{"product_id":"rothco-guardian-ar-670-1-coyote-brown-8-inch-tactical-boot","title":"Rothco Guardian AR 670-1 Coyote Brown 8-Inch Tactical Boot","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco Guardian is an 8-inch men's tactical boot in AR 670-1 coyote brown, built for first responders, active-duty personnel, security professionals, and EMTs who need waterproof protection, all-day cushioning, and reliable traction across varied terrain. The boot is TAA compliant, AR 670-1 compliant, and AFI 36-2903 compliant, and has been tested to ASTM F3445 for oil and slip resistance. Sizes run from 5 through 13, with per-size weights listed in the specifications table below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWaterproof Construction That Keeps Working\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Guardian's H2O Lock Weather Protection System combines a waterproof full-grain leather and polyester upper with a waterproof internal lining, so the barrier against moisture runs through the entire boot rather than relying on a single layer. A moisture-wicking mesh liner sits underneath, allowing sweat to move away from the foot while the outer lining keeps water from entering. The gusseted tongue seals the entry point against dirt and debris, which matters on patrols where loose terrain gets kicked up with every step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCushioning Built for Long Shifts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Comfort Lock Fatigue Defense System pairs a molded EVA footbed with an EVA midsole to absorb impact from hard surfaces over hours of continuous wear. A nylon shank runs through the midsole to add structural support and resist torsional flex, keeping the foot stable on uneven ground without adding significant weight. The lightweight, flexible bonded construction lets the boot move with the foot rather than against it, reducing the fatigue that builds during extended patrols or emergency response shifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrip and Traction on Any Surface\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ground Lock Terrain Endurance System uses a high-grip lug rubber outsole that is both non-slip and oil-resistant, tested to ASTM F3445 to confirm those properties under standardized conditions. The non-marking outsole design prevents scuff marks on indoor flooring, so the Guardian moves cleanly between outdoor terrain and interior environments without leaving a trace. The lug pattern provides the mechanical grip needed on wet, oily, or loose surfaces where a flat sole would lose purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eH2O Lock System:\u003c\/strong\u003e waterproof full-grain leather and polyester upper with waterproof internal lining and moisture-wicking mesh liner\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGusseted tongue:\u003c\/strong\u003e seals against dirt and debris entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComfort Lock System:\u003c\/strong\u003e molded EVA footbed and EVA midsole for shock absorption and all-day cushioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNylon shank:\u003c\/strong\u003e structural support and torsional stability through the midsole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGround Lock outsole:\u003c\/strong\u003e high-grip lug rubber, non-slip, oil-resistant, non-marking, tested to ASTM F3445\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e TAA compliant, AR 670-1 compliant, AFI 36-2903 compliant\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\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAR 670-1 Coyote Brown\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUpper material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFull-grain leather and polyester\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLining\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWaterproof internal lining with moisture-wicking mesh liner\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFootbed\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMolded EVA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMidsole\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEVA with nylon shank\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOutsole\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHigh-grip lug rubber, non-slip, oil-resistant, non-marking\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eClosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLaces\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWaterproof\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMoisture wicking\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYes\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\u003eCompliance\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTAA, AR 670-1, AFI 36-2903\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSlip\/oil resistance standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eASTM F3445\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAvailable sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5, 6, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 13\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (size 8)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.42 lb per boot\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (size 10)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.68 lb per boot\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (size 12)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3.01 lb per boot\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProduct origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBD (Bangladesh)\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 Rothco Guardian suits first responders, EMTs, security guards, active-duty military personnel, and public safety professionals who need a uniform-compliant, waterproof duty boot for extended wear on varied terrain.
