The boot is TAA compliant and certified to ASTM F3445 and ASTM F2413. Sizes run from 5 through 13, including half sizes from 7.5 to 11.5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWaterproof Construction for Any Environment\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 and a moisture-wicking mesh liner underneath. That layered approach keeps water out while still allowing airflow, so feet stay dry without overheating during extended patrols or emergency response shifts. A gusseted tongue seals the boot's opening against dirt and debris, reducing the need to stop and clear the boot during field work.\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 shock underfoot across a full duty day. A lightweight flexible bonded construction keeps the boot from adding unnecessary load to each step, and a nylon shank runs through the midsole to maintain arch support and lateral stability when moving across uneven ground. Together these elements reduce the cumulative fatigue that builds during multi-hour patrols or back-to-back calls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrip and Toe Protection Underfoot\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ground Lock Terrain Endurance System centers on a high-grip lug rubber outsole certified to ASTM F3445 for slip resistance. The outsole is also oil-resistant and non-marking, so it holds traction on wet or slick surfaces without leaving scuff marks on indoor flooring. The composite toe meets ASTM F2413 impact protection requirements, providing a measurable safety margin against dropped equipment or compression hazards without the added weight 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 full grain 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\u003eASTM F3445 Slip Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-grip lug rubber outsole, oil-resistant and non-marking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComfort Lock System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Molded EVA footbed and EVA midsole with nylon shank for shock absorption and arch 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 for government and agency procurement.\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\u003e6 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColorway\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCoyote Brown (AR 670-1)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUpper Materials\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFull grain leather, polyester, nylon\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\u003eMidsole \/ Footbed\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMolded EVA footbed, EVA midsole, 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\u003eToe\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eComposite (ASTM F2413 certified)\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\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eASTM F3445 (slip resistance), ASTM F2413 (composite toe impact), TAA compliant\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\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 (per pair, size 9)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2.82 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 Guardian is suited to first responders, EMTs, security guards, active-duty military, and public safety personnel who need a TAA-compliant, AR 670-1-approved coyote brown boot with certified waterproofing, slip resistance, and composite toe protection for full-shift wear. The lace closure, padded collar, and gusseted tongue make it a practical choice for patrol and field environments where debris and wet conditions are routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThese boots are not rated for electrical hazard protection, chainsaw or cut resistance, or any ballistic threat. The composite toe meets ASTM F2413 impact standards but does not provide puncture protection from below unless that rating is separately confirmed. Buyers needing a women's fit or sizes outside 5 through 13 should verify availability before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eAre these boots actually waterproof, or just water-resistant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Guardian uses a full waterproof construction: a waterproof full grain leather and polyester upper, a waterproof internal lining, and a moisture-wicking mesh liner. The gusseted tongue adds a secondary barrier against water and debris entry. Rothco markets this combination as the H2O Lock Weather Protection System.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the composite toe protect against compared to a steel toe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Guardian's composite toe is certified to ASTM F2413 for impact and compression protection, the same standard applied to steel toe boots. Composite material is lighter than steel and does not conduct heat or cold, which can improve comfort in temperature extremes. These boots carry no electrical hazard rating, so they are not a substitute for EH-rated footwear in live-circuit environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat slip-resistance certification do these boots carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Guardian is certified to ASTM F3445 for slip resistance. The high-grip lug rubber outsole is also listed as oil-resistant and non-marking. ASTM F3445 is a standardized test for footwear slip resistance on wet and contaminated surfaces, making these boots appropriate for environments where spills or wet flooring are a hazard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eAre these boots TAA compliant, and does that matter for my agency's procurement?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes, the Rothco Guardian is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant. TAA compliance is required for many federal, state, and local government procurement contracts. If your agency's purchasing rules require TAA-compliant footwear, these boots qualify. Confirm your specific contract requirements with your procurement officer before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow much do these boots weigh, and does weight vary by size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eWeight increases with size. A size 9 pair weighs approximately 2.82 lb, while a size 13 pair weighs approximately 3.34 lb. The lightest listed size (5) weighs approximately 2.40 lb. Rothco describes the construction as lightweight and flexible, which the EVA midsole and bonded build contribute to across all sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat sizes are available, and are half sizes offered?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Guardian in coyote brown is available in whole sizes 5 through 13 and half sizes 7.5, 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, and 11.5. These boots are listed as men's sizing. No women's sizing variant is offered in this colorway based on current product data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Rothco","offers":[{"title":"5","offer_id":67126277865843,"sku":"RTC-54235-COY-5","price":122.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6","offer_id":67126277898611,"sku":"RTC-54235-COY-6","price":122.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7","offer_id":67126277931379,"sku":"RTC-54235-COY-7","price":122.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7.5","offer_id":67126277964147,"sku":"RTC-54235-COY-7.5","price":122.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8","offer_id":67126277996915,"sku":"RTC-54235-COY-8","price":122.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5","offer_id":67126278029683,"sku":"RTC-54235-COY-8.5","price":122.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9","offer_id":67126278062451,"sku":"RTC-54235-COY-9","price":122.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5","offer_id":67126278095219,"sku":"RTC-54235-COY-9.5","price":122.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":67126278127987,"sku":"RTC-54235-COY-10","price":122.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5","offer_id":67126278160755,"sku":"RTC-54235-COY-10.5","price":122.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11","offer_id":67126278193523,"sku":"RTC-54235-COY-11","price":122.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5","offer_id":67126278226291,"sku":"RTC-54235-COY-11.5","price":122.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12","offer_id":67126278259059,"sku":"RTC-54235-COY-12","price":122.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13","offer_id":67126278291827,"sku":"RTC-54235-COY-13","price":122.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/54235-A.webp?v=1792113374","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/products\/rothco-guardian-composite-toe-coyote-brown-tactical-boots","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
