For moving with the relatively light equipment, but in the urban areas, the XA PRO 3D FORCES and XA PRO 3D GTX FORCES shoes may be a good choice. These are still low trekking models, slightly similar to sneakers, but with a sole adopted to the wider range of the off-road conditions, ensuring a good shock-absorption thanks to the 3D Chassis technology. Almost complete shoe upper was made with dense mesh and nylon fabric – only in the tip there is a large rubber cup which protects the front against the damages and abrasions. QUICKLACE lacing system is also featured in those models. The XA PRO 3D GTX FORCES variant, available in black and green, has GORE-TEX Extended Comfort vapour-permeable membrane liner protecting the inside of the shoe against the infiltration of water. Non-membrane XA PRO 3D FORCES version is available in black and tan (Navajo) colour. The XA PRO 3D MID GTX FORCES, the XA 3D PRO MID FORCES and the XA PRO 3D MID GTX FORCES 2 are mid-height, above- ankle models of the XA PRO 3D – available in the variant with the GORE-TEX membrane (black or green colour) and without it (in black and tan). Besides the height they do not differ in design from the low-height model. In this group there are six models of the shoes intended for wearing in highly dynamic tactical environment. Their main shared feature is a low weight. The lightest from them all is the SPEEDCROSS 3 FORCES – the low running shoe, below-ankle height upper which was formed by modification of the colour scheme of the very popular SPEEDCROSS 3 trail running shoe. The shoes uppers are entirely made from the dense mesh enhancing ventilation and the nylon fabric. A sole with an aggressive profile of the tread perfectly works in the diversified terrain, and simple in handling QUICKLACE lacing system, replacing the classic laces with a thin cord with a cord-lock, ensures good fit. Certainly, it should be taken into account that a shoe is extremely low-height so it will not stabilize ankles under heavy load as SPEEDCROSS is not intended to wear with you full gear on. It should be also reminded that outer sole is not so fond of the asphalt and similar aggressive kinds of the surfaces on which it wears out very quickly. FOOTWEAR
