Bates Falcon boots are constructed of a full grain leather upper featuring a breathable pigskin lining and a scuff resistant rubber toe guard.

These boots are designed for specialist tactical personnel where remaining nimble on the feet is a top priority. They are issued to the British SBS. As well as specialist military use they are also ideal for police specialist firearms teams.

The Bates proprietary outsole delivers numerous points of contact with the terrain for superior traction and slip resistance. The perforated removable cushioned footbed has impact pads for greater comfort. With a polyurethane midsole and a fibre glass shank, this boot delivers light weight stability.

Unlike traditional boot designs these boots are structured (the ‘last’) on sports footwear.
