AKU Griffon GTX Combat Boots Brown (901T-050) is a high-quality tactical footwear, which is on the equipment of the Danish army. The advanced design and materials of the boots, combined with appropriate socks, provide high comfort during operations in harsh winter conditions, where temperatures oscillate between -19 and 10 degrees Celsius.
A key feature of these boots is their upper, made entirely of 2.2 mm thick waterproof grain leather. The natural leather is breathable, which is important for maintaining foot hygiene, especially during intensive use. It also helps regulate the temperature inside the shoe. It is also an extremely durable material that stands up well to the harsh field conditions that often accompany the use of tactical footwear. With proper maintenance, the resistance to abrasion and cracking means that leather boots can last for many years. In addition, fire-resistant threads were used for all stitching of the upper to strengthen the structure in case of short-term exposure to high temperatures. Stitching is one of the key points that determine the overall durability of the shoes. Fire-resistant stitching increases the shoes' resistance to abrasion and tearing, which is especially important in off-road conditions where the shoes are subjected to heavy use.
The boot's lining uses an insulated Gore-Tex® Insulated Comfort membrane, which provides thermal insulation and breathability while keeping feet dry and comfortable. Footwear with GORE-TEX Insulated technology is designed specifically for cold temperatures and harsh weather conditions. It combines durable waterproofing and optimized breathability with high insulation that is ideal for keeping feet warm and dry, even for long periods of time outdoors and during strenuous work. Water and snow stay on the outside of the shoe, while perspiration can be effectively wicked away from the inside of the boot.
The shoe uses AKU Elica technology, which was created by uniquely combining the layers that make up the lower part of the shoe (insole, midsole and sole). The load is evenly distributed to the different parts of the foot at each step. The AKU Elica provides an anatomical fit, better stability, even weight distribution on the sole of the shoe and reduces pressure points. This contributes to a safer step and reduces fatigue.
Outsole construction is another key aspect of these combat boots. The Davos Ranger's outsole is made of an anti-static nitrile compound that is resistant to heat and POL chemicals. The midsole is made of EVA, which provides additional cushioning and comfort. The boots have an EVA insole with anti-static properties, and an additional layer made of nylon (6-4 mm) and anti-puncture material, because it further protects and stiffens the sole. The joint between the upper and the sole is protected by a special rubber lag, which protects against damage and improves water resistance in this sensitive area.
AKU Griffon GTX Combat Boots Brown (901T-050) are footwear that combine advanced technology and durable materials to offer users unparalleled protection, comfort and durability. Their technical specifications make them an ideal choice for soldiers operating in cold conditions who need reliable and durable combat footwear.
