TACTICAL RESEARCH TR102 8 Inch Minimalist Tactical Boots for Men

Tactical Research, a leading supplier of tactical boots, patrol boots, and duty boots, caters to various service personnel. Whether you're in law enforcement, emergency medical services (EMS), private security, or another profession, you can start your search for tactical boots and tactical gear with a company that combines cutting-edge technology with over a century of experience in making tactical footwear.

The 8-inch (8 in) men's Mini-Mil is designed for fans of minimalist shoes or boots, also known as "barefoot shoes" or "barefoot boots," due to their thin soles and low or zero heel-to-toe offset (a.k.a. "low drop" or "zero drop"). Essentially designed as tactical moccasins, minimalist combat boots simulate the experience of walking or running barefoot and encourage natural foot movement, such as splayed toes and forefoot strike. This should strengthen calf muscles and reduce injury in the long run, although a gentle transition is advised for first-time adopters.

If you're new to minimalist footwear, Tactical Research recommends wearing the MINI-MiL for 1-2 hour intervals for the first few weeks. Gradually increase usage as your body strengthens and adapts. The black men's Mini-Mil is designed for police and emergency first responders.

The quick-drying unlined upper of this soft-toe light combat training boot is made of durable 100% cattlehide leather and breathable 1000 denier Cordura nylon, providing an incredibly lightweight, barely-there feel that's great for a long march or run in hot weather. Ample ankle support helps prevent sprains and other injuries. A thin Vibram rubber outsole protects your foot and provides tactical traction while still letting you feel the terrain underfoot.

The Tactical Research Mini-Mil, a men's tactical boot designed for foot comfort and foot health, is the solution if you're looking for men's tactical boots, patrol boots, or low- or zero-drop boots in general. These 8-inch (standard military height) black tactical boots with a lace-up closure and a convenient pull-on loop are designed for training duty and for police, EMS, private security, corrections, and militia personnel.

These lightweight, breathable leather boots are made from premium cattlehide leather and abrasion-resistant 1000 denier Cordura nylon for long-lasting durability that keeps your foot cool even in hot weather. The die-cut, shock-dispersing midsole on these police boots helps distribute impact force across the foot for high-intensity jobs. The exclusive, 100% rubber Vibram Tarsus outsole is flexible and low-profile, providing oil- and slip-resistant tactical traction that sheds mud and debris and lets you feel the ground underfoot.

The single-density molded comfort insert, made with strategic concentrations of polyurethane, is removable for easy cleaning and replacement. The 2-millimeter (mm) heel-to-toe drop encourages a forefoot strike, and the extra-wide toe box allows toes to splay for more natural walking and running. The durable double- and triple-stitched seams last longer and hold up to harder use, and the ultra-lightweight boots, at just 16 ounces per boot, help fight fatigue and overheating in hot weather.

When ordering Tactical Research MiniMil boots, it's important to note that they run about ½ size smaller than your normal running shoe size, so you should order a half size up. If you wear a size 10 running shoe, consider purchasing a size 10.5 Tactical Research MiniMil boot.
