Tactical Research Footwear Introduces Their 2011 Product Lineup
This leading-edge footwear lineup was designed for Police officers, public security, and the U.S. Military by the same boot creators that have designed Belleville’s globally-known military boots. The Tactical Research Line utilizes many of the qualities that supports Belleville’s reputation for being one of the most technological and highest quality military footwear manufacturers in the world.
Tactical Research offers three main tactical boot models: the Paladin, the Kiowa, and the Khyber. The very modern, sleek form of all three boot variations immediately gives this boot lineup a “tactical feel” where stealth and quickness come to mind. Each of the three Tactical Research models come with design features that are specific to a particular mission or use. However, common to all three models is Belleville’s famous TR-1 high performance insole that employs several state-of-the-art anatomical capabilities. The precision molded insole features a deeply formed heel cup that stabilizes the foot and prevents heat and friction, an extended arch support that compensates for overpronation of the arch, and a honeycomb forefoot design to maximize cooling below the foot. Soldiers in the field have given the patented TR-1 insole positive reviews in extended wear and high activity scenarios. All Tactical Research Boots stand 8 inches, satisfying height requirements of the U.S. Military.
The Paladin is a superlight safety toe tactical boot intended for settings involving electrocution and/or toe hazards such as a maintenance hangar or power plant. The Paladin comes in desert camo and sage green colors, which are U.S. Air Force Air Battle Uniform (ABU) Approved. The Paladin weighs in at a meager 25.6 oz for a size 9 through a combination of superlight suede and nylon Cordura construction over a low-profile over-lasted outsole.
The Kiowa is a lightweight boot designed for tactical and combat training and military duty. It features a beefy lug design for rough terrain and an extended EVA midsole for heel padding. The Kiowa comes in black leather, Air Force uniform-approved sage green, and desert tan colors. This model weighs in at only 23 oz per boot, which is almost 10 oz less than some combat boots.
Lastly, the Tactical Research Khyber a top performing tactical boot intended for mountainous terrain. Ideal settings for this boot are loose and/or sandy mountainous terrain. It features a deeply serrated heel kicker for braking and sliding on steep terrain, serrated toe bumpers for uphill climbs, and a Vibram IBEX Outsole for Rugged Terrain. All of this in a lightweight package of 24 oz per boot which makes it a top choice for long duty hours.
All Tactical Research models are constructed using state of the art technology and top class materials. This new footwear line is rapidly gaining popularity as many are discovering that it is truly worthy wearing the Belleville name.
