i got a pair of their Classic 9" boots and they're great. Very light and very comfortable. My main issue is that they came out of the box pretty stiff and took a little time to break in, but after walking around for a while they felt fine. The biggest issue I have with Original SWAT, is that they emailed me my password, which means that they're storing passwords in plain text and have access to them. I would recommend against making an account with them until they've rectified the issue. EDIT: The above is no longer the case. Original SWAT's response to my review definitely made me change it from 4 stars to 5. Awesome customer support, awesome boots! I'd recommend them to anybody.

Hello sir, Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention. Based on your feedback, we have stopped emailing the password in the welcome email that customers receive upon registering with the website. I'm very sorry for the mistake. I can assure you that the passwords are stored in an encrypted format. None of our employes, hosting partners, or anyone else that touches the site is able to access your password in any kind of human-readable format. Even if someone could gain access to the database, they would only be able to see the jumbled, long string of letters and numbers that serves as a placeholder for a customer's password. Unfortunately, it just happens that the email you saw showed your password in plain text since the system programmatically decrypted your password in order to send it to you via email. Due to the nature of email transmission, I can see your concern. As I said, thanks to you, that has been resolved. I apologize the issue, and I am very grateful that you've brought it to our attention. Best regards, JP

I worked in the security field for 10 years, constant patrol and in every weather condition. I first got the inch zip boots which were great but not waterproof. Then I got the waterproof ones and loved them. The boot shape feels much better than the bates boots or acg's. Acg's are great but too heavy. Original swat boots fit great and are light and easily maintained. The only problem is that the sole is very hard. This is good in that it gives support, but tends to hurt if you don't have good soles. But I have heel spurs and plantar fasciitis so it may just be me. If you patrol def check out original swat, just get your own insoles.

I am a big fan of Original Swat boots, they are light weight and comfortable, however, I have had a few problems in the past. The last pair I had developed a squeak in the right boot. It was very noticeable with every step. The pair before that, the pull tabs broke off of both zippers. In all fairness, I put a lot of miles on them without problems before they went bad.

Hello sir, I'm sorry that had several issues with your boots, but I hope you can help us. We like to fully understand and keep track of these kinds of issues so that we can constantly improve our manufacturing process. Could you tell me if you can tell where that squeak came from? Was it near the ball of the foot, to either the left or right, or perhaps closer to the heel? And what model of boots and what shoe size did you discover the issue on? The zipper pull tabs were actually redesigned so that the metal is thicker and runs the full length of the tab. This redesign was implemented about 18 months ago. I'm sorry to say that you must have purchased boots from the batch that had an occasional problem when under heavy use. If you do need replacement pull tabs, just let our customer service department know (1-888-476-7700) and they'll be happy to help. Thank you for your feedback. Best regards, JP

These are my second pair of OS boots. I use them for scenario paintball. I wanted a lighter boot so I could run faster, so I went with the 5" side zip. I personally like OS boots because of the arch support and stability. My first pair has lasted me two years so far. Playing paintball and using them in the snow.

No really, seem like great boots. Will have to wait a few months for winter to use them. Trying to prepare ahead of time. Bought them on recommendation from a co-worker.
