Sometimes you just want what you want!

original swat boots for saleI just got trying out a couple other brands of tactical boots and I wasn’t happy.  I think there are a lot of really nice boot companies out there and there are vast differences in the designs.   We always listen to our customers when they tell us what they are looking for, and usually, if we hear it enough times we end up filling out a dealer application.  Right now we’re checking out various body armor companies and there are a few vest carriers that we are also checking out, but back to footwear.  I’ve said in previous posts that I have foot issues and I know what I want as soon as it’s on my feet and I’ not in pain.  There are certain boots that need break in periods but I have yet to have that type of thing with Original Swat boots.

There are always new boots coming out every year from Original Swat Footwear Company but the Style 1232 are my primarily.   I tend to wear the Original Swat boots for sale that we stock in our store so I can give my own testimony.   The Style 1152 are probable our most popular side zip boot followed by the boots with the air pocket for extra support.   In the 4yrs we’ve been selling these boots only one boot in this style every popped a bubble.   Backed by a factory warranty, these boots are the best boots in the $100 and less price range and we will continue to stock them for the foreseeable future.

The Air 9″ Side Zip MTO 1232 from Original Swat

The first week I wore the Style 1232 I noticed only a little extra weight from the walking I did, but I actually noticed immediately that the soles of my feet were fine.   The inside of the boot fit me well and I did not develope and sores or rough spotss.   My feet also did not sweat real bad and I was working in 80F weather.    The boots didn’t breath as well as sneakers, but who would expect that.   After 2 months of wearing the same boots for almost 6 days a week.   I have had almost no pain my feet and I have actually been able to lift more than I normally can without issues.   I guess it sounds pretty bad to have to talk about my poor physcial health, but just because you are wearing tactical gear, doesn’t mean you have to be the fastest runner on your team.

We were new to the idea of carrying tactical footwear, but our customers basically gave us enough feedback on what they wanted us to carry that we went out and contacted Original Swat to find out about being a dealer.   All of our Staff are presently wearing the product line and we’ll fill you in as time goes by on various styles and what people think of them.   I personally got a hold of the Style 1232 from Original Swat boots and given that I have had my fair share of foot problems, I wasn’t really sure how well my feet were going to handle wearing boots.   I had the unfortunate experience of having foot surgery on both feed in the last few years and my physical movements have been restricted because of the problems.   I was forced to wear sneakers in most situations just because they were much softer on my feet.
