REVIEW: LALO Shadow Intruder

Sure! Please provide the text you would like me to translate.

LALO Shoes are something special because they are designed to make walking easier. We are excited to see how they perform, so we took a closer look and tested the Shadow Intruder in the 5 Inch version. Let's review them here.

This is how the sticker on the box looks like - here is a different pair in Ranger Green.

And these are the technical specifications of the shoe according to the manufacturer. "Ultimate Special Forces tactical boot" is quite a statement. We want to see for ourselves ... 
Where should we start with so many features on the shoe. We'll go through them as we notice them. At first glance, we immediately noticed the KPU grille on the side, which prevents dirt from entering the shoe. This KPU grille is made of rubber and is designed with lamellas. Here is a close-up of how a thorn pierced through it during one of our trainings.Beneath the KPU grille is a moisture-wicking, hydrophobic, antimicrobial lining.
However, the outer side of the shoe is mainly made of full-grain leather. At the front and continuing on the sides, there is a protective layer made of carbonized rubber. This is attached and protects the shoe from abrasion.The shoe is laced up traditionally, with rubberized holes. This prevents the laces from slipping through easily.On top, there is a pocket under the tongue to store the laces. "The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday" - a motto many will be familiar with from the US Navy SEALs. A fitting and stylish detail that provides motivation when you put on the shoes.Another important detail is the cutout at the Achilles heel. This allows the shoe to flex, making it flexible and not hindering movement.Beneath that is a textured rubber that is part of the sole. This is intended for special units, as it is necessary to attach fins to the shoe. Unfortunately, our personal use case does not involve diving.
Now let's get to the essence: the sole. Multi-Density EVA padding is designed to absorb impact and provide support when leaving the ground with your toes. You can immediately feel this when you wear the shoes. It was initially very unfamiliar for us. The impact is noticeably softer than with other shoes. A very comfortable and soft feeling.
