Absolutely great for work my feet don't get tired after a 12 hrs shift. This is the best boot I've tried and I'm going to buy my 2nd pair now because of how stylish, comfortable and great is. Great job making it at its finest perfection
Thank you for the excellent field report, Samuel. Keeping you running, even after a 12 hour shift, is the comfort and quality we strive for. Honored to continue to earn our place in your stack.
Boots were a repeat buy. The first pair lasted for years. Great quality. They arrived quickly and well packed.
Years of wear and coming back for another pair—that's the kind of loyalty we don't take lightly. The Original S.W.A.T.® Classic 9' has been a trusted duty boot for decades, built around dependable comfort and durability. Glad the first pair earned its keep and the new ones arrived ready to go. Appreciate you sticking with us! 🫡
Very comfortable, way better made than the imposters claiming to be swat gear
We’ll take that comparison. 😏 The Original S.W.A.T.® Classic has been earning its place on duty for decades with proven comfort, dependable construction, and no need to pretend to be something it isn’t. Thanks for trusting the original. Stay safe out there. 🫡
I love them, very comfortable!
Great boot, size for me is spot on. Have consistently worn a pair of Original SWAT boots since the humble beginnings of my career 33 years ago.

daily construction use.
Fit is just as expected and initial impression of quality is that it is as good as the first pair I purchased about 15 years ago (which are just now needing replacement). The only thing I noticed which I'm not sure about is additional upper heal padding. Time will tell if that stays as comfortable as my first pair

Excellent boots. Been using this series and style for the last decade. Comfortable fit and wear well. Getting them wet can shorten life. Latest pair is odd set of colors vice only one color in the past. Not sure I like it, we’ll see how they last
Thank you for a decade of trust—that's an endorsement we don't take lightly.
We're glad to hear the Original SWAT® Classic continues to deliver the comfort and durability you've come to expect over the years. As for the color variation, we appreciate you pointing it out. Minor shade differences can occasionally occur between leather panels since they're made from natural materials, but they shouldn't impact the performance or longevity of the boot.
And you're right—while the Classic is built to handle tough duty, repeated saturation without proper drying can shorten the life of any leather boot. Giving them time to dry naturally between uses will help maximize their service life.
Thanks again for sticking with the Classic for the past 10 years. We appreciate your continued trust in Original SWAT® and look forward to keeping you mission ready for many more.
Best boots I've ever had. This is the 2nd pair I've owned. They're comfortable and durable for standing on your feet for a long time.
Thank you for the outstanding feedback. When customers come back for a second pair of the Original S.W.A.T.® Classic, we know it's because the boots have earned their place on the job. Built for long shifts, all-day comfort, and dependable durability, the Classic has been carrying professionals through tough days for decades.
We appreciate your trust and are honored to be part of your kit. Stay safe out there.
Great boot, 4th pair. Seem to out last all other brands. Easy on/off. Great service
That's the kind of field report we love to hear. The Original SWAT® Classic lineup has been putting in the hours since 1999 and is still trusted for a reason. Thank you for your support.
These boots are made from high quality materials, comfortable and durable. I have worn them for the majority of my law enforcement and public sector careers. They are locally made and highly recommended!!
correct pricing for a splendid product and quickly delivered to Europe. Thank you all for making this happen
Always an honor to deliver the best for the best. Stay ready.
Great service, received fairly quickly... LOVE!
Fast, squared away, and dialed in—that’s how it should be.
Glad everything landed quick and hit the mark. We appreciate the support—keep putting them to work.
Hi Original SWAT,
I have been wearing original SWAT safety boots for the last 20 years for work (Defense Industry) and I have worn out many pairs. I even now buy non-safety boots for casual wear, They are the lightest and most comfortable boot I have ever worn. They have kept my feet safe and in my opinion they 'look the business' on the work site and in public.
My only complaints are that:
- the durability of the boots is declining over the years with a pair is only lasting me 6-12 months
- it is difficult purchasing these boots whist in Australia and very difficult to purchase from Canada
Regards,
Steve Burdick

