The 5.11 Taclite™ series of boots are our newest introduction to our growing Taclite™ family of products that build on the features and benefits you’ve come to expect and providing even lighter weight and more breathable performance.

Form
The design of the Taclite™ boot is both modern and traditional. We use the traditional lace to toe construction, but have strategically placed multiple panels of leather, ripstop and nylon to speed up the appearance and increase the functionality. The profile of the boots are rugged, fast and supportive while the toe down looks traditional and no nonsense.

Function
The new comfort platform of the Taclite™ boot uses an OrthoLite® sockliner, composite shank and CMEVA midsole that work together to provide maximum cushioning, comfort and support for any possible situation. This cushioning system sits on top of our newly developed outsole. The outsole of the Taclite has deep flex grooves for great flexibility while the multi directional lugs provide a solid base and traction in all terrains. The fast rope control tread and defined heel brake help control your movements when you need it most. All of these features on the outsole are enhanced by our new cold weather specific rubber compound that stays softer and more flexible during those cold weather months.

Fit
The Taclite™ boots are ready to wear right out of the box with no break in time needed. The Zonal Lacing System and the multiple notch outs works well with the "sausage laces" to adjust and secure any shape foot. We’ve also incorporated the new 5.11 Lace Station to keep your laces neat and secure. With the YKK® side zipper simply lace the boot your 1st time and use the side zipper for easy access on and off from there on out.

      Comments about 5.11 Tactical Waterproof TacLite 8" Boot:

      I needed a new set of duty boots, and they had to be comfortable from the get-go. These boots provided my ankles with excellent lateral support and the comfort level was one, if not the best, of the best I've had in work/duty boots. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a high quality boot that is virtually form fitting from the beginning and increases ankle support on top of that too.

        There is a small break in period of maybe a day so don't be discouraged if they seem a bit tight. I wear a 13 wide, bought a 13 wide, and had no problems. The seemed a bit snug at first but you can really customize the feel with the laces. That might seem common sense but other boots I have worn that's not the case. They are water proof as advertised and stayed warm in the 20 degree Pittsburgh cold. I'm curious to see how they will hold up while trudging through snow. I know they are not the winter taclite boots but like i said my have been warm so far, i just want to see what they can do. Overall i'd buy them again without hesitation. And i'll probably look at some of the taclite boots for summer.

          Comments about 5.11 Tactical Waterproof TacLite 8" Boot:

          I go through boots every 4 months. These have stood up to my roughness and are very water proof. The fit is like someone built the boot around my foot and just for my use. I would highly recommend others to get the boot. You Will NOT REGRET the money spent for the boot.

            This is my first pair of 5.11 boots. I have been using another brand for sometime but was not satisfied with the last pair I got from them. Decided to try out 5.11 and the only wish I would have tried them sooner! I wear them daily on duty and the hold up to everything i've put them through. This is definatley my brand of choice from here on.

            Comments about 5.11 Tactical Waterproof TacLite 8" Boot:

            Boots are comfortable with a minimal break in period.(2 days) Speaking for the waterproof taclites they are like other waterproof boots they definetely keep the water out , but aren't as breathable as I would like so your feet get a little warm. Haven't found the zipper all that useful for on and off. I wear these for 12 hour shifts and so far they have held up to all conditions in the Midwest with little discomfort at the end of the day!
