Wellco has 40+ years experience making combat boots, tactical boots, and duty boots and the Spartan is the culmination of all our experience. You can't beat the protection or comfort. The tactical sticky rubber outsole keeps you safe on any terrain and the spike proof midsole is a tribute to our jungle boot heritage because you never know what you will run into. The Spartan features an ergonomically correct fit with eventTM waterproof leather and is Blood Borne pathogen protective.
