{"product_id":"rothco-scout-hybrid-4-inch-tactical-shoe","title":"Rothco Scout Hybrid 4-Inch Tactical Shoe","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco Performance Series Scout Hybrid is a 4-inch all-terrain tactical shoe built for men who need waterproof protection, composite toe safety, and all-day comfort across field operations and outdoor environments. Certified to ASTM F3445 and ASTM F2413 for slip resistance and composite toe impact protection, and TAA compliant, the Scout is available in whole and half sizes from 5 through 13.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWaterproof Construction That Keeps Working\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRothco's H2O Lock Weather Protection System combines a premium waterproof leather and polyester upper with a waterproof internal lining, so the Scout stays dry from the outside in. A moisture-wicking mesh liner underneath manages interior humidity, keeping feet dry from the inside out as well. The gusseted tongue seals the entry point against dirt and debris, a detail that matters when moving through loose terrain or wet brush where an open tongue becomes a liability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCushioning Built for Long Days on Your Feet\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 the cumulative fatigue that builds over a full shift or a long day in the field. A nylon shank runs through the midsole to add structural support and prevent the shoe from flexing where it shouldn't, while the lightweight flexible bonded construction keeps the overall package from weighing you down. The 4-inch height allows quick turns and pivots without the ankle restriction of a taller boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrip and Durability at Ground Level\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ground Lock Terrain Endurance System equips the Scout with a non-slip, oil-resistant rubber outsole featuring multidirectional grip lugs: traction that holds on wet floors, loose ground, and oily surfaces. A high-abrasion rubber toe cap protects the front of the shoe from scuffs and wear, and also functions as a heel-kick tab for hands-free removal. The rubber heel counter adds rear-end structure. The non-marking outsole leaves no scuff marks on indoor flooring, making the Scout usable across both field and facility environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eH2O Lock Weather Protection 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\u003eComfort Lock Fatigue Defense System:\u003c\/strong\u003e molded EVA footbed, EVA midsole, nylon shank, and lightweight flexible bonded construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGround Lock Terrain Endurance System:\u003c\/strong\u003e non-slip oil-resistant outsole with multidirectional grip lugs and non-marking sole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposite Toe:\u003c\/strong\u003e certified to ASTM F2413 for composite toe impact protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlip Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e certified to ASTM F3445\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTAA Compliant\u003c\/strong\u003e\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\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\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, 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 toe with high-abrasion rubber toe cap\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShaft Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4 inches\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\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eASTM F3445 (slip resistance), ASTM F2413 (composite toe impact protection), TAA compliant\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIntended Gender\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  \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 Scout suits men who spend full days on their feet across varied terrain: field operations, hunting, hiking, security work, or facility environments where a non-marking sole and slip-resistant outsole are required. The composite toe and ASTM certifications make it appropriate where toe-impact and slip-resistance standards are a job requirement. TAA compliance makes it eligible for government and agency procurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThe Scout is a men's shoe and is not offered in women's sizing. The 4-inch shaft height prioritizes ankle mobility over ankle support; buyers who need a higher cut for ankle stability should consider a taller boot. The Scout carries no electrical hazard rating and no puncture-resistance rating; it is not suited for worksites where those protections are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does TAA compliant mean for the Scout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eTAA compliant means the Rothco Scout Hybrid Tactical Shoe meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, making it eligible for purchase under U.S. government contracts and agency procurement programs that require TAA-compliant goods. Bangladesh is a TAA-designated country of origin, so the Scout qualifies under that framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat ASTM certifications does the Scout carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Scout Hybrid Tactical Shoe is certified to ASTM F3445 for slip resistance and ASTM F2413 for composite toe impact protection. These are independent standards; the composite toe is not a steel toe. The shoe carries no electrical hazard or puncture-resistance rating under ASTM F2413.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs the Scout fully waterproof or just water resistant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eRothco describes the Scout as waterproof. The H2O Lock system includes a waterproof leather and polyester upper and a waterproof internal lining, with a moisture-wicking mesh liner for breathability. The gusseted tongue adds a secondary barrier against water, dirt, and debris entering at the lace opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does sizing work, and what sizes are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rothco Scout Hybrid Tactical Shoe is available in men's sizes 5 through 13, including half sizes at 7.5, 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, and 11.5. The shoe is offered in one color (black). No published fit guidance is available for buyers between sizes; contacting us before ordering is the safest approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan the Scout be used indoors as well as in the field?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The Rothco Scout Hybrid Tactical Shoe features a non-marking outsole that prevents scuff marks on indoor flooring, making it suitable for facility and building environments as well as outdoor terrain. The non-slip, oil-resistant outsole also performs on smooth or wet indoor surfaces where slip resistance is a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rothco","offers":[{"title":"5","offer_id":67126329344371,"sku":"RTC-54315-BLK-5","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6","offer_id":67126329377139,"sku":"RTC-54315-BLK-6","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7","offer_id":67126329409907,"sku":"RTC-54315-BLK-7","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7.5","offer_id":67126329442675,"sku":"RTC-54315-BLK-7.5","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8","offer_id":67126329475443,"sku":"RTC-54315-BLK-8","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5","offer_id":67126329508211,"sku":"RTC-54315-BLK-8.5","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9","offer_id":67126329540979,"sku":"RTC-54315-BLK-9","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5","offer_id":67126329573747,"sku":"RTC-54315-BLK-9.5","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":67126329606515,"sku":"RTC-54315-BLK-10","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5","offer_id":67126329639283,"sku":"RTC-54315-BLK-10.5","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11","offer_id":67126329672051,"sku":"RTC-54315-BLK-11","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5","offer_id":67126329704819,"sku":"RTC-54315-BLK-11.5","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12","offer_id":67126329737587,"sku":"RTC-54315-BLK-12","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13","offer_id":67126329770355,"sku":"RTC-54315-BLK-13","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/54315-A.webp?v=1792113805","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/products\/rothco-scout-hybrid-4-inch-tactical-shoe","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
