{"product_id":"first-tactical-urban-operator-h2o-side-zip-boot","title":"First Tactical Urban Operator H2O Side-Zip Tactical Boot","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe First Tactical Urban Operator H2O is a side-zip duty boot built for law enforcement and security professionals who need a polished, professional appearance alongside all-day waterproof performance. A full-grain polishable leather toe meets department dress standards, while a 100% waterproof and breathable membrane keeps feet dry in wet conditions. Available in sizes 4 through 12 (including half sizes) in Regular width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Duty, On and Off Quickly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Urban Operator H2O uses a side-zip entry with YKK VISLON zippers, a system chosen for long-term reliability under repeated daily use. A molded zipper cover keeps the zipper pull firmly in place so it does not snag on gear or uniform. Getting the boot on and off quickly matters at shift changes and during extended operations, and the side-zip design delivers that without sacrificing a secure fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWaterproof Without the Weight Penalty\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100% waterproof and breathable membrane handles wet environments, including rain, puddles, and damp terrain, while still allowing moisture vapor to escape so feet stay comfortable over long shifts. Waterproofing that traps heat and sweat defeats its own purpose; the breathable construction addresses both sides of that problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAthletic Performance in a Tactical Platform\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Urban Operator H2O is built around a Torsion Flex fiberglass reinforced composite shank that is 75% lighter than a comparable steel shank. That weight reduction translates directly into less fatigue over a full shift. The durable rubber outsole uses a slip- and oil-resistant compound with an aggressive, evenly spaced lug pattern for enhanced flexibility and maximum traction on varied surfaces, including pavement, wet tile, and uneven terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull-grain polishable leather toe:\u003c\/strong\u003e meets professional appearance standards for duty environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% waterproof and breathable membrane:\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps feet dry in wet conditions while allowing vapor to escape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYKK VISLON side-zip with molded cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e fast entry and exit; zipper pull stays firmly in place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTorsion Flex composite shank:\u003c\/strong\u003e fiberglass reinforced, 75% lighter than steel, supports natural foot flex.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlip- and oil-resistant rubber outsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e aggressive lug pattern for traction and flexibility on varied surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFirst Tactical\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUrban Operator H2O\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eClosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSide-zip with YKK VISLON zipper\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUpper Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFull-grain polishable leather (toe)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWaterproofing\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e100% waterproof and breathable membrane\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShank\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTorsion Flex fiberglass reinforced composite, 75% lighter than steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOutsole\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDurable rubber, slip- and oil-resistant, aggressive lug pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAvailable Sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4, 5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 11.5, 12\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRegular\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Urban Operator H2O suits law enforcement officers, security professionals, and duty personnel who need a boot that meets polished appearance standards, handles wet-weather patrol conditions, and can be donned and doffed quickly at shift changes.
