Constructed with a full grain leather vamp and action leather upper paired with nylon, it combines durability with moisture-wicking comfort. Available in men's sizes 3 through 15.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Last Through Hard Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Forced Entry boot's upper combines an action leather body with a full grain leather vamp, a pairing that resists abrasion and holds its structure through repeated wear in rough terrain. Leather construction that maintains its shape under stress means the boot continues to support the ankle and foot correctly over time, not just on the first wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFast On, Secure Off\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe side zipper with hook-and-loop tab lets the wearer pull the boot on or off in seconds, a practical advantage when gear changes happen under time pressure. The speed lace system and rustproof eyelets work alongside the zipper to lock the fit once the boot is on, so the wearer isn't choosing between quick access and a secure hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComfort and Cleanliness Over Long Shifts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe moisture-wicking lining pulls sweat away from the foot during extended wear, reducing heat buildup and discomfort on long shifts or patrols. The gusseted tongue seals the gap between the tongue and the upper, blocking dirt, sand, and debris from working into the boot and keeping the interior cleaner throughout a full day on foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlip-Resistant Outsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e provides grip across varied surfaces in all-weather conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide Zipper with Hook-and-Loop Tab:\u003c\/strong\u003e enables fast on\/off without unlacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed Lace System with Rustproof Eyelets:\u003c\/strong\u003e secures fit quickly and resists corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Grain Leather Vamp and Action Leather Upper:\u003c\/strong\u003e durable construction built for extended field use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGusseted Tongue:\u003c\/strong\u003e blocks dirt, sand, and debris from entering the boot\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoisture-Wicking Lining:\u003c\/strong\u003e manages sweat and heat during long wear\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\u003eRothco\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUpper Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAction leather with full grain leather vamp\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAdditional Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNylon\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLining\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMoisture-wicking\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOutsole\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSlip-resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eClosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSpeed lace system with rustproof eyelets; side zipper with hook-and-loop tab\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRustproof\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeather Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAll weather\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSizing\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMen's 3–15 (including half sizes 5.5–12.5)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (per pair, packaged)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4.25 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCertification\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eISO Certified\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 Warning: This product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause reproductive harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Forced Entry boot suits law enforcement officers, security professionals, military personnel, and outdoor workers who need an 8-inch duty boot with fast entry, reliable ankle support, and all-day moisture management.
