5.11 Tactical - A.T.L.A.S. 8" Side Zip Boot
Built for law enforcement and security professionals who carry serious gear on long shifts, the 5.11 A.T.L.A.S. 8-inch side-zip duty boot in black is engineered from the sole up to work with your "work weight," not fight against it. The All Terrain Load Assistance System is built to act as a force multiplier under load. A water-resistant leather upper with high-abrasion air mesh nylon holds up to daily wear, and a polishable toe keeps you presentation-ready when the job demands it.
Underfoot, the 5.11 A.T.L.A.S. Support Plate works with a dual-layer setup - Echo Foam for high rebound and energy return, and Force Foam for lightweight impact cushioning - paired with an Ortholite footbed to keep you moving through a full shift. A full-length YKK® side zipper and locking ankle eyelet keep your fit secure when you need to move fast. The high-traction outsole is slip and oil-resistant, giving you grip whether you're taking corners in a pursuit or working across mixed surfaces.
