Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are these boots waterproof?
No. To maintain the ultra-light 9.5 oz weight and maximum breathability, the Light Patrol does not use a waterproof membrane. They are fast-drying and ideal for hot or mild climates.

Can I polish the toe?
Yes. The toe cap and heel are made from genuine leather specifically designed to take a high-gloss polish for inspection.

Are they airport friendly?
Yes. The lacing system uses nylon-coated loops rather than metal eyelets, making them metal-detector friendly and reducing the risk of scratching surfaces (like car hoods).

How do they compare to the Oakley SI Assault Boot?
The Light Patrol is significantly lighter and more streamlined. It is designed for daily patrol and uniform wear, whereas the Assault boot is heavier and built for rugged field combat.
