UK Gear Win Approval to Supply US Army

Online, June 17, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Over the coming year, UK Gear's PT-03 model as designed and developed with the British Army Physical Training Corps, will be distributed across the US Army's reception centres after being subject to a rigorous year long trial as part of the US Army's Running Shoe Program.

Commented CEO David Hinde "This highly prized approval is the successful culmination of many years intensive work, and I am delighted that the PT03 running shoe has been chosen by the US Army. We are on the way of meeting our ambition of being the training shoe of choice for military personnel worldwide".

The shoes have been tested in some of the toughest conditions in the world, from Aldershot to Afghanistan - and are already worn by the British and German military.

UK Gear has produced the first commercially marketed product in the world to have earned the right to bear the British Army's famous crossed swords insignia.
