{"product_id":"rothco-forced-entry-tactical-waterproof-boot-6-inch","title":"Rothco Forced Entry Tactical Waterproof Boot 6 Inch","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco Forced Entry Tactical Waterproof Boot is a 6-inch black tactical boot built for law enforcement, military personnel, and outdoor professionals who need reliable waterproofing and all-day support. The leather and nylon upper pairs a 100% waterproof membrane with a steel shank and slip-resistant cup sole. Sizes run from 5 through 14.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Keep Water Out\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Forced Entry boot's 100% waterproof membrane blocks rain, mud, and standing water from reaching the foot, so wet terrain stays a traction problem rather than a comfort one. The gusseted tongue reinforces that seal by closing the gap between laces and upper, keeping debris and water from working their way inside during active movement. For buyers who operate in variable or wet conditions, this construction removes a variable that would otherwise cut a shift short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStable Footing on Varied Terrain\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slip-resistant cup sole is designed to maintain grip across surfaces including pavement, gravel, mud, and uneven ground where footing matters most. Beneath the midsole, a steel shank runs the length of the boot to resist torsional flex, distributing load more evenly and reducing the fatigue that builds during extended standing or walking. Together, these two elements address the two most common sources of lower-leg fatigue in a duty boot: sole compression and lateral instability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails That Hold Up Over Time\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Forced Entry boot uses rust-proof hardware throughout, so repeated exposure to wet conditions won't degrade the lacing system or eyelets. The padded leather collar and suede collar lining add structure at the ankle without creating pressure points. The leather and nylon upper is cold-weather rated, making the boot a year-round option rather than a fair-weather one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Waterproof Membrane:\u003c\/strong\u003e full waterproofing against rain, mud, and wet terrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlip-Resistant Cup Sole:\u003c\/strong\u003e friction and slip-resistant outer sole for grip on varied surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Shank:\u003c\/strong\u003e built-in shank for torsional support and fatigue reduction during extended wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGusseted Tongue:\u003c\/strong\u003e seals the lace opening against debris and water intrusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRust-Proof Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e corrosion-resistant eyelets and hardware for long-term reliability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePadded Leather and Suede Collar:\u003c\/strong\u003e structured ankle collar with suede lining\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\u003eLeather\/Nylon\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSole Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRubber\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCollar\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePadded leather with suede lining\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWaterproof\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e100% waterproof membrane\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\u003eHardware\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRust-proof\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCold Weather Rated\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYes\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\u003eShaft Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAvailable Sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 12, 13, 14\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(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and 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 Tactical Waterproof Boot suits law enforcement officers, military personnel, security professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts who need a waterproof, cold-weather-capable 6-inch duty boot with solid ankle support for extended wear on varied terrain.
