Editorial Reviews:
How do you take a best-selling boot like the Original S.W.A.T. classic 9-inch tactical boot and make it better? By adding a heavy duty side zipper to allow easy on and off. And best off all, they did it without changing the many comfort-enhancing and durability-building features of the original classic tactical boot. With the zipper you can jump in and out of these boots in a fraction of the time it takes to lace and tie them. Great for EMS/EMT, first responders, and other emergency, public safety and homeland defense personnel as well as those who just want an easy-on-easy off boot. Available in size 7 to 15, with half sizes up to 12. Also available in wide widths, starting at size 8.

Customer Rating: Summary: Okay, but... Comment: Well, I bought this boot because it was advertised as being "airport-friendly". This one in particular is not, it has a steel shank. The boot itself is comfortable and useable, I use it for riding motorcycles. No it does not have steel toe. I needed a boot for my commute to work, and I found another alternative where I need a non-metallic boot. This one is for non-work days then. Customer Rating: Summary: Believe the hype. Comment: I was in Laughlin for the Annual River Run Motorcycle Rally and was growing rather fatigued from my big, clunky leather motorcycle boots. On Thursday I had seen the S.W.A.T. boots at a vendor's booth with a big banner that read "Most Comfortable Boots You'll Ever Own." Friday morning, my legs were so tired from the previous day's walking that I decided to put these boots to the test. Prior to attending a concert on Friday night, I sought out the booth. After a half hour of searching, I found it, tried on the boots and bought them. Best purchase I had made the entire weekend! Best boots I have ever bought. I could walk around in these things for days without feeling like I'm wearing concrete shoes. Decided to buy myself another pair, just in case... Customer Rating: Summary: Comfortable, Mobile and Functional! Comment: I had recently purchased the Original SWAT boot because my last boots (a different brand) were on their last leg and were falling apart (they were over 4 years old). My business travels take me to a wide range of military bases and urban search and rescue training facilities where I need to be in boots (not necessarily steel-toed). I recently found out about these boots from a colleague and purchased a pair, which turned out to be the best boot purchase I have ever made. Not only are these boots are easy to slide on and off, especially with the side-zipper, they provide snug support and definitely allow your feet to breathe while on the job. I have no complaints about this product...definitely a must for anyone that is active in tactical environments.
