Named after the legendary heavily armed foot soldiers of ancient Greece, the PARABELLUM® HOPLITE™ is engineered for modern operators who require absolute agility, unyielding endurance, and elite traction on the toughest terrain. This high-performance field boot bridges the gap between rugged combat readiness and fast-moving tactical athletic performance.

At its core, the HOPLITE™ features a world-renowned, authentic Vibram® outsole matrix, giving operators an unparalleled grip advantage in unpredictable environments. Paired with a precise, micro-adjustable dial fit system, this boot ensures a secure, tailored lockdown that will not loosen or shift when the mission intensifies.

- Advanced Up Skin R231/1.4mm Upper: Constructed with a premium 1.4mm Up Skin R231 technical composite upper layer. This cutting-edge material provides exceptional tear and abrasion resistance while optimizing breathability and water resilience, completely shifting the balance away from heavy traditional materials.

- Integrated TPU Toe Cap Shield: Armed with a heavy-duty thermal polyurethane (TPU) molded toe cap. This low-profile barrier actively absorbs heavy forward impacts and deflects sharp jagged debris without introducing unnecessary weight or bulk.

- Recoil™ Sole & Carbon Fiber Core: Grounded on a proprietary Recoil™ shock-absorbing sole matrix and reinforced with an internal carbon fiber shank backbone. This elite technical suspension evenly disperses heavy downward forces, guards against torsional twisting on broken terrain, and maximizes energy return with every step.

- Genuine Anti-Slip Rubber Outsole: Features an engineered technical rubber outsole compound designed with aggressive, multi-directional tread geometry. It provides unyielding traction and reliable braking control across slick urban concrete, oil-covered steps, and muddy slopes.

- Ultrafit Heat-Release Ventilation Insole: Equipped with an ergonomic Ultrafit polyurethane cushioning footbed featuring advanced heat-release channels. This interior system pulls warm air and moisture away from the bottom of the foot, ensuring a dry, cool, and blister-free internal microclimate.

1. Remove the Insole first

2. Dry brush by debris:
Let any wet mud dry completely first. Use a medium-stiff nylon brush to knock loose all crusty dirt, mud, and dust from the upper, outsole treads, and hardware eyelets. Do not add water yet—brushing dry prevents you from rubbing wet mud deeper into nylon pores or roughout fibers.

3. Targeted upper material wash: Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap or a dedicated footwear cleaner. Use a soft brush or microfiber cloth to clean the upper
For Leather/Smooth panels: Wipe down gently. Avoid heavy soaking.

For Suede/Roughout: Use minimal moisture and a specialized suede brush to avoid flattening the nap.

For Nylon/Cordura panels: Scrub gently with a toothbrush to extract embedded grit from the weave.

Dial System Care: Gently tap or use compressed air around the mechanical dial to blow out any fine sand or silt trapped in the cable housing. Do not force the dial if grit is inside.

Material Specific Conditioning:
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream boot polish to restore moisture and prevent the hide from drying out and cracking over time.
