The Salomon Speed Assault is designed to provide you with optimal grip and comfort as you traverse uneven terrain. The upper is crafted with a combination of anti-debris mesh and durable Nubuck leather, providing your feet with complete protection. Non-reflective materials allow you to move stealthily while the closed hooks and gusseted tongue ensure a snug and secure fit. For added comfort and support, these boots feature heel foam, a molded EVA midsole, and a 3D mesh lining. An OrthoLite sockliner prevents odor-causing microbes, while the non-marking Contagrip outsole ensures superior durability and grip. This is all complemented by the 4D chassis which offers dynamic cushioning and stability, giving you the confidence to take on any adventure.
Lightweight Design
The Salomon Speed Assault Boots are designed to be incredibly lightweight, making them ideal for fast-paced operations that require agility and speed. This is achieved through the use of lightweight materials, such as anti-debris mesh, which allows for breathability and prevents the boots from becoming weighed down by dirt and debris.
Durable Construction
These boots are made from high-quality materials, including anti-debris mesh and a protective rubber toe cap, which are built to last and withstand harsh conditions. The anti-debris mesh prevents small rocks and other debris from getting inside the boots, while the rubber toe cap protects the front of the foot from impacts.
Non-Slip Soles
The Contagrip outsoles on the Speed Assault Boots provide excellent traction on a variety of surfaces, making them ideal for both urban and outdoor environments. The soles are designed to grip the ground and prevent slipping, even in wet or slippery conditions.
Quick-Lacing System
The Speed Assault Boots feature a unique quick-lacing system that allows for easy and efficient on and off, without compromising on the secure fit needed for demanding tasks. This feature is especially important for military and law enforcement personnel who need to be able to quickly and easily change their footwear depending on the situation. The lacing system ensures a secure fit and prevents the boots from slipping or sliding during use.

In short. The Speed Assaults are holding up EXTREMELY well. Every benefit mentioned in my first review is spot on, but now I can say almost 2 years into ownership they are still in great shape.
Without a doubt I will buy another pair when these finally wear out. The chevron grips on the soles are still in really good shape and highly serviceable.
Caveat, I wear them in an urban environment, with occasional range trips. They hold up well outdoors in my experience even on dealing wth caliche clay. Caliche clay turns your shoes into something that resembles a snowshoe or Big Foot’s “big foot”. Went to the range yesterday (aka the pasture) and when I cleaned the mud and clay off my boots I found a 7.62x51 casing and two 5.56 casings. Yet my boots hold up. I still appreciate how quickly they dry out and my dawgs love them after a day of running through airports with my 25lb pack. (I carry a lot of stuff) granted it’s not a 90lb ruck, but they still keep my knees from screaming at me. So I have not worn these scrambling across scree on a mountain, so I can’t speak to how they would perform or hold up in hat AO, but I would probably wear my 4D GTX’s for that anyway. I’m just very, very pleased with this boot.
I will definitely buy Speed Assaults again, whenever the ones I own wear out.

These are a much different shoe than the 4D's and Jungle Boots. For one, these are much lighter. The 4D's are super heavy, but heavier than That this boot and my jungle boots. As far as comfort, so far the Speed Assaults beat both my 4D's and LWJB's. The area around the ankle is really different though. It's a soft flexible foam type material that cups around your ankle. So far so good on that. One thing these boots do not have, that my other two Salomon's have and something I like on all my bots is a pull loop on the back of the boot, to put your finger in when pulling the boot on when you need to get the boots on quick-fast. As others have noted, I cannot speak to the durability, however Salomon's have always been a durable boot, even when worn in less than friendly areas.
I highly recommend this boot with the caveat that I don't yet know how durable it will be. It is one of the most comfortable mids I've worn. As a note, it does run a hair small. You might want to 1/2 size up. In fact I wish I did, but they are out of stock, and it's not too small, but if I could order again, I'd order 1/2 size up.

The only downfall is the lace garage is hard to tuck the laces into, due to where the tongue sits, the laces overlap.
