Engineered for speed and agility, the First Tactical Men's Urban Operator Side-Zip Boot combines the benefits of a high-performance athletic shoe with the durability of a tactical boot. This lightweight 7" boot has a polishable full-grain leather upper with strategically placed 3D spacer air mesh that enhances ventilation and flexibility. An Ortholite. dual layer foam insole provides cushioning and support, while a Torsion Flex™ reinforced fiberglass composite shank delivers superior stability without the weight of a traditional steel shank. Full YKK Vislon zippers are secured by a molded zipper cover, while a tongue lace garage prevents snagging and unintentional unlacing.
