Overview of the 5.11 Tactical A.T.A.C. 2.0 8" Desert Tactical Duty Boots | 12393
The 5.11 Tactical A.T.A.C. 2.0 8" Desert Boots tactical duty boots are built for long shifts, rapid movement, and dependable all-day comfort. Designed by 5.11 Tactical and identified by MPN 12393, these duty boots combine a full-grain suede toe with an 840D nylon upper in dark coyote brown to balance durability with breathability. Law enforcement officers, EMS professionals, military personnel, and security teams rely on footwear that keeps pace through varied environments, and this 8-inch boot is made to handle that demand.
Comfort That Lasts Through the Shift
A full-length dual durometer Ortholite® footbed cushions each step while helping manage moisture. The Ortholite® Achilles cuff and Achilles heel flex zone increase comfort and allow natural movement without sacrificing support. The breathable air-flow tongue and ventilated textile panels help reduce heat buildup during extended wear.
Fast Access and Reliable Fit
The YKK® side zipper allows quick on and off access while traditional laces maintain a secure, adjustable fit. A knife pocket near the collar, visible in the images, keeps a compact tool within reach when you need it.
Field-Ready Durability
Strobel construction and a lighter-weight upper reduce fatigue without compromising strength. The Shock Mitigation System® absorbs impact, while the slip-resistant outsole provides traction across pavement, dirt, or mixed terrain.
