Original S.W.A.T.Classic 9" Lace-Up - Unisex Boots - Leather Upper - Padded Tongue & Collar - Textile Lining

This boot is super light like a sneaker/tennis shoe but with great protection! Meets all the military Standards and doesn't look over the top like most Nike, Oakly, danner, Bates, and so on and so forth are getting to be! Its a Modest boot with extrodinary capability! The Price is unmatched as well! I paid $135 for a pair of Phoenix Gear boots with a Vibram sole and within 6 months there was a hole in the back of the heel (you have got to be kidding me) SMDH that is a lot of money to shell out for something that doesn't perform. These are super comforatble as well! I did a 12 mile ruck in them and only had on small blister on the top of my left big toe where the boot bends at the forend! In 6 years I have had 2 pairs and wear them every day at work and I have a deployment and I even have a few jumps on these boots and they are still kicking! I first saw these in a Surplus store outside of Ft Hood TX 2006 or 2007 for $69 (bought and loved) and they have since went up to $99 but I snagged these for $59 on sale here on Amazon! I can't stress enough how well rounded these Combat boots really are! Ditch all the expensive crap and go with what works, lasts, adhears to regs, is light, durable, and most importantly Comfortable!

I bought these for my husband for work. We originally looked at Dr. Marten's and decided on this brand after reading the reviews from people who work on their feet all day. These were comfortable and ready to wear straight out of the box. He is a retail manager and needed something that wouldn't hurt his feet after long shifts. These do that and look amazing at the same time. I was so impressed with these boots. We have never spent this much money on shoes for work before, but these were definitely worth every cent. I have a feeling they will last for years to come because of the superb craftsmanship. They look "heavy" but really are quite lightweight for the style. These are definitely his favorite pair of shoes.

I have gone through a lot of military boots, just looking for a pair that fit my wide foot. I don't know what has happened to military jungle boots. I first came into the service 20 years ago. It seemed like every manufacturer made them correctly, and they fit right in wide, lasted long and they were 50 dollars everywhere. I am going to end my search with this boot here. I bought the Danner GTX Desert Boots in 10 2E. Those were really impressive, expensive and high quality boots, but the 2E was not wide enough to get my foot into the boots. I have had several pairs of Belleville boots military boots. I find them to be too heavy, and my back hurts at the end of a day. Belleville also seems to have some wild size variations between the different models of their boots, and that is frustrating. I have had several pairs of Wellco desert jungle boots that did not last vary long. On one pair of these boots, I tore up the interior very quickly. On another pair I had, they permanently changed color when I got them wet. After this, the leather never recovered, and became crinkly.So, for boots that come in wide, I was between these Classic 9's and another set of Bates Durashocks. I have had great experiences with Bates Durashocks, and their wide fit is excellent. I just do not understand why the Durashocks are so expensive now. They certainly do not have the quality of the Danner boots I returned. (near 200 dollars) In my opinion, as much as I like Bates, nothing they make should cost over 100 dollars.To give you an idea of the wide width I am looking for, I wear New Balance gym shoes that come in 4E width, and Dunham dress shoes that also come in 4E. I had a pair of Magnum Stealth II boots that I loved. They came in regular or wide, except that their version of wide was luxuriously wide enough. These Classic 9s come in regular or wide also. Unfortunately, they do not offer triple wide or 4E sizes. Holding my foot to the bottom of the sole, my foot is almost a quarter inch wider than the boot itself. While this scared me at first, the way the boot is cut nothing is rubbing or stabbing me in the widest part of my foot, and they give a little right where I need it. These boots are a lot lighter than Bellevilles or Durashocks, and yet they have a really sturdy and springy feel to them. For 80 dollars, I am going to try and break them in a bit on the width. I bought them in two different colors I am so pleased. I really hope these boots are never discontinued.

I had the safety toe side zip model of these boots before this, and they've lasted me for 3 years of heavy use. The only reason I felt the need to replace them was that the side zip had started losing teeth and wouldn't close any longer.These news ones have a few improvements over my old ones that I noticed right away. On the old ones, the eyelets were simple plastic rivets. After a lot of tying and untying, the eyelets had started to grind apart. These are similar plastic rivets, but the backing is metal, so I imagine they'll hold up a lot longer.The laces are thicker and feel like they'll hold up longer as well. Overall, I'm very excited to get back out there in these incredibly comfortable boots!

Nice boots if you don't have wide or sore feet. The bottoms are hard as a rock. I cant believe that boot companies don't go all out on their choice of insoles [like Rocky does] A cheap insole makes the boots seem cheap too. Whereas a good one does the opposite.
