Beretta Wolf BOA

Mid-height ankle boots made for tough military use, with a very handy BOA tightening system and sturdy Vibram soles.

• Easy-to-use BOA tightening system
• Water resistant outer material and moisture-wicking lining
• Shock-absorbing Vibram soles
• Very good ankle support considering the shaft height
• Comes with OrthoLite insoles
• Made in Romania

Features

Beretta also manufactures high-quality clothing and footwear. Beretta Wolf BOA belongs in the latter category. It is an ankle-height tactical boot made for demanding use. One show weighs just c. 340 g / 12 oz (EUR 43/US 10), so these are one of the lightest in their category.

Tough and very shock-absorbing Vibram sole wraps around the sides of the shoe, protecting them from the sides to some extent. The tread pattern improves traction but the grooves aren’t too narrow and deep, so all the mud and crap won’t get stuck there forever. The shoes come with anti-bacterial OrthoLite insoles tailor-made for these shoes. They make the shoes more comfortable for your feet and allow the shoe to absorb shocks even better.

Use

This very lightweight shoe is made for very demanding military use but it is also perfectly suited for the civilian world, for example for hiking in a bit easier terrain, trail running, plus for active dog folks and other people that move a lot in the bush. Also very nice for exploring the urban jungle. Note that these are not waterproof Gore-Tex shoes, so walking through puddles and wading through a bog will get your socks wet.
