Just received a pair of 6" Black originals from Baumshoe.  Very comfortable and pleased with these boots!  Thanks for the recommendation JC

After having my feet get wet at Laconia every year with each of the HD boots I have, I decided to go this route as well.  I figured that if the police can waer these all day, they must be comfortable and light.  My requirement were side zipper and WATERPROOF.  I bought them from Bates at the local police supplier.  I asked fort my usual shoe size (EEE) and they fit great.  They are all I wear now.  I imagine that the soles will wear faster than the traditional boots because of the softer material on the bottoms.  I'd never buy anything else.

The soles do wear faster than most boots.  But at half the price and twice the comfort I think that's a non-issue for me.

I've said it before.....I have nerve damage in my left foot and I've tried boots, tennis shoes, cushion insoles, etc.  and these things work!  I can't imagine ever trying anything else when I can stand or walk all day (I wear the Classics to work everyday......they are the nylon woven tops) in these and still wear thm when I get home.  Like you and others, I'll never buy anything else.  They are a proven product.

I’ve just bought the two pair below within the last month. I lucked up and got the Bass Pro’s on sale for $ 50.00. Both are waterproof and comfortable. I’ve worn Danner’s for years hunting and never had a problem, plus you can send them back to be refurbished for a fee.

For the money, you cant beat the quality and comfort of the Original Swat Boots. 

[Rooster]

I wore Danners for a long time as they are made in Portland Oregon. Close to me but after getting the Swat boots the danners are heavy as cement. I like my Cruiserworks for rainy days though. The 6 inch Swats are the only ones I can wear, to bad they don't make the 6 inch waterproof ones any more.

Got mine yesterday and wore them today. Very comfy right out of the gate!

Terrie would take issue with "they look good".........she says they're butt ugly but the most comfortable boot she's ever put on.

I just finished riding 2 1/2 hours in the rain in my Original Swat rain proof boots for the first time.  They feel the same as my Classics w/side zip but my feet are dry!

So all in all..........a great bang for the buck, huh?

Thanks JCZ
I was looking for new boots and these look like the answer.  The 3 choices for waterproof show the one with the side zipper as insulated and I don't want that but it looks like the first option does not have the zipper.  Is this correct?
Thanks
