Overview
Current standard issue combat boots do not offer much protection against anti-personnel landmines. Our blast and fragment resistant combat boot with its unique and revolutionary technology is designed to mitigate soft tissue and skeletal damage to the feet by deflecting blast from anti-personnel landmines.
Features
The Global Armour Blast Protective Combat Boot is
designed to be used as standard military issue. It offers soldiers the psychological comfort of
knowing that they are equipped with a measure of protection against anti-personnel landmines.
Critical to the working soldier, it also offers physical comfort in that it is flexible and
light and will not impede movement while operating in any type of terrain.
The key to
the Blast Protective Combat Boots deflection capability is its unique protective sole system.
Developed with patented technologies the sole system is based on specially woven fabric bonded
together with specially constructed sole and heel plates and heel plug. This gives the boot its
underlying strength. The specially woven fabric can provide a significant degree of protection
against blast temperatures generated by certain common types of anti-personnel landmines. The
dual density sole is made of rubber midsole and nitrile rubber outsole that is directly moulded
onto the upper. This dual density direct soling makes our boots lightweight with elastic,
absolutely waterproof soles. The rubber midsole, with its notable surface finish, consistency
and processibility, allows for longer wear time with less fatigue, as well as increased shock
absorbency and energy return.

Performance
The boots have been independently tested by the Royal Military College of Science ("RMCS") in the United Kingdom against certain common types of anti-personnel landmine of different explosive charge sizes. The test was conducted under strict conditions against what we believe to be two of the most likely scenarios. Firstly, stepping on an anti-personnel landmine at the heel and secondly, at the ball of the foot. Our test results show that our boots can provide substantial protection against anti-personnel landmines with up to 70g of explosives. These tests were not uniformly successful against all anti-personnel landmine types tested, but they did show that our boots can provide substantial protection against high velocity fragments, debris and hot gas streams created during blasts from particular common types of anti-personnel landmines at certain explosive charges

WR combat boots
Pittards WR Combat leather has been specifically designed for Ministry of Defence standard UK/SC/5611 Issue 1. It is widely accepted within the industry as a very reliable product, having been manufactured to the highest standards. Passes the SATRA Age Bond sole adhesion test.
Water resistance
Pittards WR leather utilises a unique tanning process, which results in improved water repellency ensuring that the foot stays protected from external moisture in all weather conditions. WR leather will absorb less than 25% of its weight after a two-hour period.
Colour fastness
Pittards WR process guarantees excellent colour fastness to both dry and wet rubbing, as well as to perspiration.
Dry soft
Pittards WR leather has been designed to keep its softness and suppleness throughout the life of the product. It should always be allowed to dry naturally away from direct heat.
Corrected grain
Pittards version of the classic corrected grain leather. Smooth, shiny and hard wearing. It conforms to the Ministry of Defence standard UK/SC/5611 Issue 1.

Overview
The Global Armour Combat Boot is a high performance boot using dual density rubber soles rather than PVC or PU soles. The benefits of dual density rubber soles are:
The dual density sole is made of rubber midsole and nitrile rubber outsole that is directly moulded onto the upper. This dual density direct soling makes our boots lightweight with elastic, absolutely waterproof soles
The rubber midsole, with its notable surface finish,
consistency and processibility, allows for longer wear time with less fatigue, as well as
increased shock absorbency and energy return. It is anti-static, fire-resistant and maintains
superior adhesion to the outsole
Compared with single density vulcanised rubber sole or
polyurethane midsole and rubber outsole, dual density rubber midsoles and outsoles provide
higher wearing comfort, better resistance to hydrolysis hence increased shelf-life and have
better insulation properties against cold and heat
