Designed for high-tempo assaults and low-vis operations, this boot allows you to move quickly across unpredictable terrain without sacrificing protection. It is field-ready with non-reflective materials and a lightweight build for dynamic missions.
- Stays Dry and Stealthy using GORE-TEX & Non-Reflective Materials: The integrated GORE-TEX membrane blocks water from entering while allowing internal moisture to escape, keeping your feet dry in rain or wet vegetation.

A reinforced rubber toe cap shields your feet from impact against rocks, door frames, or hard debris during breaching.

X Ultra Mid GTX Forces FAQs
What is GORE-TEX?
GORE-TEX is a special material inside the boot. It acts like a shield. It stops rain and water from getting inside, but it still lets your sweat escape. This keeps your feet dry and comfortable.
What is the big deal of the Advanced Chassis?
The Chassis is a plastic frame built into the bottom of the boot. It connects the heel to the toes. It stops your foot from twisting on uneven ground. It also acts as a shield to stop sharp rocks from poking the bottom of your foot.
Is the All-Terrain Grip really a big deal?
Yes. Regular sneakers slip on wet grass or mud. The All-Terrain Contagrip uses a special rubber mix that is sticky. It helps you stand firm on wet pavement, loose dirt, or slippery rocks.
What is the Chevron Lug?
These are the V-shaped bumps on the bottom of the boot. They work like cleats. The shape digs deep into mud or dirt. This helps you start running quickly and stops you from sliding when you use the brakes.
What are PFAS Chemicals?
PFAS are man-made chemicals often used to make gear waterproof and stain-resistant. Some people call them "forever chemicals" because they stay in the environment for a long time. Salomon is working to reduce these in their new products to be safer for the earth.
Why is it called "MID"?
"MID" stands for the height of the boot. It comes up just over your ankle bone. This protects your ankle from rolling, but it is lighter and faster than a tall, heavy combat boot.
What does US Width Standard Code E mean?
The letter "E" stands for "Wide" in US sizing. The standard boot width is "D". If you have wide feet, you should look for the version marked "Wide" or "E" so your toes have enough room to spread out.
Are Salomon X Ultra Forces Mid boots waterproof?
Yes. The GORE-TEX membrane makes these boots 100% waterproof. You can step in puddles or walk through wet grass, and your socks will stay dry.

Salomon X Ultra Forces Mid GTX Boots FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, they are. The boots have a GORE-TEX membrane inside. This special layer keeps your feet dry from the outside, like in rain or puddles, and also lets sweat escape from the inside so you stay comfortable.
What is special about the grip on the bottom of these boots?
The outsole, or the bottom of the boot, is made from a special material called All-Terrain Contagrip® rubber. It is designed to grab the ground securely, even on wet or slippery surfaces, giving you excellent control. The deep, arrow-shaped lugs, called Chevron lugs, help improve your traction on soft surfaces like mud or loose dirt.
Why is the "mid" height of the boot important?
The mid-cut height means the boot comes up to cover your ankle. This design provides extra ankle support and protection, which is very important for staying stable when walking on uneven ground
