Bates Falcon Boot

Bates Falcon 8" boots are constructed of a full grain leather upper featuring a breathable pigskin lining and a reinforced toe guard.

These boots are designed for specialist tactical personnel where remaining nimble on the feet is a top priority. They are issued to UKSF. As well as specialist military use they are also ideal for specialist Police firearms teams.

The Bates proprietary outsole delivers numerous points of contact with the terrain for superior traction and slip resistance. The perforated removable cushioned footbed has impact pads for greater comfort. With a polyurethane midsole and a fibre glass shank, this boot delivers light weight stability.

Unlike traditional boot designs these boots are structured (the ‘last’) on sports footwear. Bates® duty-dependable features include:

• Full-grain leather uppers for durability
• Slip-resistant Falcon rubber outsole for lasting grip
• Shock-absorbing polyurethane midsole
• Removable, dual-density insole for comfort
• Leather lining
• 1/2-gusseted tongue to lock out debris
• Reinforced Toe cap for long-wearing performance
• Padded tongue and collar

As close as you can get to wearing trainers. Far comfier then LOWA in my opinion. Would recommend these to anyone who asked for a decent set of boots.... » more...
