The Forces lineup from the French brand Salomon is engineered for those who refuse to compromise on reliability and mobility. The sixth generation of the Speedcross retains its legendary geometry while becoming even lighter, and its outsole now sheds mud even more efficiently.

The shoes are designed for fast-paced movement across rugged terrain (forests, mountains, sand, and mud). The dense upper construction protects the foot from small rocks and debris, while the reinforced protective mudguard minimizes wear and tear during high-intensity operations.

Key Features and Technologies:

• Mud Contagrip® Outsole: Engineered for maximum traction on wet, loose, and uneven surfaces. Deep chevron lugs bite into the ground, ensuring stability during sharp changes of direction.

• Tactical Execution (Forces): The design is completely free of shiny or reflective elements. All hardware is matte and anti-reflective, which is critical for concealment and stealth.

• Anti-debris Mesh: A tight-knit upper structure that allows air to flow freely while completely blocking sand, dust, pine needles, and small debris from entering the shoe.

• Quicklace® Fast Lacing System: A patented system that allows you to tighten the footwear with a single pull. The remaining lace tucks neatly into a dedicated elastic pocket on the tongue, preventing it from catching on brush or wire.

• EnergyCell™+ Cushioning: A high-rebound midsole compound that delivers exceptional energy return. It absorbs shocks from jumping and running on rocks, significantly reducing joint fatigue when carrying heavy loads.

• OrthoLite® Anatomical Insole: Contours to the shape of the foot, providing additional comfort and ventilation, and features a durable anti-bacterial treatment to prevent unpleasant odors.

Care Instructions:

1. After use, clean the shoes from dirt using a dry soft brush or a damp cloth.

2. Machine washing is strictly prohibited — it breaks down the adhesive joints and destroys the structural and protective integrity of the upper materials.

3. Dry exclusively at room temperature. Do not place on hot radiators, heaters, or under direct, intense sunlight.

4. To maintain dirt- and water-repellent properties, periodically treat the footwear with specialized protective sprays for textile shoes.
