The Salomon XA Forces 8” GTX Boot takes the battle-tested DNA of the XA PRO 3D series and cranks it up to full mission-ready status. This 8-inch tactical boot adds height, stability, and protection while maintaining the same comfort, support, and lightweight design the FORCES line is known for.
Built for the harshest operational environments, the XA Forces 8" GTX delivers waterproof protection with a GORE-TEX liner, puncture resistance with an EN-certified outsole, and anti-static safety features for high-risk environments. Reinforced with 2.0mm Nubuck leather and padded support around the ankle and lower calf, these boots are made to move- fast, steady, and dry.
Why We Love It
This is the boot that doesn’t blink. It’s made for operators who live in tough terrain and unpredictable weather. The 8-inch height offers next-level ankle support without compromising the agile feel of the XA platform. It’s got GORE-TEX for waterproofing, Contagrip® for traction, and built-in protection where it counts, from anti-static tech to puncture resistance. Whether you're charging into unknown terrain or standing post in rough conditions, these boots hold the line.
