The Bates Rush Shield Mid is a lightweight, polishable uniform boot designed for speed and professionalism, with the added benefit of elemental protection in the form of waterproofing. Backed by Bates' decades long history of expertise in designing high-quality footwear for law enforcement personnel, you can feel confident that these tactical athletic boots will deliver the durability and functionality you demand as a police officer out in the streets. The upper of the Bates Rush Shield Mid is comprised of breathable mesh and durable leather that can be polished to a shine to maintain a slick, professional appearance when worn as part of a uniform. Wet or rainy conditions on the ground are also not a problem for these tactical boots, thanks to a Bates DRYGuard waterproofing system that locks out liquids while allowing moisture to escape.
