Don’t get confused but they are still making your Original Swat footwear

original swat bootsWe have had this happen a few times in the past but this year we have a few SKU changes with the Original Swat footwear company.  Some of the boots that we have carried in recent years  have been given a new product code and it will be a little confusing for some in the short term, but eventually it will  work itself out.  Boots like the 1271 were a big hit but the product code has changed to the 116101.   Boxes are still marked with the old product codes but are being sold as a different one.   This was for inventory management on their end and not ours.   Some of the composite safety toe boots are very popular because school security or bank security guards don’t want the high boots.

There are a few other new boots we are bringing in stock this year and it’s looking like it will be a shorter boot that wins out in 2013.   The 126101 and the 116101 have been a biggest selling 6 inch Original swat boots and recently surpassed the 1151 boots.  The 1151 coyote is a favorite of ours with our local township and municipalities.   There’s just something eye catching about that boot and even those the size zip boots outsell the lace up, the 1151 is very popular.   Make sure you take advantage of our winter beanie cap promo and check out our Broomall, Pennsylvania showroom that is stocked with the Original Swat footwear tactical boots.

Original Swat Footwear have you heard of them before?

We have been stocking the Original Swat footwear products for almost 3yrs now and have put in 3yrs of running the Atlantic City Police and Security Expo for them.  It’s nice to get positive feedback from customers about a product year after year and this past year was the most successful.  When the customer base grows and they keep coming back, you know you’re doing something right.  These tactical boots keep getting lighter and lighter and it’s always fun to see someones face the first time they pick them up.   The Original Swat style 1232 are my favorite because the air cushion that it has really gives you more support.  I’ve got worn down feet and I can really tell when the sole of a boot or shoe is giving in.
After spending about $20 per month on replacing Doctor Scholls for my feet the costs of having sneakers that were light, but lost support really started to add up.   I picked up a different kind of gel insert that supposedly has a 2yr warranty, but we shall see,  the lightest tactical boots that we have right now are the Original Swat Chase low series.  These are available in Black and Tan.   If you compare this product line to most of what you see at Cabel’s or Dick’s Sporting goods, you’re probable dealing with atleast a 40% lighter boot.  That really means something to a Police Officer or  an Operator.

The best boot for the buck and the lightest

The Original Swat footwear company has been gaining lots of ground over recent years and there 10+ year in the tactical boot world is an accomplishment.  Many tactical clothing companies have come and gone in that time period and it is a testament to the companies viability.   We are expecting several new products in 2012 and some of them are already available even though they are not listed on the Original Swat boot website.

Some tactical boots cost an arm and a leg and although they are durable they are more than what you need or want to wear on  your feet.  Our number on tactical boots are the Original Swat 1232 Air 9 inch.  These boots are the lightest tactical boots and give you outstanding support.   We know that are many in the Law Enforcement community that develop foot problems over the years and we have gotten so much feedback about the support that these boots have that we just have to pass that info off to our customers.

Serious footwear for the job

When you realize that retiring your sneakers after running around on a firing range is a good idea, there are other things to consider depending on how serious you are about footwear and protecting  your feet.   Many of us have had those blue collar jobs where steel toe boots were mandatory, but technology is slowly replacing steel toe boots and more and more people are wearing composite toe footwear.   Many of our customers are walking in and out of prisons and not having to take your boots off and on is one less hassle.

The next we want to start seeing is the replacement of steel shanks for composite shanks and for anyone that has to break down doors, not having to worry about a nail going through your foot is good comfort.   There are many Original Swat boots to choose from, but do your research on all of the features that the Original Swat footwear company has to offer.   We’ve  been carrying their tactical boots for barely a year now, but customer response and the innovation of certain styles is impressive.

Classic 9″ Tan Side Zip 1152TAN

Original Swat boots have been in our warehouse for over a year now and from a dealer standpoint, we are very happy working for them.   We worked the booth at the NYTOA in 2011 and the Atlantic City Police and Security Expo in New Jersey.   Many of the boots looked the same to us but as we got customer feedback and we learned the product line, nothing could be further from the truth.  Recently we had a few guys from in Biker glubs show up at our store because Original Swat has been sponsoring some of their events.  One thing every really likes about them from Law Enforcement to Military and even guys riding motorcycles, is that they are light.

The Classic 9″ side zip looks a lot like a regular boot, but it has a steel shank and sized zip for easy on and off as well as shank protection.   Some of the new colors that have come out are very eye catching and it’s fun to see people’s reaction when they walk past the booth displays and notice them.   Seeing images on the internet on your monitor may not jump out at you, but the Sage, Burgandy and Tan Original Swat boots look very nice and don’t look all Police or Swat looking.   The Sage 1150 boots are very popular with the guys being deployed to Afghanistan.

Getting ready for the training, got your guns and gear, but what about your boots?

I’ve seen plenty of guys really worn down about half way through a training course and there is usually a mount of unwanted gear tossed somewhere on a range.  Mag pouches, ammunition, gun parts and backpacks can really wear you out if you are over packed.   Getting a gun that is a pound or two lighter than really makes a difference especially if you’ve ever thrown some of your ammunition on a scale to see how much 30rds of .223 actually weighs.  One other thing to seriously consider doing is lightening the footwear you are using.   Sneakers may be good for an urban environment to some degree, but not good on rough surfaces.

Wearing your steel tip boots that were meant for construction workers is also an over kill.   Original Swat boots has a broad selection of footwear to choose from and if you want support, and don’t want to get weight down.  Try the 1232 Air 9″ Side Zips.   These boots always impress people when they put them on and feel how light they are.  If you want a steel toe, try the composite toe try the 1260 boots.   These won’t transfer cold like steel toe boots but give you the protection you need.
