The Code 6.2's collar has been redesigned to provide additional padding and comfort. The Vapor Mesh tongue provides extreme breathability, while the V-FIT comfort lacing system allows more air through the tongue of the boot. The Code 6.2 is available in the 6-inch boot and the 8-inch with a side zip.

First Tactical
Operator Boots
First Tactical designers have created an ultra-lightweight yet durable and breathable boot ideal for special operations as well as everyday wear.

HAIX
Black Eagle Athletic 2.0 T
The Black Eagle Athletic 2.0 T High Side Zip from Haix is built for maximum lightness and breathability. The sole is non-slip, shock absorbing, non-marking, fuel and oil resistant, and heat resistant. The Black Eagle tread naturally releases dried and caked on mud and dirt as you walk. This boot is made to maintain excellent grip on uneven terrain, even in the cold. The High Side Zip also provides softer cushioning in the heel and more padding in the ankle area for additional support and stability.

A custom-molded thermoplastic heel counter and toe box provide instant comfort and lateral support.
Reebok
Sublite Cushion Tactical
The Reebok Sublite Cushion Tactical boot incorporates Sublite foam midsole technology to maximize cushioning while minimizing weight. Deep flex grooves in the midsole allow for natural movement, letting feet bend and balance naturally. At the heel and toe are rubber pads for stopping power and takeoff propulsion. The boot also features a MemoryTech Massage footbed that adapts to foot contours and a slip-resistant outsole for grip in slippery conditions.
