The Basics of Selecting a Tactical Boot

December 7, 2018 by Garand Thumb Leave a Comment

The Basics of Selecting a Tactical Boot

If you’ve been in Law Enforcement or the Military there’s a good chance you’ve likely tried out more than one Tactical boot. Maybe you found that you didn’t know your true boot size or perhaps the boots fell apart after a short amount of use. In any case it’s good to garner more information on boots. In this short video I explain some basics of tactical boot selection across a range of different environments. We talk the differences between leather and synthetic and when it may be better to choose one over the other.

Realize that the video is far from all encompassing. But at the very least it will serve as a primer to give yourself a head start into the world of tactical boot selection.
