The reason is not protection. It's a compromise to be able to chase down perps and kicks ass. This is in no way a booth that offers good protection in a crash. It's a compromise and if that's what you wnat that's great.


You are correct and I stand to be corrected.....all the boot topics are old.  And when I said "it's been beat to death" I didn't mean that the way it may have been construed.  I apologize if it was taken wrong.

There's a reason law enforcement and fire fighters wear Original Swat....super lightweight, super comfortable, excellent traction and your feet stay dry even when you're standing in water.

The down side.....because the inner and outter soles are so soft, they wear out in a year.

The up side....at $85 a pair on Amazon and for this kind of comfort you can afford to replace them yearly.  :2vrolijk_21:

I suggest, for your first pair, go with the Original Swat 9" Classic side zip.  For winter time you may want to look at the Original Swat 9" Tactical (they're also side zip).

5.11 atac-storm is an alternative to the swat brand.

Been wearing for last 6 years with no issues.....the knife pocket is a nice feature also.

The best $89 dollar Harness boots you'll ever buy...
http://www.leatherup.com/p/Mens-Motorcycle-Boots/Xelement-1443-Mens-Motorcycle-Harness-Biker-Boot-with-Lug-Sole/42057.html

I bought these as well and I like them as much as the $220 Double H Harness boots I mentioned above.

Not cheap but there half price currently I've ridden with them for years nice to walk around in, no lacing up, they slip on easy and waterproof. You can have them resoled at Resole America for $70.00 when the time comes.

Look like Wesco's I bought a couple months ago. Well made, but takes a while to break them in.

These are the first pair of White's Boots that I've purchased.  I've been a boot buyer for 50 years and I always thought I knew what a good quality boot was.  This is by far the best quality boots I've ever owned.  These are my semi dress work boots.  They also make lineman boots, packer boots, cowboy boots, hunting boots and motorcycle boots.

I know I'll get a lot of opposition to this post, but for me the best ever boots are made by Esatto.  I have a pair of Esatto hikers and love them.  I've worn them for over fifteen years and ride with them year round; granted I live in Louisiana so the winters aren't the sub zero temps I experienced in Fargo, but I've ridden over 100 miles nonstop with temps in the teens with never a problem. I've had them resoled a few times and still love them.  One drawback is cost - but like my wife says, "you get what you pay for".   :coolblue:

Looked at their website. Looks like lineman's boots are going to be a hassle to order a pair. Been wearing Redwing Lineman's boots for years now and they work for me. I like the looks of the arch that White's puts in their boots though.

Not hard to order.  Their boots run 1/2 size smaller than your tennis shoes.  I wear an 11.5 in New Balance and size 11 in White's fit perfect.  They will do custom orders also, if you have one foot that is a lot bigger than the other.  I think they charge more for the complete custom design.

I just checked out their website.  They look like a very high quality boot.  You are right, they also have a very high quality price.  I don't get surprised easily, but their price surprised me.
