I want to share my insights into what an outstanding product you have. During the 2009 International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Assoc (ILEETA) in Chicago I won as a contest participant a pair of your classic side zip (#1152) boots. I am also on the ILEETA Advisory Board and thankful for your firm’s support to ILEETA.

Since the day I received my boots I wear them daily in uniform and even off-duty if I am walking/standing they are just that comfortable. I have been in the military and law enforcement since 1976, I have worn boots of all configurations/brands. These Classic side-zips are the best wearing, most comfortable boot and/or shoe for that matter that I have ever worn.

Thank you for producing an outstanding product. Others should know that it is a have-to item for today’s police officer.

Original S.W.A.T.®, I was deployed twice to Iraq and I am currently in Afghanistan. I bought a pair of 9 inch classics in 2007 and wore them to Iraq on my second deployment. I had already used many different issued and personal boots throughout my military enlistment and these are by far the best I have ever had. I brought the same pair to Afghanistan and still wear them. I was infantry and now I am MP, as you know I have done many patrols and put a lot of miles on these boots on desert terrain. I will definitely continue to wear the SWAT as the time comes near to purchase another. Time and time again I have recommended these boots to my partners and they have been more than happy with their purchase. Many of my friends go through boots every couple months, I have actually made an investment by finding the right pair! Thank you so much.

Just got home from another swat mission, suicidal barricade (all went well I got the team inside to help this guy out), but what I wanted to say is-I wore your boots all day at the range then to this mission and 081973-M2-C1. Your boots are great. As I was gearing down after the save, I thought about how much work you have done to make this boot the best I have ever worn. I believe it is the best boot. You have done a lot of work on our behalf and I truly appreciate it. You made many changes from shoe strings, insoles, various rubber exterior soles, zipper sides, D rings, abrasion pieces, etc. It is your company and you did all of this for us and it is appreciated. I will do my best to get your boot on our list of approved tactical boots because I believe in the product, the response from your company is the best I have seen, and your enthusiasm to build a better tactical boot is impressive. Just thought I would drop you this line to let you know from me that all your efforts are appreciated. Sincerely, jk.

I am an active duty Major in the Air Force and have served in the military over 15 years. In that time, I've been searching for the perfect boot with no luck until I finally found the 9" classics from Original S.W.A.T.® They are by far the most comfortable and durable boots I have ever worn. I highly recommend them whether you ride a desk or are an aircrew member.

Original S.W.A.T.®, I am 48 years old, served 12 years in the U.S. Army Infantry, and have spent the last 13 years as a Member and Team Leader with Pittsburgh Police SWAT. I think I know boots, I live in them. Hands down, your 9" Coyote's are the best fitting, most comfortable boots I have ever owned!

I've been active duty Army for the past 15 years and wore all types of combat boots. I've experienced travels to Korea, Panama, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Kosovo, and three tours to Iraq.

I've worn issued and retail boots in search of boots that feel like comfortable running shoes; not too cushioned or boots too thin that you feel every rock under your feet. All the boots that I've worn require a break in period of several weeks and you always know that you'll get a few hot spots, but since I've been wearing the classic 9" boot for the past month my feet and lower back feel so much better.

These are the best combat boots that I have ever worn hands down!

Hi guys Last month, I attended a SWAT Marksman/Observer course in South Carolina. In one of the informal competitions among the students, I won a pair of your Classic 9" side zip boots. Timing could not have been better as my summer boots are worn out! The boots just arrived and I have to say that they are fantastic! Probably the most comfortable "out of the box" boots I have ever worn. Very light. Great flexibility. Built strong! Though I have very wide feet, these boots fit perfectly. I will definitely be ordering another set when my winter boots wear out! I really appreciate your supporting our training class with a great set of boots! Cheers, RP Reid,

I would like to thank you and policeone.com for the opportunity to win a free pair of boots from your Company. In these tough times an opportunity for free equipment, no matter how big or small, is always welcome. Original SWAT Boots, I want to thank you for your time and consideration, and for participating in the policeone.com Weekly Win Promotion. I have nothing but praise for your Company and will recommend your product to others in the future. Respectfully, Sgt. William Switzer Peoria Heights Police Dept. Peoria Heights, IL

By way of introduction, my name is Mickey Jones. I am an actor and because I have played so many bikers and I have been riding for over 40 years, I host a number of motorcycle events around the country each year.

In the summer of 2008, I hosted the High Desert Motorcycle Rally in Ontario, Oregon. I always like to walk through the crowd of vendors at each event just to say hello, give them my personal welcome, and let them know that I am glad they are here.

While greeting vendors at the High Desert Motorcycle Rally, I met Larry Gonzales at his booth for Original S.W.A.T.® footwear. Because Larry had a shady spot to sit down and relax, we had a few minutes to chat. Larry wanted to show me his boots. Now, I have been wearing the same motorcycle boots for years so I was not really interested in any NEW boots. My old, broken in boots were just fine, thank you. He finally convinced me to, at least, try on a pair of his Original S.W.A.T.® boots. I put the boots on and Larry had me walk down the midway and when I came back to the booth, I bought my first pair of boots in years.

I cannot explain just how my Original S.W.A.T.® boots have changed my life. After hosting a 12 hour day and being on my feet most of that time, I almost always get back to my room and my feet are killing me. At the end of my first 12 hour day, in my Original S.W.A.T.® ’s and being on my feet the entire day, I got back to my room and commented to my wife, My feet feel great and that has never happened before. I feel like I could go on another 12 hours. I am now married to my Original S.W.A.T.® boots. Believe me, this just might change your lifestyle like it has mine.
