The footwear is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 50°C, handles varied terrain from abrasive stony ground to desert sands and supports the wearer’s foot when carrying heavy loads.
A variety of the Lowa boot designed specifically for women will be available for the first time.
Previously, female troops wore shoes designed for men, which are often too wide at the heel.
