Long days of training demand footwear that remains comfortable from start to finish. The removable moulded PU comfort footbed provides excellent underfoot cushioning, while the breathable tricot lining helps regulate temperature and wick away moisture during active use. A deep padded leather collar improves comfort around the ankle, and the moulded rubber heel counter provides additional support and stability over varied terrain.

The speed lacing system allows the boots to be adjusted quickly while providing a secure fit that remains comfortable throughout the day, whether on the parade square, completing fieldcraft exercises or taking part in outdoor expeditions.
