A Tactical Store that stocks stuff for women

Original Swat bootsWe all know that there are some pretty tough women in Law Enforcement, Military and even some women that’ll kick your ass in IDPA.   One of the biggest complaints we had from women 10yrs ago, when we first got into the tactical clothing industry was that all of the stuff they had access to was mens tactical clothing.    Every once in awhile we might be sold out of a certain womans pant style or boot style,  and they’ll happily walk out the door with mens pants or boots and just tough it out.   Without turning this into an anatomy course on why women can’t wear the same clothing as men all the time, just be glad that there is a steady market out there geared towards women in Law Enforcement, Security and competition shooting.   Just look at the pink AR15 accessories Magpul has out.

Recently we evaluated our footwear line and cut out styles that didn’t move as quickly  but put in more of the Original Swat footwear for women.  There aren’t many color options in the tactical boot line, but let’s be real, the majority of Original Swat boots are going to be for people that need to wear black boots.   The new Chase Series footwear are available in tan and we will be testing those out to see if they sell as well as the 1152F side zip boots did.   It seems that just like the men, women prefer side-zip boots over the tradition 9inch lace up boots.   There is also a chase low style for women that will be listed shortly.

3yrs of customer feedback on Original Swat boots

We still get a large number of people in our store that have never heard of the Original Swat footwear company, but locally, there are more and more of our Police Departments wearing their products.  We have seen several improvements and re-designs with their products as well as some very new lightweight tactical boots.   I personally have worn the boots for over 3yrs and not a single one of them has been flawed or fell apart on me and I wear them 7 days a week.  There are differences in what people’s line of work is and not everyone is going to need wear waterproof or composite toe boots.  If you haven’t noticed, steel toe footwear is a thing of the past.

The SEK900 were a very popular all leather boot for us but for some reason they were discontinued.   The 1150 Original Swat Boots are still the most popular lace up boot and the 1152 and now 1312 Chase Low boots are the most popular side zip boots.  Boots are increasing becoming lighter and lighter as the materials have improved.  The Slip on Moc boots are also very popular with the EMS as well as our number one Paramedic boot the waterproof 1234 which is a waterproof version of the 1232 air boots. We have seen what Original Swat is coming out with this SHOT SHOW and are looking forward to the new Chase low womens footwear.

Tactical Boots in stock for all seasons and jobs

Footwear is as diverse and the needs for various styles of footwear are paramount to what the user is doing with them. waterproof boots can get hot and uncomfortable in some situations but when you don’t want to get your feet wet you need waterproof footwear. The metro traction boots have a unique foot traction sole and are going to feel a lot more like a pair of sneakers with a better grip on the road. The Air Zip 1232 is one of the biggest sellers because the balance between support and comfort.  Just like tactical pants and tactical gloves people need to find what’s right for them.  Original swat footwear has a diverse product line to accommodate diverse users.

The Metro traction style of boots from Original Swat are far more comfortable to wear for every day use. We have gotten a lot of feedback over the last few years about the Original swat boots we have been selling and we are continuing to learn about the products every time we hear from a customer. The SEK9000 is the leather Cadillac of the original swat tactical footwear, but they are not what the average Swat team operator is going to want to wear when they are not all suited up. The new Chase Low footwear gives a new athletic footwear feel and a new market for the Original Swat footwear company.
