STRIKER MID SUMMER NexX4

STRIKER SUMMER MID NexX4 is designed for situations where you need durable professional footwear, but heat, perspiration and long periods of movement are a bigger concern than rain.

The upper is made from velour split leather with an epoxy surface finish. There is no waterproof membrane inside the boot. Instead, it uses Coolmax – a lightweight textile lining designed to move moisture away from the foot and dry quickly. During duty, training or long marches in warm conditions, moisture generated inside the boot can therefore escape more easily than through a membrane construction.

Underfoot is the F117 sole system. Softer polyurethane layers absorb part of the impact energy with each step, reducing the amount of shock transferred directly to the heel and joints. A firmer polyurethane frame runs around the lower part of the upper. It protects the boot from abrasion against obstacles while also helping to keep the foot stable inside the boot; the construction is also designed to withstand the stresses associated with fast roping.

The bottom of the sole features NexX4™ – a specially developed lightweight material designed for direct contact with the ground. It combines high abrasion resistance, flexibility and grip while allowing the overall weight of the sole to be significantly reduced. Its deep, multidirectional tread provides reliable traction across different surfaces, while the material maintains its properties even at very low temperatures.

Inside the sole is Carbitex MonoFlex, a thin carbon-fibre reinforcement. Its distinctive feature is its unidirectional construction. In one direction it provides support and helps prevent excessive flexing of the foot over rocks, roots and uneven ground, while remaining highly flexible in the opposite direction. This allows the boot to bend naturally during each step while giving the foot a more stable platform underneath.

The soft NUBE insole with activated carbon also performs exceptionally well, adding extra cushioning and helping to reduce odour during prolonged wear.

The 16 cm height provides ankle support without turning the boot into a traditional high-cut model. Two-zone lacing allows the fit to be adjusted separately over the foot and around the ankle.

STRIKER SUMMER MID NexX4 is designed primarily for summer duty, training, shooting ranges, work and movement in the field. Its priorities are breathability, low weight, traction and stability – not prolonged protection against water.
