Salomon Forces Speed Assault Shoes: More Durable Than Your Grandfather’s Speedcross

The Salomon Forces line was introduced in early 2016 to offer footwear geared towards the Military and Law Enforcement, but still ensure accessibility to civilians and those desiring a less than flashy look.

What My Feet Think of the New Arc’Teryx Acrux FL Approach Shoes

I was given the opportunity last year to attend the worldwide unveiling of the Arc’teryx Technical Performance Footwear line and for the past few months, I’ve been putting a pair of the Acrux FL Shoes (formerly Alpha FL) through the ringer.