Steve, first off — 20 years in Original S.W.A.T.® boots is the kind of loyalty we don’t take lightly. We appreciate you trusting us on the job and off, and we’re glad to hear they’ve delivered the lightweight comfort, safety, and professional look you rely on.
That said, Sarge hears you on the reduced durability and the challenges getting boots in Australia and Canada — and that’s something we want to dig into with you directly. Your feedback matters, and we’d like the opportunity to make it right and get more details on what you’re experiencing in the field.
Please reach out to our team at info@originalfootwear.com
so we can take care of you and review your recent pairs.
Thanks again for standing with Original S.W.A.T.® safety and tactical boots all these years. We’ve got your six.
Did not know what to expect, but i actually really like this shoe. Sole is solid, i tightened the laces such that it felt snug but the zipper makes it really easy to take on and off, and after getting used to the stiffness at the ankle it was very comfortable.
Great Shoes. Awesome.
Honored to hit the mark for you.
Great boots…this is my second pair.
Sarge likes the sound of that — going back for a second pair is the best kind of field report.
The Original S.W.A.T.® Classic boots were built to deliver dependable comfort, durability, and duty-ready performance shift after shift. When they earn a repeat spot in your rotation, we know they’re doing their job.
Thanks for trusting Original S.W.A.T.® Classic tactical boots and for staying in the fight with us.
This is my 3rd set of Orignal Swat Boots. I use them for my motorcycle boot and many other utilitarion applications. Though I've always required a wide size, I'm a little surprised that the lace area seems so wide, making the boots appear undersized. This has no impct on the comfort or fit of the boot. It's just a design oversight, or so it would seem, on the wide sizes.
Thank you for riding with Original S.W.A.T.® and for trusting us through three pairs of boots — that kind of loyalty means a lot to our team.
We’re glad to hear your Classic 9' Side Zip boots continue to deliver the comfort, fit, and versatility you rely on for both motorcycle use and everyday utility. Your feedback on the lace area appearance in the wide sizing is truly appreciated. Design balance across extended width sizes is something we continuously evaluate, and insights like yours help us refine future improvements without compromising the performance and comfort our operators expect.
If there’s ever anything we can do to further dial in your fit or support your next pair, our team has your six.
Original S.W.A.T.® — Comfort. Durability. Ready for the Long Ride.

My favorite boot
Appreciate the support. We’re glad the gear delivered and thank you for choosing Original Footwear. — Sarge
Great boot for everyday work.
Thanks for the review and for trusting Original Footwear. — Sarge
I got a pair of these about 7 years ago and they have been really good and I just bought a new pair 2 months ago. I highly recommend💯
That’s what time-tested duty gear looks like. When a pair of Classics puts in seven solid years and earns a re-up, we know they’ve done exactly what they were built to do—show up every shift and hold the line.
Thank you for the recommendation and for trusting the Classic again. Built the old-school way. Ready for whatever today throws at it. 💯
best boots so far
Glad to hear we are hitting the mark for you. Thank you for letting us know.
Worn these boots for years, walk a lot So I go through a pair per gear
That’s what we like to hear; mission accomplished! Thanks for trusting us to deliver every time. We’ll keep building the gear you can count on, shift after shift.
This is my 5th pair and love them.This pair is nosiest when walking have never had that problem before so kind of disappointed
Thanks so much for sticking with us through your five-pair journey, we’re glad to hear how much you love your shoes overall.
We’re sorry to hear this latest pair of the Classics are being “noisier” than your previous ones. That’s definitely not the experience we aim for. Please drop us a message to info@orginalfoootwear.com (include your order # if handy) and describe when/how the noise happens (walking on hard vs soft surfaces, zipper area vs sole, etc).
We really appreciate you letting us know so we can keep improving, thanks for being a loyal customer.
