01/12/2009

Provider of gear for the military, law enforcement, industrial security and outdoor markets Blackhawk! Products Group has entered the men's footwear market with the launch of its Tanto Light Hiker; an all-purpose trail shoe designed for both outdoor and casual indoor wear.

The new shoe is said to be comfortable, lightweight and breathable as well as helping to enhance performance. According to the company, it offers excellent pronation control by absorbing the shock of each step and keeping the foot properly aligned on flat, even surfaces or on uneven trails. The heel is semi-rigid for additional support and the top cap is reinforced for protection and durability.

The custom-moulded, anti-microbial Ortholite footbed is breathable and quick drying, and the injected insole board is waterproof. The sole features multi-directional lugs for better traction and its self-cleaning feature keeps debris from gathering between the lugs.

The Tanto Light Hiker is made from grey or tan nubuck suede with a lightweight, breathable nylon mesh upper and a quick access bungee lacing system with a cord lock fastening.
