still have a pair that was issued to me 6 years ago, but I prefer to wear my Danner Ft.Lewis boots for airsoft.

I'm still wearing garrison boots issued to me 4 years ago :P and there still in fine shape! But no doubt I'm getting some swats for my future career :)

Yeah but my qualms are the sizes. NO ONE HAS SIZE 16!!! Approx. 13 inches long if anyone can find some magnums thatbig I would be very grateful

I currently rotate between my S.W.A.T and Magnums at work. Love them both. Airsoft I will wear them sometimes but they are both steel toe due to work regulations. However, I love my blackhawks. Super comfy, super light, super love!

Cheap so not so bad: Rothco Desert Forced Entry Deployment Boot (79$)

Good Quality & Price: Original Swat 1150 (119$)

Best Quality & Price: Blackhawk! Desert ops (159$)

Ultimate Boot: Lowa Elite Desert (300$)

Well I've used mark IIIs mark IVs for issue stuff. I got a set of oakleys for cheap and they were nice. Comfy got rid of water and dried quickly but they fell apart. Now I have magnums and love them except sandtraps hate to stay tucked in (works fine with socks over the sandtraps).

Are they 8 inch?

I hate Magnum boots, i used them as my issued boots killed my feet, these did nothing for me, my feet used to get soaked in the field, and cold, so i tried to find out a really good pair of boots that i can wear and that helped with a bit of support, i found an instructor who wore the Haix boots, him and the medics swore by them, so i got a pair and WOW man, best boots ive ever worn. weather proof, gortex, my feet stay dry and warm and look good in my uniform.. i wont wear any others.


i've tried every kinda boot thats out there and these are the best yet. lasted me a while now also and not a sign of tear.

A french guy had those on one of my courses. They look nice might get me a pair of those next.


Yes the 8" my ankles never get sore in them. I think its the cut out on the back that does it.

i had crazy shin problems with the magnum boots, no support and not the best for military life, wear fast, tread sucks and wears super fast, no support, bad in wet weather and so on, not good boots i think.. Haix all the way, never had any problems after i got the Haix boots.. 100+

You are in luck, Original S.W.A.T. has expanded their size to to include size 16 !!!!!

yeah there coming out this month...
Classic 9'' Black
Classic 9'' W/Side Zip

...........

just a warning, the zippers break easily, i baught mine last year and have used em maby 30 times and the zipper has ripped off the side, gota buy new boots now, and they wont be magnums.
