Metro Air 9 Side-Zip Tactical Boot","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Original S.W.A.T. Metro Air 9 Side-Zip is a law enforcement uniform boot built for long shifts on hard urban surfaces. It combines an action leather and 1000-denier nylon upper with air-cushion technology and an all-non-metallic construction that passes airport security screening without removal. Available in Regular and Wide widths across a range of sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Long Shifts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Metro Air 9 Side-Zip uses air technology in the midsole to increase cushioning underfoot, reducing fatigue during extended duty hours on concrete and pavement. For officers who spend most of a shift standing or walking hard surfaces, that cushioning difference accumulates over the course of a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFast On, Secure Fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA YKK side-zipper in a durable Vislon pattern lets the boot go on and come off quickly, useful at the start and end of a shift or during a gear change. A hook-and-loop tab-stay closure keeps the zipper secured once the boot is on, so the opening does not work loose during active wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDurable Construction, Easy Upkeep\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper is double-stitched with 3-ply bonded nylon thread, which resists seam separation under repeated stress. The heel and toe are polishable for uniform appearance standards. A polyurethane collar wipes clean easily, and a gusseted tongue seals the boot opening against dirt and debris working in from outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAction leather and 1000-denier nylon upper\u003c\/strong\u003e with polishable heel and toe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYKK Vislon side-zipper\u003c\/strong\u003e with hook-and-loop tab-stay closure for quick entry and a secure fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble-stitched upper\u003c\/strong\u003e sewn with 3-ply bonded nylon thread for extended seam durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAir-cushion technology\u003c\/strong\u003e for increased comfort and shock absorption on hard surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-non-metallic components\u003c\/strong\u003e for airport-security compatibility without boot removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoam-padded collar and tongue\u003c\/strong\u003e with PU collar surface for breathability and easy cleaning\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\u003eOriginal S.W.A.T.\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMetro Air 9 Side-Zip\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUpper material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAction leather \/ 1000-denier nylon\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eThread\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3-ply bonded nylon, double-stitched\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eZipper\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYKK Vislon side-zip with hook-and-loop tab-stay\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCollar\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFoam-padded, PU surface\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMetal components\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAvailable widths\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRegular, Wide\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAvailable sizes (Regular)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5, 6, 8.5, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 12\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAvailable sizes (Wide)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e11, 13\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApproximate weight range\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.91 lb (size 5 Regular) – 4.35 lb (size 13 Wide) per pair\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 Metro Air 9 Side-Zip suits law enforcement officers and security professionals who wear a uniform boot for full-day shifts on hard indoor or urban surfaces and need a boot that clears airport-style metal detectors without removal. The Wide width option accommodates broader feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis boot carries no ballistic or stab-protection rating and is not body armor.

Officers who pass through airport security as part of their duties can keep the boot on through the checkpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the air technology in this boot actually do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Metro Air 9 Side-Zip uses air-cushion technology in its construction to increase underfoot cushioning and absorb impact. This is intended to reduce foot and leg fatigue during long duty shifts spent standing or walking on concrete and other hard urban surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the side-zip closure work, and will it stay secure during active use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Metro Air 9 Side-Zip uses a YKK zipper in a Vislon (tooth-style) pattern for smooth, reliable operation. A hook-and-loop tab-stay closure locks the zipper in place once the boot is on, preventing it from working open during movement or active duty wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow durable is the upper construction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Metro Air 9 Side-Zip upper is double-stitched throughout using 3-ply bonded nylon thread, which resists seam separation under repeated stress and extended wear. The action leather and 1000-denier nylon materials are chosen for durability in uniform-duty conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs the collar easy to clean, and does the boot keep debris out?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Metro Air 9 Side-Zip has a polyurethane collar surface that wipes clean without special treatment. A gusseted tongue seals the boot's entry point, reducing the amount of dirt and debris that can work inside during wear on dusty or outdoor surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original S.W.A.T.","offers":[{"title":"10 \/ Regular","offer_id":67031720427891,"sku":"KRC-OS-123201-10","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 \/ Regular","offer_id":67031720460659,"sku":"KRC-OS-123201-10.5","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Regular","offer_id":67031720493427,"sku":"KRC-OS-123201-11","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 \/ Regular","offer_id":67031720526195,"sku":"KRC-OS-123201-6","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 \/ Regular","offer_id":67031720558963,"sku":"KRC-OS-123201-8.5","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 \/ Regular","offer_id":67031720591731,"sku":"KRC-OS-123201-9.5","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 \/ Wide","offer_id":67031720624499,"sku":"KRC-OS-123201W-11","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 \/ Regular","offer_id":67031720657267,"sku":"KRC-OS-123201-12","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 \/ Regular","offer_id":67031720690035,"sku":"KRC-OS-123201-5","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13 \/ Wide","offer_id":67031720722803,"sku":"KRC-OS-123201W-13","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/os-12320-sq.jpg?v=1791012607","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/products\/original-swat-metro-air-9-side-zip-tactical-boot","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
