Original S.W.A.T. Men's Classic 6 Inch Tactical Boot

Original S.W.A.T makes some of the most comfortable combat boots I've ever worn. After leaving the military in 2012 I discovered Original S.W.A.T working private security. putting my foot in those boots was like standing on a cloud. Maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration, but the point is, I've worn many brands of boots these are the best in my opinion. They are durable, comfortable, have great ankle support**, great traction. As far as cons go I have two. The first pair of boots I got had zippers on the side making it quick to put on but also while engaging in military style operations would unzip loosing that great ankle support** I mentioned earlier. Not to mention increasing the chance of your boots falling off in combat which is no good. If you're going to use these boots hard, then I'd suggest getting no zipper on your boots. Another con is it doesn't have a whole lot of ventilation, which doesn't bother me a whole lot, but if you got seriously sweaty feet then you might not find it so nice.

I am a size 11 in sneakers, ordered one half size up (11.5) and they fit well. So I would recommend ordering one half size up. Good protection up to about 3 - 4 inches above ankle. Comfortable. Have had a pair in the past (older 5" model) and they work well for the wear and tear I give them working EMS.

Besides getting a size alittle to big, these are the best and by far most comfortable boots I have ever gotten.

i wear these every day .. very comfortable . right out of the box .. i am retired military and now farmer / retired. cant say enough... i am now on my 4th set.. i buy 2 at a time . rotate and wear them out .. not rubber boots .. once again i wear them every day .... love them i will buy more

Size is as expected, durability is great, tread good, no peeling around seems, good stiching, i polish them up 1x a month. Daily police duty boot, comfortable, light. Will buy again.

I have been searching for the perfect work boot for four years. I have purchase many, and I finally find a pair that I truly love. The are true to size, sturdy and durable. I was a little worried since they have a steel shank in them. I was wrong the steal shank only make the boots more comfortable. I would recommend them to other people I no.

I purchased these to replace my last pair of Original SWAT boots. They used to sell a 5" Classic work boot and I really like them. Apparently that boot is no longer made so I figured an extra inch in the ankle wouldn't matter much. Unfortunately I was wrong. The cut of this boot is much more narrow and tight fitting. I wore them for a few days and found that my feet sweat to beat all heck in them. This never happened with the 5". I still have the 5" and started wearing them again until I can find a new replacement. Put the 5" one's back on and no more sweating. Go back to the 6" and sweat city. Not sure what they changed but something doesn't work for me anymore.

I like it because the heel didn't wear out inside like every one of my department-issue 5.11 Tacticals have. The 5.11s are good for about 6 months, then the white plastic support in the heel becomes exposed from the fabric wearing away and rubs the heck out of your heel and causing blisters. I've been wearing these on duty since August of last year (it's May now) and the heel is still good. Unfortunately, I don't like having to lace up and unlace every time. That was the great feature of the 5.11s; lace up to the tightness level you like, double knot when you tie it up, and then use the zipper to take the boot off from there on out...nice and easy. Also, the Original SWAT are not even close to being water resistant, let alone water proof. If it's raining hard your feet are getting wet. I once stood in a few inches of water in my 5.11s directing traffic and my feet stayed dry. Overall, the 5.11 is a better design, just be ready to replace it after 6 months. These hold the edge in durability and long-term comfort.

These are my third pair of orginal swats in the past three and half years. Each pair has last over a year. I am a big guy 280 lbs and 6'4" tall. Wear them for work and on my feet all day in all kinds of weather. From mud on construction sites to inside homes. Normally wear out boots and shoes within 6 month. Normally I get the 8 inch boot. These time I got the shorter one. More noticeable feeling around ankle with this one then the taller boot. Not bad feeling just feels different. FYI these boots take a couple of days to break in. Once that happens you don't notice them on your feet. Also you need to lace them all the way up. Found with my other swats as well as these if you don't lace them to the top or don't tie them up they will rube. These boots are meant to be tied.

Finally I went back to Swat, they fit great, just to bad the soles squeek, but that's typical of SWAT.

Very poor quality. The sole has started coming out in both shoes after less than month of use. Never expected from the SWAT manufacturers. My sincere advice to the customers planning to buy these hoes Pl don't buy.

The product is advertised as 12 K while on the box it shows 8 K

returned these as they were broken in nicely, lol, and purchased them from OEM website, great boots no complaints. Would give the seller a second chance as they refunded with no hassle.
