The Paladin bay apache waterproof 8 inch tall men's lace up boot is ruggedly handsome. Its distressed chocolate brown leather exterior gives this boot a lived-in look and features the Chip A Tex waterproof membrane system that's still breathable. Water is locked out of the boot by the membrane shield but air passes through from the foot for maximum comfort. This boot also features Texon insoles for lasting cushion and support and the vibram rubber outsole brings quality, performance, and safety guaranteeing extended wear.
