I like the boots quite a bit overall. They seem like they'll hold up over time, they're properly waterproof.
My only gripes are that the side zip doesn't open up sufficiently to get my foot in easily. I think the material behind it providing the waterproofing needs to be just a touch wider.
That said, I also miss having a tab or loop on the back of the boot to aid forcing my foot in when it is tight. Having to grip the ankle cuff is difficult, and needlessly so.
Appreciate the solid field feedback. Glad the Original S.W.A.T.® Metro is delivering on waterproof protection and overall build. Your notes on the side-zip opening and adding a rear pull loop are exactly the kind of real-world details that matter when you’re getting boots on and getting to work.
We’ll pass both points along to our Product Development team. Thanks for putting the Metro through its paces and giving us something useful to work with. 🫡

Love em, already looking to buy an other pair
