Extreme Agility and Robustness:
Built for those who need to move quickly without the bulk of a high boot. The upper uses the exclusive AKU AIR8000® breathable fabric coupled with a welded PU Film that eliminates traditional seams, drastically reducing friction points and wear. The toe is reinforced with a solid rubber layer to protect the toes from impacts against rocks, urban obstacles, and debris, ensuring long life even in the harshest operational scenarios.
Perfect Climate (GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort):
The integration of the GORE-TEX® membrane in the "Extended Comfort" version is specific to keep the foot dry and cool even during the most intense physical activities or in hot climates. It is totally waterproof from the outside, but allows excellent escape of sweat vapor. This ensures unparalleled thermo-regulating comfort in all seasons. In addition, the chosen materials promote rapid drying and extremely easy cleaning, an essential quality for professionals in the field.
Absolute Traction (Vibram® Megagrip) and Flexibility:
Whether you're running on wet asphalt, mud, or smooth pavements, the VIBRAM® Selvatica tread with Megagrip compound literally sticks to the ground. The injected EVA midsole and the breathable Ortholite® footbed work in synergy with the flexible polypropylene mounting insole, absorbing impacts and supporting the natural rolling of the foot during running and sudden changes of direction.
Pro Maintenance Tips for a Perfect Setup
How to choose the perfect size (Measurement in MM): In our size guide you will also find the measurement in millimeters (MM). To avoid mistakes, I suggest this simple but infallible rule: place your bare foot on a sheet of white paper, draw two lines (one behind the heel and one in front of the longest toe), then measure the exact distance between the two marks. Comparing this value in millimeters with our table, you will have the absolute guarantee of receiving the correct size!
The power of Low-Cut: Many operators are used to high boots, but in urban scenarios or during the warmer months, a low tactical shoe like the Selvatica GTX changes your life. Freeing the ankle joint allows you to drive vehicles with much more sensitivity, to crouch in a flash behind covers and to sprint with the agility of a runner, while still keeping a Vibram armored sole under your foot.
Quick Lacing: The drawstring lacing system on this model is a godsend for speed. Adjust it the first time to find the right tension on the instep, then lock the slider. If too much lace remains, remember to tuck it under the lacing itself on the back of the foot to prevent it from getting caught on branches or edges during action.
