The latest edition of our acclaimed STANDARD ISSUE (S.I.) ASSAULT BOOT features enhanced load-bearing stability, improved anatomical fit and even greater tread durability. Choose the full-grain leather version in Black or the Desert variant that matches split suede leather with breathable Cordura®. The same premium boot is also available with the lower rise of a six-inch collar height.

The vulcanized rubber sole includes directional lug geometry and provides wet/dry traction on both smooth and rough terrain.

Very comfortable boot, used them for walking 25-30 miles a day with a 30kilo pack in high summer with no problems, they do wear out very quickly though.
