Uncompromising Development
We start with the performance demands, not with what’s already on the shelf. This process takes around 3 years to develop each and every style we build. And when we release it, it’s right.

Building shoes that feel “supportive” when you first put them on is easy. But what matters to us is how your feet feel after you’ve been in your shoes all day, for all the miles. 3X Support for all 3 Arches in your foot.

Your Feet Need More Support
We live in our boots in Special Forces
Our standard day is all the miles and a full load on our backs and our feet have to perform. More support means more performance, especially when carrying 100lbs in a rucksack.
