Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What is D3O® technology and why is it in a tactical boot?

D3O® is an advanced, flexible material that hardens instantly upon impact to absorb and dissipate energy. Strategically placed in the tongue and ankles of the Specter LE Zip, it provides law enforcement officers with superior protection against blunt force impacts without adding the rigid bulk of hard plastic armor.

• Can I polish the toe for uniform inspections?

Yes. The front of the boot is constructed from 1.8 mm coated full-grain leather specifically designed to take a polish, ensuring it meets the strict uniform and inspection standards of most police departments and security agencies.

• How does the "Double Closure System" work?

The double closure system gives you the best of both worlds. You use the traditional laces to dial in the perfect, custom fit across your foot and ankle. Once set, you can leave the laces tied and simply use the heavy-duty side zipper to rapidly put the boots on or take them off before and after shifts.
