Tactical Boots SWAT ORIGINAL

Original S.W.A.T. is a manufacturer of tactical performance footwear designed for the needs of security forces, law enforcement officers and military operators. We offer an extensive range of both ASTM-approved and CSA-approved safety footwear featuring composite safety toecaps, anti-penetration safety plates, and slip- and oil-resistant rubber outsoles. Our waterproof and insulated shoes feature whole bootie construction for the ultimate in wet-weather protection.Safety boots and safety footwear tested to rigorous standards
From the ground up, our tactical boots are engineered for safety. The Chase series of boots feature winter siping, which is a serrated pattern that is micro-cut into the outsole’s traction lugs, providing the best in slip resistance in wet conditions. All our boots are slip-resistant and oil-resistant, tested to and exceeding the ASTM F489-96 standard.

Our main offering of protective footwear features composite toe caps that are certified to the ASTM F2413-11 standard. We choose composite since it is more protective than steel, will not bend or shear the toe as steel has been known to do, and is more comfortable. The comfort is due in part to the fact that composite materials do not transfer the environment’s heat and cold to the foot, as steel does. Our flagship safety and work boots feature electrical hazard protection – tested to the ASTM F2412-11 and ASTM F2413-11 standard for shock resistance.

Side-zip tactical boots
Our Side-Zipper or ‘SZ’ boot designs provide quick off-and-on access for ease of use in a secure way. We only use the industry-leading and globally-trusted YKK® zipper brand. We have designed a custom zipper housing to prevent zipper teeth from misaligning and breaking. This allows for smooth operation and greatly reduces snags and failures. Unlike most tactical boot manufacturers, our side-zip boots have a zipper end-stop to provide long-term durability and reliability.

For greater ease of use around metal detectors and security sensors, we use the latest in durable composite materials for our zippers. Our Chase, Metro, and Safety lines of boots also utilise airport-friendly nylon shanks for lightweight support and fatigue control.
