It's all I wear anymore.  They're my work boots.....and my loafers.   The sole is a softer compound so if you wear them for walking around (I'm on my feet all day long on a construction site, up and down five flights of stairs, etc.) they do wear out much quicker than vibram soles.  But that softer compound is part of why they're so comfortable and as cheap as they are.....it's a fair trade off.   Kind of like Metzlers or other soft compound tires......they just wear out quicker.  The more you use them, the more they wear out.

Terrie,
said it will be the last draw if he starts wearing them to bed.

Yep.....she'll want to start wearing hers to bed.

That may be true.....but nobody makes em more comfortable than Original Swat.

Time to order another pair.

My Red Wings were comfortable from the start and are still that way.

My Red Wings were from the start and still are quite comfortable

Same here - working, as I did when I was young, in the Oil Business, I wore nothing but Redwings since the 1970s.  Fantastic boots.

A number of us in Nor Cal wear the Original Swat Boots and we get asked about them from time to time.  For those that were asking yesterday, I just decided to post a thread.......

These boots are the lightest weight boots I've ever picked up and are actually more comortable than my tennis shoes (which means that's one less thing that I have to pack).  

I wear the 9" Classic side zip during the summer and this was my first introduction to the Original Swat boots.  However, for the winter travel, I also have the rain proof boots in side zip.

I have nerve damage in my left leg and foot, from my accident.......this is the first boot that I can wear and either stand in or walk in all day long and still be comfortable.  I guess there's a reason all the law enforcement all over the country wear them.

OK, I bought a pair.
Everything everyone said is right.
Great boots!
Wore them all day yesterday, all day today.
Just ordered Nancy a set.

Light weight, comfortable, no real break in period required, waterproof...what more could you ask for?

I looked in both shoes, no crank.
One less thing to worry about.

I have a real foot problem. Lost all my toes on my right foot when a lady ran a stop sign and t-boned me on my bike. Took the top of my foot right off. Now I have a plastic insert in my right shoe to fill in the space and help me balance. Had to ware special shoes. Saw a pair of SWATS at a motorcycle rally and tried them. They worked pretty good. When they wore out I couldn't find anyone local selling them as I have to size them for the plastic insert and can't order online. Went into a local police uniform shop. Found a brand called 5.11, its what the real police and swat use. They are light weight padded well and comfortable. They come in low and high top, with and without zipper. I like the high top as it gives more support and protects your ankle while riding. I like the zipper style better also. The price is a little more around a hundred bucks but its what then pro's are using in real life. They are available for a little less online. Most police uniform shops will have them and stocked in multiple sizes.

I have purchased from here and they have been a great company to deal with. As for prices I think you can search the net and see.

Bought a pair of Original Swat Air M.T. Tactical Waterproof - all leather to replace my Bates. My feet are wide and so limits who I can go with. Wore the Swats on 2 rides and fell in love with them. The sole is very "tacky" and sticks to the footrest that I can't "slide" my foot around - not a bad thing, just different.
