Hiking boots, or rather more than hiking boots

Feet are any hiker’s most valuable tools. Regardless of whether the trip is one or a thousand kilometers long. Therefore, it is very important that the shoes are comfortable and of high quality. Besides hiking boots, there are also so-called tactical hiking boots, like the ones here. Tactical boots are designed to provide high performance and protection in harsh environments and conditions.

Like many things that are called tactical, the boots are mostly inspired by the usual equipment and clothing used in the military. Combat boots must be durable enough to withstand active use while still allowing the wearer’s feet and ankles enough flexibility. To achieve this, these boots are also made of natural leather with a hard rubber outsole.

Tactical hiking boots are increasingly going out to the masses due to their comfort and durability in the harshest conditions.

What characteristics to look for in a hiking boot?

Material quality: these boots are designed for use in varied terrain conditions. Be it a forest trail, a rocky surface, sand dunes or a muddy marshland. The good thread and material of the outsole provide a strong anti-slip grip.

Insole: is probably already soft and breathable in all hiking boots, similar to running shoes. It provides for comfort, light weight and easy maintenance.

Support: higher leg sections stabilise the foot and thus reduce the chance of ankle injuries while on the move.

Waterproof: since the boots are designed for use in varied conditions, they have certain water resistance out-of-the-box. However, there is still a risk that the boots will have to sacrifice some breathability when wading through streams or torrential rain.

Breathability: elements made of artificial mesh and other fabrics ensure good breathability of the boots.

Features of the MIL-TEC Patrol 1-zip hiking boot

These boots are equipped with a removable POLIYOU® foam insole (ISO-9001), which has antibacterial, air-permeable and moisture-absorbing properties. To increase wearing comfort, the shoes are made of rip-stop 1200D polyester and full leather.

The double-layer sole absorbs shocks and ensures a good grip when moving on irregular terrain.

PATROL hiking boots are tall, which significantly reduces the possibility of dislocating the ankle when going over bumps, as well as the possibility of water getting in across the top edges of the boot.

PATROL is a hiking boot that combines durability, high quality materials and exceptional elements.
