Our 7 Urban Operator Side-Zip boot has the athletic performance you want in the professional look that you need. YKK VISLON zippers help you get your boots on and off quickly and our molded zipper cover keeps the pull in place. Outsoles have a lateral stabilizer on the sides for integrated support and sturdiness and angled lugs for keeping debris from sticking to the bottom. Lightweight 3D spacer air mesh and strategically placed perforations keep your feet cool in warmer weather while maintaining an unmatched level of durability needed for special operations. For protection we added a Torsion Flex fiberglass reinforced composite shank that is 75% lighter than steel. Comfortable right out of the box, our Operator Boot has athletic shoe performance with tactical durability.
