ASMC combat boots for all challenging situations in everyday service

Premium brands such as Lowa , Haix and Meindl know how to combine functionality and comfort with all the protective properties required for duty in one combat boot. The combat boots are characterized by particularly robust materials that provide police, military and other personnel with optimal protection from external influences in all challenging situations. ASMC's range is extensive and includes a wide selection of combat boots from premium brands that have proven themselves over the years in the tough everyday working life and have safely accompanied users on their missions.

Combat boots: Maximum sure-footedness on any terrain

The deployment locations of military or police units are constantly changing. It is therefore all the more important that the right combat boots ensure the necessary sure-footedness in any terrain and do not let the user down even off paved paths. Combat boots are equipped with special soles and profiles that ensure particular sure-footedness in order to have a secure footing even on wet surfaces and to avoid slipping. With this in mind, ASMC has deliberately selected the combat boots in its range: All combat boots are designed to optimally stabilize the foot and optimally prevent injuries caused by stepping or slipping. To prevent the user from twisting their ankle and thereby causing serious injuries, the combat boots are usually cut a little higher in order to optimally stabilize the feet at ankle level. ASMC's combat boots have proven themselves in different terrain and have safely accompanied users through a wide variety of deployment areas.

Functionality and comfort combined in a combat boot

No wish is left unfulfilled! The combat boots from premium brands such as Haix , Lowa or Hanwag are deliberately designed to ensure the best possible functionality and maximum protection in any terrain, but still do not limit comfort. This is the result of years of development work: many of the manufacturers design their combat boots in cooperation with special units of the military and police in order to optimally respond to the specific needs of everyday service. The special soles used for the shoes enable fatigue-free rolling even on long marches and make it easier for the user to cover long distances. Even on missions lasting several hours, the combat boots do not press anywhere and optimally cushion the weight with every step. So that the combat boots can be worn all year round, they can withstand both wetness and extreme heat. The climate-regulating effect of the materials used keeps the foot permanently dry. The combat boots from ASMC meet all the requirements that are placed on a modern combat boot in terms of comfort: breathability and durability are aspects on which the manufacturers of these premium boots make no compromises. The combination of the aforementioned properties makes the combat boots the ideal companion throughout the entire year of service.

Military boots: specialization for special requirements

Military boots are a special type of operational boots. They offer solutions for very specific challenges and operational scenarios that can arise in the military sector. Military boots integrate advanced technologies and materials that are tailored to special operational conditions. These include, for example, heat and cold insulation for extreme temperature conditions, special coatings for improved camouflage properties and extended protective functions against chemical or biological risks. Military boots can also be equipped with modular systems that enable rapid adaptation to changing operational conditions. This can include replacing insoles, adjusting protective components or integrating communication technology. Since military operations are often lengthy and require high levels of physical exertion, military boots place a particular focus on long-term comfort and reducing signs of fatigue. These include operational boots with effective cushioning systems , ergonomically shaped footbeds and breathable materials that ensure an optimal foot climate even during longer operations.

Expert tip: With this lacing technique nothing can go wrong!

With a targeted lacing technique, many problems with your new combat boots can be avoided from the outset: The heel is often narrower than the heel box, which often causes problems. In this case, the foot slides upwards with every step. With boots with so-called "deep pull hooks", the heel fit can be improved with pulley lacing: To do this, thread the laces of the combat boots through both deep pull hooks. Then guide the opposite laces under this deep pull hook connection. By pulling both laces tight, your foot is pressed into the heel box. Finally, you can lace the combat boots crosswise as usual. If the pressure is on the instep ("back of the foot"), it is recommended to thread the laces at the level of the pressure point, rather than crosswise through two eyelets on the same side. This gives the combat boots the opportunity to stretch.

Questions: Combat boots

What shoe size are recommended for combat boots?

For optimal walking comfort, it is recommended to buy combat boots that are a little larger than too small. There should be about 1 cm of space at the tip of the foot so that the feet do not hit the front when walking downhill or standing.

What should you pay attention to when trying on combat boots?

Since feet generally swell a little during the day, combat boots should be bought or tried on in the evening. This is the best way to determine the right size of the new combat boots. To ensure that the combat boots do not pinch during use, it is recommended that you also wear the socks that you will later use on a daily basis when trying them on.

What is the main selection criterion for boots?

One of the most important things to consider is the quality of the sole, as you can only adjust this to the specific area of ​​use yourself. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Then of course the size also plays a role. The shoes should not be too small to avoid pressure and blisters. In addition, you usually wear slightly thicker hiking socks, which need a little more space. With boots for the security sector, the suitability for touring is of course less important than the stability of the entire shoe structure and the sole. Depending on the area of ​​use, it is important not to slip under any circumstances and to keep any moisture away from your feet.

How safe are you on lighter soles?

A lightweight boot saves muscle power. It is a safety plus if you can still place your feet precisely after a difficult tour. High walking comfort and good rolling characteristics provide safety. A softly lined shaft gives the ankle plenty of space and allows safe movement even on steep slopes. Depending on the tours you usually go on, you should match your footwear accordingly.

What is the so-called puncture resistance?

It is an indication - unfortunately not standardized - of how much the sole can withstand in terms of foreign body impact. If, for example, you step on a nail, then a puncture-proof sole is of course very helpful. However, this is usually the case with real safety shoes, i.e. work shoes. These are often equipped with steel caps to protect against forces acting from above.
