I'm a Correctional Officer in Canada and I work in a jail. I spend lots of time on my feet and I suffer from achilleas tendonitis. These boots are great! The extra cushioning in the pad by the back of the boot helps a lot. I spend 12 hours walking on concreate and going up and down stairs during my rounds. My feet do get pretty hot in these boots as they are waterproof. After my shift ends and I go home, I take the insoles and put the boots by the air vest to dry them out before my next shift.
The traction is amazing! There is virtually no wear on the bottom. I have been wearing them for around 6 months. Everything is holding up. Stitching and the soles.
The side zip is great. I unzip them when my feet get warm. By far my favorite boots from original swat to date.
That’s what we like to hear—real miles, real results.
Putting in 12-hour shifts on concrete and stairs is no joke, and we’re glad the cushioning and support are helping take some pressure off your Achilles. That’s exactly the kind of all-day performance we build for.
You’re spot on about the warmth—waterproof boots will run hotter by design, and pulling the insoles to air out post-shift is the right move to keep them fresh and ready for the next round.
Great callout on the traction, durability, and side zip—those are mission-critical features, especially in your line of work.
We appreciate what you do and are honored to be part of your kit. Stay safe and keep them moving.
Perfect
Light weight but very well made. Extremely comfortable and I’m glad I gave them a shot. I wear a 11.5 and they were just slightly larger. I will try a 11 next time.
Appreciate you giving the Alpha Fury 6' a shot—and glad they delivered on lightweight strength and comfort. Thanks for sharing the sizing intel too; dialing in the fit is mission critical. Respect for choosing Original S.W.A.T.®—we’ve got your six when you’re ready for pair #2.
Estupendo. Magnífico.
Just ok. Soles are falling apart quickly
Squeaky noise when walking on certain surfaces.
