XA Forces Mid Wide Tactical Boots FAQs
Is the Salomon XA Forces Mid Wide EN waterproof?
No, the Salomon XA Forces Mid Wide EN is not inherently waterproof. It is designed for breathability. If you require a waterproof version, please consider the Salomon XA Forces Mid Wide GORE-TEX EN model.
What is the advantage of the "Wide EN" designation?
The "Wide EN" designation indicates that these boots feature a wider fit, accommodating a broader range of foot shapes for enhanced comfort and stability, especially during prolonged wear or for individuals with naturally wider feet. The "EN" signifies compliance with European occupational footwear standards (ISO 20347:2012).
What is the Quicklace™ system and how does it work?
The Quicklace™ system is Salomon's innovative lacing solution that allows for one-pull tightening and easy adjustment. Simply pull the lace to tighten the boot, and tuck the excess lace into the dedicated lace pocket on the tongue for a secure and streamlined fit.
Are these boots suitable for long-distance hikes or only tactical operations?
While designed with tactical professionals in mind, the Salomon XA Forces Mid Wide EN's durable construction, advanced stability, and comfortable fit make them highly suitable for long-distance hikes and demanding outdoor adventures where reliable performance is paramount.
How does the 3D Advanced Chassis™ benefit the user?
The 3D Advanced Chassis™ is a rigid, low-profile chassis placed between the outsole and midsole. It provides superior motion control, energy management, and protection, ensuring a stable and precise ride even on rough and uneven terrain.
Can I replace the insoles in these boots?
Yes, the Salomon XA Forces Mid Wide EN comes with removable Molded OrthoLite® insoles. You can replace them with aftermarket orthotic insoles if you require additional support or a customized fit.

- No need to purchase a shipping label! Atomic Defense will give you a pre-paid one.
- A re-certification cost of 20% applies to returns of ballistic and bulletproof products.
- The 20% recertification covers the cost of ensuring the armor is safe. Usually starting with X-Raying the armor for cracks underneath the coating, inspection for damage, and water damage testing. Without this 20%, we would not be able to offer returns on armor.
- There is no way for us to know how or if it was used once shipped, and we have to consider them unsafe until retested, inspected and certified.
- Exchanges and non-ballistic products do not have a re-certification cost.
