Also, how much is a reasonable price to pay for a pair of Swat's/Magnums/Danner?
(Fox, did you get yours at $75 for a great deal, or is that about the standard price?)

I have original swat 9 inch side zippers... If I was buying again .. I would not bother with the side zippers.. never use them.
They are light weight.. comfortable... and so far problem free... My feet do get tired in them after about 10 hours.. but that is probably more to do with me not being that used to being on my feet all day. I paid I think $120 for them
I would not recommend these boots for field use.. I think that the lightweight materials just won't last outside.
Fof outside .. I'm thinking Danners ( always wanted a pair) but I am not sure I can justify the cost when surplus CF boots can be had for $40 and fresh insoles for an addition $20.
Bass Pro shop is a good source for boots of all types .. they have the full line of Original Swat, and they have a good selection of the Danner line.
Beaver Surplus has a selection of Magnums.. along with the aforementioned Surplus CF boots.
