Operational boots: Maximum slip resistance on every terrain
The deployment locations of military or police units constantly vary. It is all the more important that the appropriate operational boots ensure the necessary slip resistance in any terrain and do not let the user down even away from paved paths. Combat boots are equipped with special soles and profiles that ensure special slip resistance, even on wet surfaces, and prevent slipping. In this regard, ASMC has consciously selected the combat boots in the range: All operational boots are designed to stabilize the foot optimally and prevent injuries from tilting or slipping. To prevent the user from twisting and causing significant injuries, combat boots are usually cut slightly higher to stabilize the feet at the ankle height optimally. ASMC's operational boots have proven themselves in different terrains and have safely accompanied users through various mission areas.
Functionality and wearing comfort combined in a combat boot
No wishes are left unfulfilled here! The operational boots from premium brands like Haix, Lowa, or Hanwag are consciously designed to ensure the best possible functionality and maximum protection in any terrain but still do not restrict wearing comfort. Years of development work are behind this: Many of the manufacturers design their combat boots in cooperation with special units of the military and the police to meet the specific needs in everyday service optimally. The special soles used for the shoes enable fatigue-free rolling even during long marches and make it easier for the user to cover long distances. Even during multi-hour missions, the operational boots do not press at any point and optimally absorb the weight with each step. So that the combat boots can be worn throughout the year, they stand up to both moisture and extreme heat optimally. The climate-regulating effect of the materials used keeps the foot permanently dry. ASMC's combat boots meet all the requirements for wearing comfort of a modern operational boot: breathability as well as resistance are aspects where the manufacturers of these premium boots do not compromise. The combination of the aforementioned properties makes the operational boots the ideal companion throughout the service year.
Military boots: Specialization for special requirements
Military boots are a special form of operational boots. They offer solutions for very specific challenges and scenarios that can occur in the military sector. Military boots integrate advanced technologies and materials tailored to specific operational conditions. These include, for example, heat and cold insulation for extreme temperature conditions, special coatings for improved camouflage properties, and extended protection functions against chemical or biological risks. Military boots can also be equipped with modular systems that allow for quick adaptation to changing operational conditions. This can include the exchange of insoles, the adjustment of protective components, or the integration of communication technology. Since military operations are often long-lasting and require high physical exertion, military boots focus particularly on long-term wearing comfort and the reduction of fatigue symptoms. These include operational boots with effective damping systems, ergonomically shaped footbeds, and breathable materials that ensure optimal foot climate even during longer missions.
Expert tip: Nothing can go wrong with this lacing technique!
With targeted lacing techniques, many problems with your new operational boots can be avoided from the outset: Often, the heel is narrower than the heel box, which often causes problems. In this case, the foot slips up with every step. With boots with so-called "deep draw hooks," the fit of the heel can be improved through a bottle lacing: First, thread the laces of the combat boots through both deep draw hooks. Then guide the opposite laces under this deep draw hook connection. By pulling both laces tight, your foot is pressed into the heel box. Finally, you can lace the operational boot as usual, in a cross. If there is pressure on the instep ("top of the foot"), it is recommended to lace the laces at the level of the pressure point, instead of crossing them through two eyelets on the same side. This allows the combat boot to widen.
Questions: Operational boots
What shoe size is recommended for operational boots?
For optimal walking comfort, it is recommended to buy the combat boots slightly larger rather than too small. There should be about 1 cm of space to the toe so that the feet do not bump into the front even when walking or standing downhill.
What should be considered when trying on the combat boots?
Since the feet generally swell a bit during the day, combat boots should preferably be bought or tried on in the evening. This is the best way to determine the right size for the new operational boots. To ensure that the combat boots do not pinch during use, it is advisable to wear the socks during the fitting that will be used later in daily use.
What is the main selection criterion for boots?
The sole condition should be one of the most important criteria, as this can only be adjusted to the respective operational area. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Then, of course, the size also plays a role. The shoes should not be too small so that pressure points and blistering can be avoided. In addition, thicker hiking socks are usually worn, which need a little more space. For boots in the security sector, the suitability for tours is, of course, less important than the stability of the entire shoe structure and the sole. Depending on the operational area, it is important not to slip and to keep any moisture away from the feet.
How safe are lighter soles?
A reduced weight boot saves muscle power. It is a safety plus if you can still place your feet precisely after a heavy tour. High walking comfort and good rolling behavior provide safety. A soft-lined shaft gives the ankle a lot of freedom and allows safe movement even on steep slopes. Depending on the tours you usually take, you should adjust your footwear accordingly.
What is the so-called puncture resistance?
It is a - unfortunately not standardized - indication of how much the sole can withstand external influences. For example, if you step on a nail, a puncture-resistant sole is of course very helpful. However, this is usually the case with real safety shoes, i.e., work shoes. These are often equipped with steel caps against forces acting from above by default.
