Construction
The 5.11 Taclite™ series of boots are our newest introduction to
our growing Taclite™ family of products that build on the
features and benefits you've come to expect and providing even
lighter weight and more breathable performance.
Form
The design of the Taclite™ boot is both modern and
traditional. We use the traditional lace to toe
construction, but have strategically placed multiple panels of
leather, mesh and nylon to speed up the appearance and increase
the functionality. The profile of the boots are rugged,
fast and supportive while the toe down looks traditional and no
nonsense.
Function
The Taclite™ boot has a combination of full grain leather, 1200D
Cordura nylon and breathable air mesh. Behind the scenes
the Taclite™ boot enhances the breathability with the use of
perforated EVA foam padding instead of the traditional basic
foam backings. To further enhance the moisture management
system, we use antibacterial and moisture wicking linings.
This combination of materials will keep your feet comfortable
and dry throughout your long shift.
The new comfort platform of the Taclite™ boot uses an Ortholite®
sockliner, composite shank and CMEVA midsole that work together
to provide maximum cushioning, comfort and support for any
possible situation. This cushioning system sits on top of
our newly developed outsole. The outsole of the Taclite
has deep flex grooves for great flexibility while the multi
directional lugs provide a solid base and traction in all
terrains. The fast rope control tread and defined heel
brake help control your movements when you need it most.
Fit
The Taclite™ boots are ready to wear right out of the box with
no break in time needed. The Zonal Lacing System and the
multiple notch outs works well with the "sausage laces" to
adjust and secure any shape foot. We've also incorporated
the new 5.11 Lace Station to keep your laces neat and
secure. With the YKK® side zipper simply lace the boot
your 1st time and use the side zipper for easy access on and off
from there on out. Imported.
