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.
