5.0 out of 5 stars Love these boots

Love these boots! I bought these in a size 8.. I am female and wear a normal 9.5. I had a terrible motorcycle accident 9 years ago and had to have my foot reattached at the ankle. So I need a boot that gives me support. Harley boots are no longer an option as they do not have the support in the bottom for your arch and I find them no longer fitting due to the scarring and other things in my ankle. These boots are great!! They have a great arch support. Great ankle support without putting pressure on my ankle. I wear them riding, wear them hiking, wear them to go to the grocery store!! Extremely comfortable and I can wear them all day. I will be buying another pair of these just so I have a spare should I wear these out. Well worth the money!

My son was looking for a pair of boots for paintball and found the Original SWAT 9" in a local store. These were exactly what he was looking for. While they fit him the best they were a bit pricey compared to the others.
I found/bought the exact same model on Amazon and saved about $60 even with shipping!...which was very quick btw.
The boots fit him perfectly and match the size that he normally wears. VG construction and expecting the boots to wear well for its intended purpose.
He's more than happy with them and ditto for me as I saved a few $$ :)

These are some seriously comfortable boots. I'm constantly on my feet at work, and my feet aren't even sore after work. There's some arch support in the back, which makes driving a little cumbersome. I also about these for their slip resistant rubber soles. I'm not sure if anything can be slip resistant to surfaces that are covered in oil and water, but these boots have much better traction than my previous shoes. These are some good work shoes, and I'm hoping they'll last for a while before I have to buy another pair.

2.0 out of 5 stars Anfibio di medio qualità con precoce usura interno tallone
Reviewed in Italy on October 15, 2020
Size: 12 Women/12 MenColor: BlackVerified Purchase
Esperienza non esaltante per questo anfibio, comunque di media qualità e quindi si difende bene.
L'avrei preferito ancora più morbido e leggero (non è pesante intendiamoci), la cerniera è abbastanza robusta, il livello è medio anche se non buono.
Attenzione, non posso non segnalare l'area interna dove poggia il tallone, nella parte posteriore dello stesso tallone, dove l'anfibio si usura troppo precocemente e velocemente (si strappa).

Worn these boots for 6 months now. They get the job done but aren't the best on the market.

Worn for 8-16 hours a day 5days a week for the past 6 months. The condition of the boot is still good on the exterior however the interior has worn out holes. I also experienced extremely bad blisters which eventually turned to rock like skin on the back of my heel and end of my toes, not the most attractive.

Considering the price they arent a bad boot but for only a bit more you could upgrade to a significantly better pair from a different company such as 5.11 and have higher quality and comfort.

All in all don't regret the purchase but won't ever be wearing this brand again now that i have a new pair of boots and have noticed the difference.
