Product Overview
A tall leather boot can serve both a traditional military-style loadout and a workday uniform. The Rothco Combat Boot - 9 Inch combines a black top grain cowhide leather upper with Goodyear welt construction, a supportive steel shank, and a cushioned insole. Its clean appearance suits uniform wear, while its construction makes it useful for outdoor work, everyday routines, and airsoft field use.
Leather construction with a substantial foundation
Top grain cowhide gives this combat boot a durable leather exterior rather than a fabric-focused design. The 9-inch height creates a tall profile that works naturally with military and tactical clothing. For an airsoft loadout, it offers a traditional combat-boot look; away from the field, the black finish keeps the appearance straightforward enough for work or everyday wear.
Underneath, Goodyear welt construction joins the upper and sole through a welt, creating a substantial connection between the boot's main components. The oil-resistant outsole adds a useful feature for work environments where footwear may encounter oily surfaces. Together, these details make construction—not just appearance—a central part of this boot's design.
Support for time spent on your feet
The steel shank helps support the boot beneath the foot and provides structure through the midfoot. That matters during activities that involve a mix of standing and walking, such as outdoor tasks or moving around an airsoft field. A cushioned insole adds underfoot comfort, complementing the firmer structural support of the shank. These are useful features to consider if your boots need to serve beyond occasional uniform wear.

Check sizing before ordering
This boot typically runs large. Rothco recommends ordering one shoe size smaller than your usual size to account for its roomier fit. Keep that recommendation in mind when selecting your size, rather than automatically choosing the size you normally wear in other footwear.
