{"product_id":"rothco-forced-entry-deployment-boots-side-zipper-8-inch","title":"Rothco Forced Entry Tactical Deployment Boots with Side Zipper 8 Inch","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco Forced Entry Deployment Boot is an 8-inch tactical duty boot designed for military personnel, law enforcement officers, security professionals, and outdoor users who need all-day support with fast on\/off access. Built with suede leather uppers, breathable mesh panels, a cushioned EVA midsole, steel shank, and a slip-resistant mountaineer rubber outsole, these boots combine the comfort profile of a running shoe with the structural demands of field duty. Available in AR 670-1 Coyote Brown and Tan, in regular and wide widths, with men's sizing from 4 through 14 depending on color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for All-Day Field Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rothco Forced Entry Deployment Boot is constructed with suede leather uppers and breathable mesh panels that allow airflow during extended wear, reducing heat buildup on long shifts or patrols. The padded collar adds ankle cushioning, and the cushioned EVA midsole absorbs impact across varied terrain. A steel shank runs through the midsole to provide torsional rigidity and arch support, a meaningful difference from standard footwear when standing or moving for hours at a stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTraction Across Varied Terrain\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mountaineer rubber outsole is slip-resistant and designed to maintain grip on uneven or mixed surfaces. Whether the surface is pavement, gravel, or field terrain, the outsole geometry is intended to keep footing stable during patrol, rapid movement, or static post duty. The outsole pairs with the steel shank to keep the boot from flexing in ways that would compromise footing or fatigue the arch over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFast Entry and a Secure Lace Fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA side zipper with a hook-and-loop tab lets the wearer get the boot on or off without unlacing, useful in rapid-response situations or at the end of a long shift. For situations that call for a locked-down fit, the rustproof eyelet lacing system (8 eyelets) provides a customizable, stable hold that does not loosen under sustained activity. Both closure systems work independently, so the wearer can zip in quickly and lace down when time allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-inch shaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e provides ankle coverage and support for field and duty use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide zipper with hook-and-loop tab:\u003c\/strong\u003e enables fast entry and removal without unlacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuede leather uppers with mesh panels:\u003c\/strong\u003e durable construction with built-in ventilation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEVA midsole and mountaineer rubber outsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e cushioned underfoot with slip-resistant traction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel shank:\u003c\/strong\u003e adds torsional rigidity and arch support for extended wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRustproof eyelets (8):\u003c\/strong\u003e corrosion-resistant lacing hardware for a lasting secure fit\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\u003eShaft Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUpper Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSuede leather with breathable mesh panels\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMidsole\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCushioned EVA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOutsole\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSlip-resistant mountaineer rubber\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShank\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSteel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEyelets\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8, rustproof\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eClosures\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLaces and side zipper with hook-and-loop tab\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColors Available\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAR 670-1 Coyote Brown, Tan\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWidths Available\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRegular, Wide\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMen's Sizing (Regular)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4–14 (Tan); 5–13 (Coyote Brown)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMen's Sizing (Wide)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6–13 (Tan); 7–12 (Coyote Brown)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (per pair)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3.8 lb\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\u003eGender\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMen's (adult)\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\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 Warning:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product contains Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other 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 Rothco Forced Entry Deployment Boot suits male adults in military, law enforcement, security, or outdoor roles who need an 8-inch duty boot with all-day comfort, reliable ankle support, and the ability to get the boot on and off quickly. The wide-width option makes these accessible to buyers who find standard-width tactical boots too narrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThese boots are men's sizing only and are not listed in women's sizing. No waterproof membrane or waterproof rating is stated; the all-weather designation does not indicate waterproofing. These boots are not rated for electrical hazard, chemical exposure, or any specific occupational safety standard beyond ISO certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the shaft height, and what closures do these boots use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Forced Entry Deployment Boot has an 8-inch shaft. It uses two independent closure systems: a traditional lace-up with 8 rustproof eyelets for a locked-down fit, and a side zipper with a hook-and-loop tab for fast entry or removal without unlacing. Both closures can be used together or independently depending on the situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eAre these boots available in wide widths?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The Rothco Forced Entry Deployment Boot is available in both regular and wide widths in both color options. Wide sizing in Tan runs from size 6 to 13; wide sizing in AR 670-1 Coyote Brown runs from size 7 to 12. Regular sizing extends to size 14 in Tan and size 13 in Coyote Brown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the steel shank do, and why does it matter for duty use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe steel shank in the Rothco Forced Entry Deployment Boot runs through the midsole to limit torsional flex and provide arch support. For wearers who spend long hours on their feet, on patrol, at a post, or in the field, the shank reduces the fatigue that comes from the boot bending underfoot with each step and helps maintain stable footing on uneven surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eAre these boots waterproof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Forced Entry Deployment Boot carries an all-weather rating and is constructed with suede leather uppers and breathable mesh panels. No waterproof membrane or waterproof rating is stated for these boots. Buyers who need confirmed waterproofing for wet environments should verify this before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the AR 670-1 Coyote Brown color designation mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eAR 670-1 refers to the U.S. Army regulation that specifies uniform and equipment color standards, including the specific shade of Coyote Brown approved for Army wear. The Rothco Forced Entry Deployment Boot in AR 670-1 Coyote Brown is matched to that regulated color standard, making it suitable for wear with AR 670-1 compliant uniforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs a size chart available for these boots?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eRothco provides a shoe size chart. Contact us if you need sizing guidance before ordering. The Rothco Forced Entry Deployment Boot is available in regular and wide widths, and selecting the right width is as important as selecting the right length size for a proper fit in a duty
