This long-time force veteran keeps getting better with age, now weighing 30 percent less than its original model. For duties that change minute to minute, this 5" boot gives just the right ankle support û never too stiff or too sloppy. A breathable mesh lining keeps air moving freely around the feet, while the long-wearing slip-resistant Ultra-Lites rubber outsole sticks every step securely to the ground.
