The American brand "5.11 Tactical" was founded in the US state of California. Upon climber Royal Robbins reaching the top of a climb in Yosemite California, he noticed that the trousers that he was wearing were not suited for climbing. Robbins decided that he needed to design something more durable and with better functionality. Began manufacturing pants by the name of "5.11" in 1968.
The name "5.11" comes from the highest rock climbing difficulty level that was listed in the Yosemite Decimal System at Yosemite National Park, which was developed by Robbins in the 1950s.
In 2003, the brand acquired its current form. Now it focuses not only on climbers and outdoor, but also supplies its products to the FBI, the military, police, firefighters, rescuers, the Coast Guard, the Mountain Service and other services around the world.
The FBI has been working with the "5.11" brand since 1992, when it began using its pants to train its agents.
More infoMilitary footwear is characterized by increased durability. In addition, Army boots have other features that predetermine them for tactical use. Don't be fooled, quality shoes cost something and it will pay dear to save on shoes.
A shoe can be of high quality or low quality in several criteria. The first criterion is the material used. Quality material is the basis (but even a shoe made of quality materials can be bad in a result). The second criterion is the processing of the shoe. It is the cutting of leather, sewing, or gluing of individual parts of the shoe, installation of the membrane, etc. The third criterion is the shape of the shoe, especially the inner shape. You often recognize a quality shoe as soon as you put it on. Do you feel that it is made exactly for your foot? Better manufacturers produce shoes separately for the male and female foot. So how do you recognize a quality shoe? It is made of quality materials, is well processed (seams, gluing, cutting, connection of individual parts) and has a suitable anatomical shape. Only the combination of these three main criteria gives quality, good shoes in the results.
