Tactical boots are quieter too, in terms of squeaking. Tactical boots provide added protection with steel or plastic toecaps to prevent broken toes in the event of heavy objects being dropped on the feet, while the strong materials, tougher tongues and reinforced collars protect the feet and lower legs from sharp objects and other dangers the wearer may encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jayjaysbrecon.co.uk\/footwear-accessories\/boots\/aku-selvatica-tactical-mid-gtx--coyote__152\">AKU Selvatica Tactical Mid GTX<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/jaja\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2023\/02\/aku-selvatica-gtx-coyote-jayjays-1-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94\" width=\"313\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/jaja\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2023\/02\/aku-selvatica-gtx-coyote-jayjays-1-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/jaja\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2023\/02\/aku-selvatica-gtx-coyote-jayjays-1-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/jaja\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2023\/02\/aku-selvatica-gtx-coyote-jayjays-1-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/jaja\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2023\/02\/aku-selvatica-gtx-coyote-jayjays-1-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/jaja\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2023\/02\/aku-selvatica-gtx-coyote-jayjays-1-2-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/jaja\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2023\/02\/aku-selvatica-gtx-coyote-jayjays-1-2-370x370.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\" \/><figcaption>AKU Selvatica Boots<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Footwear for multi-terrain activity, perfect for light hunting activity.

Fast draining, quick drying, lightweight &amp; shock absorbing. The combination of the Jungle boot upper with the Tabbing boot sole makes the Jungle Microlite suitable for a wider range of operational uses. The Jungle boot drain eyelets are retained to make the boot faster draining and drying. Under the foot the new mesh covered Airgrid footbed further enhances the boot draining and drying. The upper is Anfibio water repellent leather with Cordura\u00ae fabric panels in the leg and tongue, this is a tried and tested combination used by Altberg for over 20 years. The forefoot and tongue lining is spacer mesh which has zero moisture retention. The leg is unlined, and the heel is lined with Cambrelle\u00ae for all day comfort. The boot has a good shock absorption Micro layer in the sole and the flex control and torsional resistance are excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jayjaysbrecon.co.uk\/footwear-accessories\/boots\/altberg-tabbing-boot--mod-brown__3413\">Altberg Tabbing Tactical Elite Boot <\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/jaja\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2023\/02\/altberg_tabbing_boot_brown_1-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-98\" width=\"272\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/jaja\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2023\/02\/altberg_tabbing_boot_brown_1-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/jaja\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2023\/02\/altberg_tabbing_boot_brown_1-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/jaja\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2023\/02\/altberg_tabbing_boot_brown_1-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/jaja\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2023\/02\/altberg_tabbing_boot_brown_1-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/jaja\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2023\/02\/altberg_tabbing_boot_brown_1-2-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/jaja\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2023\/02\/altberg_tabbing_boot_brown_1-2-370x370.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 272px) 100vw, 272px\" \/><figcaption>Altberg Tabbing Tactical Elite Boot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lightweight military tabbing boot based on running shoe technology.
