BENNON Panther XTR O6 NM High Tactical Boots — Black

The Panther XTR O6 NM High is a tall tactical boot designed for professional operators, law enforcement and demanding outdoor use. The upper combines full-grain cowhide leather with CORDURA® inserts and TPU reinforcements, mounted on a Vibram® 187C outsole that delivers SR-rated slip resistance on wet and slippery surfaces. The construction is entirely free of metallic components (NM – Non Metallic certification), a relevant feature for those operating in environments with metal detector checks or EOD procedures.

The REGI-TEX® membrane waterproofs the boot from the inside without sacrificing breathability: moisture from the foot is expelled while external water is blocked. The upper also receives a water-repellent surface treatment that reduces absorption in moderately wet conditions. The combination of both systems extends comfort before the foot notices any moisture, but as with any membrane, the critical point remains shaft height: immersion above the top of the collar is not managed by the membrane. The EVA/rubber outsole insulates against cold from the ground and is fuel-resistant, while the heel zone integrates an impact absorption system that reduces fatigue on hard terrain during long hours of duty.

The ABSORBA XTR footbed works in conjunction with the TPU heel stabiliser to control pronation and keep the foot centred even under load with full kit. The internal shaft pocket allows laces to be stowed when a clean, lace-free profile is preferred — a practical solution in environments with entanglement risk or when working with gaiters. Antistatic properties and contact heat resistance of the outsole complete the specification of a boot designed for demanding regulatory environments.

Key Features

• NM (Non Metallic) construction: no ferrous components, compatible with metal detector checks and specific security protocols.
• REGI-TEX® membrane + water-repellent treatment on the upper: dual water barrier that extends comfort in wet conditions.
• Vibram® 187C outsole with SR rating: reliable grip on slippery surfaces, fuel resistance and insulation against cold from the ground.
• Heel absorption system and TPU stabiliser: reduce fatigue and the risk of lateral instability under heavy loads.
• Lace storage pocket in the shaft: allows laces to be stowed for a cleaner profile in specific operational environments.
• Antistatic properties and contact heat resistance of the outsole: regulatory compliance for regulated professional environments.
