{"product_id":"rothco-guardian-composite-toe-6-inch-tactical-boot","title":"Rothco Guardian Composite Toe 6-Inch Tactical Boot","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco Guardian is a 6-inch composite toe tactical boot built for first responders, security professionals, EMTs, and active-duty personnel who need waterproof protection, all-day cushioning, and certified slip and impact resistance across a full shift. The Guardian is TAA compliant and certified to ASTM F3445 and ASTM F2413. Sizes run from 5 through 12, all in black.\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 leather and polyester upper with a waterproof internal lining, so moisture stays out whether you're crossing wet pavement or working through rain. A moisture-wicking mesh liner underneath pulls sweat away from the foot, keeping the interior breathable even when the outer shell is sealed. The gusseted tongue closes off the gap at the lace opening, blocking dirt and debris from working inside during movement.\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 with each step, reducing foot fatigue during extended patrols or on-scene work. A nylon shank runs through the midsole to add structural support and prevent the boot from flexing where it shouldn't. The bonded construction keeps the boot lightweight and flexible without sacrificing the stability that long hours on your feet demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrip and Toe Protection Rated for the Job\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ground Lock Terrain Endurance System centers on a high-grip lug rubber outsole rated non-slip and oil-resistant under ASTM F3445, so the boot holds traction on wet, oily, or uneven surfaces. The non-marking sole prevents scuff marks on finished flooring, which matters in hospitals, courthouses, and other indoor environments. The composite toe meets ASTM F2413 impact protection standards, providing a measurable level of protection against falling objects without the weight penalty of a steel toe.\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 leather and polyester upper, waterproof internal lining, moisture-wicking mesh liner, and gusseted tongue\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposite Toe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified to ASTM F2413 for impact protection; lighter than steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlip and Oil Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-grip lug rubber outsole certified to ASTM F3445; non-marking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComfort Lock System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Molded EVA footbed and EVA midsole for shock absorption; nylon shank for structural support\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6-Inch Padded Collar:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ankle support and protection with flexibility for patrol movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTAA Compliant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meets Trade Agreements Act requirements\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 and polyester\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eToe\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eComposite\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\u003eFootbed\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMolded EVA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShank\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNylon\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOutsole\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRubber, high-grip lug, 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\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e6 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWaterproof\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYes (waterproof lining and upper)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMoisture Wicking\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYes (mesh liner)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eASTM F2413 (composite toe impact), ASTM F3445 (slip resistance); TAA compliant\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\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\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (per pair, size 10)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e3.01 lb\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, law enforcement, and active-duty personnel who spend full shifts on their feet in variable conditions and need a waterproof, slip-resistant boot with certified composite toe protection.

The boot is also TAA compliant, meeting Trade Agreements Act requirements for government and agency procurement. No electrical hazard, puncture resistance, or metatarsal protection ratings are stated for this boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs the Guardian boot truly waterproof, or just water resistant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Guardian uses a waterproof leather and polyester upper combined with a waterproof internal lining as part of Rothco's H2O Lock Weather Protection System. A moisture-wicking mesh liner and gusseted tongue add breathability and debris protection. The boot carries both waterproof and water-resistant ratings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow heavy is the Guardian, and will it cause fatigue on long shifts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Guardian weighs approximately 3.01 lb per pair at size 10, with weights ranging from 2.4 lb (size 5) to 3.3 lb (size 12). The composite toe is lighter than a steel toe. The Comfort Lock Fatigue Defense System uses a molded EVA footbed and EVA midsole to absorb shock and reduce fatigue during extended wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the outsole like, and will it mark indoor floors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Guardian uses a high-grip lug rubber outsole that is non-slip and oil-resistant, certified to ASTM F3445.
