Salomon X Ultra Forces Mid
The Salomon X Ultra Forces Mid is a lightweight tactical boot designed to combine the agility of Salomon's hiking footwear with the additional support and durability required for demanding professional and outdoor use. Its mid-cut construction provides useful ankle support while retaining the flexibility needed for fast movement across varied terrain.
Built around Salomon's proven X Ultra platform, the Forces Mid provides a stable and controlled feel over uneven ground. A durable upper, supportive chassis and Contagrip® outsole work together to provide dependable traction, protection and comfort without the bulk of a traditional heavy-duty tactical boot.

Support & Stability
The X Ultra Forces Mid is designed to provide a stable platform when travelling across uneven and unpredictable ground. Its supportive chassis helps control lateral movement and provides additional confidence when changing direction or carrying equipment.
The mid-cut profile adds support around the ankle while retaining significantly more freedom of movement than a taller, heavier tactical boot.
Grip & Traction
Salomon's Contagrip® outsole is designed to provide dependable traction across a wide range of surfaces, including mud, loose trails, rocky ground and harder surfaces.
The tread is suited to mixed-terrain use, making the X Ultra Forces Mid a versatile option where conditions and surfaces can change throughout the day.
Comfort & Mobility
One of the main advantages of the X Ultra Forces Mid is its combination of support and relatively low weight. The boot retains the responsive feel associated with Salomon's outdoor footwear while providing additional protection for professional use.
Cushioning helps reduce fatigue during extended periods on foot, while the flexible construction supports natural movement when walking quickly or travelling over technical terrain.
Construction & Protection
The upper is reinforced in key areas to provide additional resistance to abrasion and everyday wear. Protective construction around the toe helps guard against knocks and contact with rocks, vegetation and other obstacles.
This combination gives the X Ultra Forces Mid greater durability than a conventional lightweight walking shoe without making the boot unnecessarily heavy or restrictive.
Non-GORE-TEX Design
This version of the X Ultra Forces Mid does not use a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane. The non-membrane construction allows increased airflow and can be preferable for warmer and drier conditions where breathability is more important than complete waterproof protection.
For wet-weather use where waterproof protection is required, consider the X Ultra Forces Mid GORE-TEX version.
Fit & Sizing
The X Ultra Forces Mid is designed to provide a secure and supportive fit for active movement. The foot should feel held securely through the midfoot while retaining enough room at the front for natural movement during longer periods of wear.
When choosing your size, allow sufficient room for the socks you normally intend to wear with the boots.
