## Description

Tactical Research is a leading supplier of tactical boots, patrol boots, and duty boots for many different kinds of servicepeople. Whether you're in law enforcement, emergency medical services (EMS), private security, or some other profession, start your search for tactical boots and tactical gear with the company that combines cutting-edge technology with over a century of experience making tactical footwear. The 8 inch (8 in) men's Mini-Mil is designed for fans of minimalist shoes or boots, also known as "barefoot shoes" or "barefoot boots" because of their thin soles and low or zero heel-to-toe offset (a.k.a. "low drop" or "zero drop"). Essentially designed as tactical moccasins, minimalist combat boots simulate the experience of walking or running barefoot and encourage natural foot movement such as splayed toes and forefoot strike. This should strengthen calf muscles and reduce injury in the long run, although a gentle transition is advised for first-time adopters. If you're new to minimalist footwear, we recommend wearing the MINI-MiL for 1-2 hour intervals for the first few weeks. Gradually increase usage as your body strengthens and adapts. The black men's Mini-Mil is designed for police and emergency first responders. The quick-drying unlined upper of this soft-toe light combat training boot is made of durable 100% cattlehide leather and breathable 1000 denier Cordura nylon for an incredibly lightweight, barely-there feel that's great for a long march or run in hot weather. Ample ankle support helps prevent sprains and other injuries. A thin Vibram rubber outsole protects your foot and provides tactical traction while still letting you feel the terrain underfoot. So if you're looking for men's tactical boots, patrol boots, or just low- or zero-drop boots in general, look no further than the Tactical Research Mini-Mil, a men's tactical boot designed for foot comfort and foot health.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I saw somewhere that the heel to toe drop was only 2mm? Is this true? Is the toe box wider than normal to allow for toe splay? Or should i buy wide?**
A: Yes it is true, there is only a 2mm drop and the toe box is wider.  These were true to size and are very comfortable once you get use to the drop from wearing regular shoes.  I have loved my pair and have had them for about 6 months now.  I wear them every day and I work as a Sheriffs Deputy.  The only draw back is that with all the rain we have had lately my feet do get wet.  They are not water proof or resistant, they are a jungle boot style boot, though they do dry fast.  I just keep extra pair of socks with me when at work.  They are very quite when walking, when clearing house's I have been able to walk through homes like a "ninja" as my son says. They are very light on your feet and yet very comfortable.  You will feel each rock you step on due to the thin sole, but the lug system on the sole has been very good so far, unless you get into some really muddy stuff, which no shoe really holds up in. I would compare the toe box to the Birkenstock style toe box if you are familiar with there style shoe's.  Would I recommend this boot, YES most definitely.  If you have a problem with flat feet then no.  The support is not there, but that is not what this shoe was made for.  Hope this helps.

**Q: How well are these with oil/slip resistant?  I work in a kitchen for work.**
A: Haven't bought these yet, but I had a pair of leather minimalist shoes from vivo barefoot that didn't even have much tread on the soles, and I wore them to smithareens for two years in the kitchen. I'm sure these will work great.

**Q: I got to try on a pair, and the sole seemed rather hard - it would tap on the floor even when walking carefully. Do they get softer/quieter with wear?**
A: I've found that it depends on the type of floor you're walking on.  I've found them to be loud when walking on laminate flooring especially.  They're quieter on wood floors, but still a little 'tappy.'  Like Eric above says, they're actual minimalist boots and have a rugged sole with hard rubber or whatever.  So while they are a little 'tappy' just think, that's the sound of a long-lived sole.  They'll start to separate from the upper long before they wear out.

**Q: True to size?**
A: The size was maybe 1 or 2 sizes smaller and the shoes where not the same as an other shoe from Tactical Research that I allready have
