{"product_id":"rocky-code-blue-5-inch-public-service-boot","title":"Rocky Code Blue 5-Inch Public Service Boot","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rocky Code Blue is a 5-inch non-metallic public service boot built for officers and security professionals who need all-day comfort and a professional appearance. Its cement construction keeps the boot light and flexible, and the oil- and slip-resistant rubber outsole performs across a range of working environments. Available in size 10 and 13, both in Regular width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt Light Without Sacrificing Structure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Code Blue's cement construction eliminates the bulk associated with traditional welt-built footwear, producing a boot that flexes naturally with the foot throughout a long shift. A fiberglass shank runs through the midsole to maintain longitudinal stability underfoot, so the boot bends where it should and holds firm where it needs to. For officers who spend hours on their feet, that combination of flexibility and support reduces fatigue in a way that a rigid or an overly soft build cannot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComfort Engineered for Extended Wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRocky's Comfort Track footbed sits directly underfoot and is designed to distribute pressure evenly across the foot over the course of a full shift. Beneath it, a Rocky Rebound EVA midsole absorbs shock at heel strike and during prolonged standing, cushioning the foot without adding significant weight. A KulKote thermal-regulating lining works to moderate temperature inside the boot, reducing the heat buildup that contributes to discomfort during extended wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProfessional Finish, Secure Fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nubuck upper is reinforced with TPU overlays at high-wear areas and finished to a high gloss, meeting the appearance standards expected in public service roles without requiring additional polish. A soft comfort collar lining reduces friction at the ankle, and a breathable mesh tongue helps manage moisture at the instep. Six-millimeter oval laces hold their knot more securely than standard round laces, reducing the need to re-tie during a shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-metallic construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e passes metal-detector screening without removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCement build:\u003c\/strong\u003e light and flexible compared to welt construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiberglass shank:\u003c\/strong\u003e adds longitudinal stability without metal content\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComfort Track footbed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rocky's pressure-distributing insole system\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRocky Rebound EVA midsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e shock absorption for extended standing and walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKulKote thermal-regulating lining:\u003c\/strong\u003e moderates interior boot temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOil- and slip-resistant rubber outsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e wider stance for stability across 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\u003eRocky\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCode Blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUpper material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNubuck with TPU overlays\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLining\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSoft comfort collar lining; KulKote thermal-regulating lining; breathable mesh tongue\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFootbed\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eComfort Track\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMidsole\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRocky Rebound EVA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShank\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFiberglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOutsole\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOil- and slip-resistant rubber, wider stance\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCement (non-metallic)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLaces\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6mm oval\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHigh gloss\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAvailable sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e10 Regular, 13 Regular\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (size 10 \/ Regular)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.88 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (size 13 \/ Regular)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3.41 lb\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 Code Blue suits law enforcement officers, security professionals, and public service personnel who need a non-metallic boot that clears metal detectors, maintains a high-gloss professional appearance, and holds up through a full shift on foot. The EVA midsole and Comfort Track footbed make it a reasonable choice for roles involving extended standing or walking on hard surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis boot carries no ballistic, stab-resistance, or protective-toe rating. It is not designed for environments where foot protection from impact, compression, or puncture is required. Buyers needing a safety-toe or puncture-resistant outsole should look at rated safety footwear instead. Only Regular width is listed for the available variants; wide or narrow fits are not confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the non-metallic construction mean the Code Blue will clear airport or courthouse metal detectors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rocky Code Blue boot is built with non-metallic materials throughout: no metal shank and no metal hardware. Officers who pass through security screening regularly can wear the Code Blue without removing their footwear, though screening protocols vary by facility and are outside Rocky's or BPZ's control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the KulKote lining actually do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eKulKote is a thermal-regulating lining used in the Rocky Code Blue to help moderate the temperature inside the boot. It works to reduce heat buildup during extended wear, which can contribute to foot fatigue and discomfort over a long shift, providing a more comfortable experience in warm or active-duty conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does cement construction differ from a traditionally welted boot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eIn a cement-constructed boot like the Rocky Code Blue, the upper is bonded directly to the outsole using adhesive rather than being stitched through a welt. This removes a layer of material between the foot and the ground, making the boot lighter and more flexible underfoot. The trade-off is that cement-built boots are generally not resoleable the way a Goodyear-welted boot can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eAre there any shipping restrictions on this boot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rocky Code Blue is standard footwear with no ballistic or body-armor classification, so it is not subject to the state body armor shipping restrictions that apply to plates, soft armor, or ballistic helmets.
