A suede leather upper with breathable mesh panels, an EVA midsole, rubber mountaineer outsole, and a steel shank work together to deliver structure and mobility in demanding conditions. Available in regular and wide widths, in whole sizes 7 through 13 (wide sizes 9 through 12).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Move\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe suede leather upper is paired with breathable mesh panels, which reduces heat buildup and allows the foot to move naturally during extended wear. For personnel who spend long hours on their feet across uneven ground, that combination of structure and airflow makes a practical difference in fatigue over the course of a shift or patrol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Foundation That Holds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EVA midsole absorbs impact underfoot, while the rubber outsole with a mountaineer sole pattern provides grip on loose, rocky, or uneven surfaces. Together they form a layered platform suited to mixed terrain including gravel, dirt, and pavement that field and outdoor use regularly involves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStability and Secure Fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA steel shank runs through the midsole to resist torsional flex during lateral movement and challenging maneuvers, reducing ankle fatigue on uneven ground. The comfort collar at the boot's top edge improves the fit around the ankle, and the rustproof 5-eyelet lace system holds the closure securely without corroding in wet or humid conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuede leather and mesh upper:\u003c\/strong\u003e combines structure with breathability for extended wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEVA midsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e cushions impact across varied terrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRubber mountaineer outsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e provides grip on loose and uneven surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel shank:\u003c\/strong\u003e adds torsional stability during lateral and challenging maneuvers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComfort collar:\u003c\/strong\u003e improves ankle fit and overall feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRustproof 5-eyelet lace system:\u003c\/strong\u003e secure, corrosion-resistant closure\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\u003eUpper Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSuede leather with breathable mesh\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMidsole\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEVA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOutsole\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRubber, mountaineer sole pattern\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\u003eClosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRustproof 5-eyelet lace system\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShaft Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDesert Tan\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWidth Options\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRegular (sizes 7–13), Wide (sizes 9–12)\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\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\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThese boots suit active-duty personnel, security professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts who need a structured 6-inch tactical boot for mixed terrain in a desert tan colorway.
