Whether you're running after suspects, searching through debris or brush in the city or country, directing traffic or loading the injured into an ambulance, these #1 selling boots by Bates will support your feet no matter what the task, terrain or environment.

The Bates tactical boots cushions and protects feet with high tech, protective materials engineered especially for the unique requirements of service personnel. The full grain leather and ballistic nylon upper is designed for extreme durability and protection against slashes, tears or gashes.

Feet stay cool, dry and aired out at all times thanks to a breathable mesh lining. Feet stay cool, dry and aerated through hundreds of tiny holes inside the mesh lining that wick moisture away from feet and keep air flowing through the boot.

The boot's YKK nylon side zipper adds extra peace of mind and security to an already-snug fit provided by the fast-lacing system. Feet stay in place while the boot stays done up at all times.

Rubber outsoles have an aggressive, functional lug that provides maximum traction, tread and stability over changing terrain. This boot is also great for fast rope exercises or operations, running or other fast-moving actions that require a no-fail fit and fit.
