This cutting-edge boot lineup was intended for law enforcement, security professionals, and the U.S. Armed Forces by the same boot creators that have designed Belleville’s globally-known combat boots. The Tactical Research Line incorporates many of the qualities that maintains Belleville’s authority for being one of the most advanced and highest quality combat footwear manufacturers in the world.

Tactical Research manufactures three main tactical boot models: the Paladin, the Kiowa, and the Khyber. The very modern, sleek design of all three boot variations immediately gives this footwear 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 features. The polyurethane EVA insole features a deeply contoured heel cup that stabilizes the foot and eliminates friction, an extended arch support that compensates for overpronation of the arch, and a honeycomb forefoot design to maximize air flow beneath the foot. Reviewers have given the renowned TR-1 insole high marks in comfort during long hours and high activity scenarios. All Tactical Research Boots stand 8 inches, complying with military regulations.

The Paladin is a lightweight safety toe tactical boot designed for work areas involving electrocution and/or foot dangers such as a maintenance hangar or power plant. The Paladin is available in desert camo and sage green colors, which are U.S. Air Force Air Battle Uniform (ABU) Approved. The Paladin weighs in at a mere 25.6 oz for a size 9 through a combination of superlight suede and nylon Cordura construction over a compressed EVA sole.

The Kiowa is another lightweight boot intended for tactical and military training and military duty. It features a multi-directional lug design for uneven terrain and an extended EVA midsole for shock attenuation. The Kiowa comes in black leather, Air Force uniform-approved sage green, and desert camo colors. This model weighs in at only 23 oz per boot, which is almost 10 oz less than the average combat boot.

Finally, the Tactical Research Khyber a top performing tactical boot intended for mountainous terrain. Intended applications for this boot are uneven and/or sandy mountainous terrain. It features a deeply serrated heel kicker for maintaining control and sliding on steep terrain, serrated toe bumpers for vertical climbing and crawling, and a Vibram IBEX Outsole for Rugged Terrain.
