Designed for Excellence
Our boots combine our 3-Sole System design with, superior materials, expert design, and durable construction. Our unique design still allows for breathability to help cool in hot weather and keep you warm in cold climates. Each boot features a durable rubber outsole for high traction movement, an ultra-flexible, lightweight EVA midsole, and a cushioned removable insole to allow for custom orthopedics.

We proudly serve military and armed forces, as well as security officers, law enforcement, first responders, and police. The shock and impact-absorbing soles are made for tough all-day use. The classic style and reinforced heavy-duty design lets the world know you're ready for anything.

We're proud to manufacture and supply professional uniform footwear and apparel for military and police personnel.

I bought this same pair of boots 5 years ago and used them for camping, hiking, yard work, landscaping, garage work, metal work and moving. I used them only for my dirty and rough jobs to take the beating I didn’t want my nice shoes to take and they’ve held up all this time. They’re still usable, but I figured it’s probably time to retire the old ones so I bought the same pair again.They were water resistant, but if you’re kicking through a lot of dew-covered grass and they get soaked, the water will get through. So not waterproof.I only had a couple issues with them over the lifespan of my old ones.First, early on some stitching came out of the front rubber of the toe, but that never affected anything and the rubber never separated so not really an issue.Second, I had to replace the shoelaces a handful of times because they snapped a few times. Probably due to the nature of the work I did with them in dirt and mud and wet environments creating more friction and rust in the grommets over time. Not a big deal to me. Laces can be replaced and the shoes didn’t fall apart.Third, if I brought the zipper down to the bottom too hard, it used to get stuck there unless I pulled really hard. But they never broke even with the force I put into them so it worked for me.Finally, the velcro wore out after about 3.5 years but still sort of works currently.Upon buying the new pair, they feel very cushy and ergonomic in the soles and upper rim. The zipper works fine all the way to the bottom and the Velcro is new so it works fine of course.Overall I would recommend these shoes. They held up pretty well and are a fair price. I even got the black leather ones for other uses some years ago, but I don’t use those as often. They hold up just as well, they just get hot in the sun as black leather does.
