months.
When searching the site for these boots- as they were recommended- I encountered that instead of having medium and wide option on the boots they only said medium with no option to choose a wide version. So this is the only shoe site on the planet where you actually have to search by putting āwideā in the search line. I placed my order and decided to try a medium as I thought that was the only option available. The boots were too narrow and once again no other site has such stupid rules- I canāt exchange them! I have to place a new order and canāt get the sale price I originally paid for without calling customer service after I place a new order and get the sale price refunded.

This is my third pair of XA Forces. Second pair with gore-tex. The two others I have are the āolderā generation where the speed lacing isnāt through the tongue. I like this lacing because I feel more secure in the boot. My previous two pair were issued back in 2016 and I still wear them today. Those boots were used in AFSOC and now in SWAT and theyāre still holding up. I wear the black ones for patrol. Best 3 season boot to wear for Military/LEO. Also I believe the toe box is slightly larger in my new ones compared to the old ones but both fit great.
Iāve used the Forces XA boots for the last 4 years, everyday, and they have stood up to everything Iāve thrown at them. I finally bought a new pair last month after wearing out the soles of the old ones. The boots have minor design changes which make them even better and more supportive than the previous generation. The boots not lace up a little bit higher providing additional ankle support and the storage compartment for the laces is now at the top of the tongue. Iām a huge fan of salomon shoes/boots and Iāll continue to purchase them.
U just can't beat the prices compared 2 other places. And got it 5 days later. Oh yeah U get 10% more discount if your 1st X buyer. I didn't give 5āļø's because of what you have to do 2 match this boots 2 Ur feet. 1st 3 days it hurt. And in 5 days later boots broke 2 my foot. I guess no pain no gain. š¤£š¤£It's a great boots for my hobby indoor airsoft building of concrete ground. Of my QB style + 10 pounds of equipment on my body will be great addition for the game. This comes 2 my mind K-POP JYP Entertainment twice group song š¶ Likey šµš¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ Good buy 4 a price.
