Albert 2 Pro

How important is proper footwear for military training and combat?
“Fit plays an all-important role in Warfighter footwear because improperly fitted boots can cause discomfort and impact performance. Improperly fitted boots can also increase the risk of injuries, including blisters and stress fractures.”

What was the goal of the footwear fit effort with the Aetrex Albert 2 Pro?
“The goal of the footwear fit effort is to improve the fit of combat boots for female service members, ultimately improving Soldier performance, enhancing comfort, and preventing injuries.”

Has the Albert 2 Pro been impactful in footwear design for women’s combat and safety footwear?
“With the help of the Albert 2 Pro, DEVCOM SC, NCTRF, and AFLCMC teams will be able to gain a better understanding of the unique requirements of female Warfighters’ feet. The effort will help to determine if there is a need for female-specific footwear "lasts” (the forms on which footwear is constructed) and which design and fit improvements are key.”
