At its core, the Bates Rush Mid is a running shoe but built with the performance of a tactical boot. A lightweight breathable upper actively cools, while the 4 mm heel-to-toe drop provides the ultimate ground connection and stability. Finished with a grippy rubber outsole and directional lugs for quick lateral movements. This boot features:
- Greater airflow to keep cool: open-cell mesh upper
- Light yet strong support: Hot melt TPU overlays
- Rapid response to the ground: 4mm heel to toe drop
- Added protection and durability: reinforced toe box
- Wider base for increased stability: dynamic EVA wedge midsole
- Lateral response movement: directional outsole lugs
- Shock absorption and rebound for lasting comfort: Strobel foam construction
- Eliminates excess waste in the manufacturing process: one-piece upper construction
- Fits like a running shoe: built on an athletic last
- Actively pulls moisture away from the foot to keep dry: moisture-wicking lining
- Quickly secure foot for ideal fit: speed lacing system
