TACTICAL BOOTS

TACTICAL BOOTS VS. COMBAT BOOTS: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Many people assume that tactical boots are the same as combat boots, but that's only part of the story. While the military sometimes wears these highly specialized boots, tactical boots prioritize speed and agility over the long-wear features of combat boots. With lightweight builds and an emphasis on flexibility, tactical boots are ideal for service in urban environments. Tactical boots also have a more varied range of features when compared to combat boots.

WHAT IS THE BEST TACTICAL BOOT?

When it comes to footwear, everyone has their preferences. However, there are a few things that make some tactical boots stand out over others:

• Durable materials, such as leather or high-performance synthetics
• Supportive EVA or PU midsole and a removable molded insole
• Non-slip, non-marking outsoles
• Speed-lacing system or side zipper
• Flexibility through the forefoot and toe and stability at the heel and ankle
