Original S.W.A.T. Men's Chase 9" Side Zip-m Outdoors Equipment

I have been wearing these boots, rain or shine, in the water and the snow for about 6 months now. They have been extremely comfortable and fairly water proof if I don't go wading in knee deep water for 20 minutes. They did not require any break in at all, I was very surprised and giving the price point I have been very impressed with how well they are holding up. I am not a little guy, all 280 lbs of me like these boots. I am usually on my feet at least 4 to 5 hours everyday. These boots are easy to put on and provide really solid ankle support. I would love to buy another pair!

[UPDATE 09/12/2019]So I had these for a total of 5 years. Wearing them on and off and wearing them casually or for work or for trekking in the woods. They took a beating especially just recently since I wear them for work exclusively for my new job. They're still pretty comfortable to wear and they don't smell so the anti microbial thing is still good, one of the zipper pulls broke off recently but I can still zip them up with some pliers. Other then that I can honestly say that I got my money's worth and then some out of these boots, this was a great investment I made for my feet.[UPDATE 10/29/2014]its been six months since I bought these boots I got to say that these definitely were a great buy, I'm a size 10 and I ordered a size 10 as well, I found they fit a little bit loose but nothing too serious, normally you would wear thick padded socks with these types of boots. after I bought some they just fit very nice, so after 6 months of trekking and abusing these boots not only have they held up they still SMELL good. They are so comfortable I even wear them casually. I would wear them to work as well if my job didn't have a uniform policy.Pros. very affordable, durable, comfortable, light weight, side zipper makes putting them on easy.Cons. the only con I would say is that they are not made in the US, theyre actually (or at least my pair) were made in Cambodia. Doesn't bother me much to be honest just thought I mention it.

I first bought a pair of these boots in 2014 and i have worn them almost every day for 9 years. Hiking, camping, hunting, working and these boots performed excellent without a flaw until the zipper on one boot jammed and I was unable to fix it. If I could have fixed or had someone else fix the zipper, I would still be wearing those boots right now. I was so impressed that I would not buy any other boot. I had to have the same boot again. The new boots that I just received are exactly the same as the first pair. There has been no cutback in the quality of the material used nor the high standard of workmanship in these boots. Just like the first pair they fit so well and are so comfortable that they require no break-in period. you can put them on, wear them all day and never worry about sore or tired feet. I am a large 300b man and I could not say that about any other boot or shoe I have ever owned. Thank you Original Swat for making an excellent pair of boots.

These are great boots at a great price. I've not had any problems and this is my second pair. First pair was getting a little worn on the tread so I needed some new one ones. I'm surprised at how well these have worn. I came to them as I was issued a pair for training but had my own. I started wearing them as my casual boots. That was over two years ago and they are still going. They are great for work or play! For the price, you cannot beat the quality and longevity.

The shoes are fantastic, husband needs good ankle support and a comfortable shoe as he works all day on his feet and suffers from diabetic foot pain as well as an old ankle injury. He loves the boots and the side zipper makes it easy on and off. We ordered a size 13 Wide, the width is fine, however, the size was a bout 1 size too large. We are currently replacing for a size 12. I look forward to him getting wear his new boots all day and see how well he likes them then. Looking forward to the new package to arrive so that he can finally enjoy them.

Just received my 2nd pair and I got to say that even though these are a little more than the lower priced made in China models they are worth it. Excellent fit and quality and very easy to put on using the side zip feature. Ive bought the lower priced side zippers in other brands and struggle getting my foot into them even after loosening the laces to the point of being too loose. I really like these boots!

This is my third pair of SWATS and as always the size is true to my American feet. Size thirteen means size thirteen. They wear on forever(one of my other pair is four years old) and they are light and comfortable. I have never had a blister issue and they break in right out of the box. Buy a pair and you won't be sorry.

Amazing boot very comfortable. Im a Timberland guy but this shoe made my feet feel great so easy to put on. Also great tactical boot.
