Original Swat at the Atlantic City Police and Security Expo

We will once again be attending the Atlantic City Police and Security Expo for Original Swat Footwear.  We have been very happy to attend this shows because as a vendor, it’s a great way to learn about the product and understand what people are looking for.   When we first started carrying the Original Swat footwear, it wasn’t because we knew they were the best it was because we need to carry a footwear line to diversify our product line and the first thing that jumped out at us is the boots were not all that expensive.  From a dealer standpoint we didn’t want to start off with footwear that cost us $250 a boot that sold for $300 and then find out nobody wanted it.

Well, we made a great decision and we have had very few complaints for the footwear and out of the hundreds we sold only 3 have come back with issues.  We did notice that Original Swat Boots gave us a broad selection of footwear that covered everything from the new Athletic Chase Low footwear and the Classic 9″ boots that can be had in a lace up or the 1152 side zip boots.  There are composite toe and composite shank boots and there is no need for steel toe anymore.  The Waterproof tactical boots have been a big win for our customers that work in the EMS.

Getting the most for your money

We’ve been selling the Original Swat footwear for almost 2yrs now and we have a good track  record on the product  line.  Nobody has  a perfect product line, but we have a very good customer satisfaction rate with this line of boots.   The best thing about selling the Original Swat footwear is that our customers are guaranteed to get at least a year out of their footwear for their money.   We have guys stopping in every day that ask us about various product lines and many times they never heard of Original Swat footwear.  The first thing we show people is how light the boots are, they look solid but are very light weight.

In the last month we’ve had 3 customers show up at our door driving Harley Davidson that found out about Original Swat footwear company from  some of their biker friends and it was all about comfort. We are a stocking dealer and have lots of Original Swat boots for sale at our retail location here in Pennsylvania and online.   Check out the new product line the Chase Series footwear for a better Athletic footwear.   Some of the new boots are actually replacements for the previous line namely the 1230 footwear.  We have a few of the SEK900G and SEK9000 boots left on clearance.

Original Swat boots on sale at Rogue Elite

We have been very happy with our sales with Original Swat footwear.   They have a very diverse spectrum of tactical and casual footwear that have far  more traction than regular sneakers.  There is very little reason to still be wearing steel toe boots when the composite toe boots from Original Swat will get the job done and allow you to walk in and out of security zones without having to take your boots off.   Original Swat boots are the best boot for the buck and their 1yr warranty on product defects guarantee you’ll get your money.
There is now a new line of footwear coming from Original Swat called the Chase Series.  This line of athletic footwear seems to improve upon previously discontinued tactical boots and tactical footwear.   The 1230 boots from Original swat was a good idea but the sole of the shoe was a little stiff and heavy.   We’re hoping to test out some of the Chase low shoes and see how they compare.   Original swat boots are on sale with free shipping for January and a free one time exchange if you have sizing issues.

Boot specials for November

This month we are going to be running another large Original Swat tactical footwear promotion because we just love doing them.   With this economy, people are scrounging the clearance sections of some of the large product distributors and there are some pretty good deals out there.   With the implosion of a few businesses this year, there is yet another big flood of good quality clothing for discount prices.   One thing we really like around here at Rogue Elite is a company that backs it’s products.  With tactical clothing an apparel, we get people that tear things or have them fall apart in a short time period and most of the time they come back to us and not to the manufacturer.

Original Swat Footwear has over 10yrs experience in the tactical footwear community and that’s not a new business.   There tactical boots are hands down the best deal for the money because the company backs their products for 1yr.   We have guys walk in here all the time and tell us that they spent $150+ for boots that only held up a year and now they get their money’s worth with the Style 1152 Original Swat boots.   The 1150 and 1152 boots are probable the most popular sellers for military persons.    The traction of the footwear is different depending on the type of boot, but some of them work very well for low key low profile use.

Sale on Original Swat tactical boots

For the rest of the Month of October we are running a Promotion on Original Swat footwear.   These tactical boots are the best bang for the buck.   Last week we had a few customers walk in and ask us how much the boots were and they were shocked to find out that they were all less than $90.   With Original Swats 1yr warranty on all of the footwear, you really can take a step into them for a few months and if they do have issues, you can replace them.   We’ve sold hundreds of pairs of boots this year and have less than 1% return rate on them.   There is a very good selection of tactical boots and footwear from the ever growing company.

The Most popular boots that we sell are probable the lightest weight boots out there.   The Style 1232 air 9 inch side zip tactical boots have outstanding foot support.   For the month of October we have a $15 discount code : swat15off and that can be used on any Original Swat tactical boots or shoes.   Don’t forget the tactical boots for women also.   Water proof tactical boots for Swat teams, EMS and paramedics for less than $100.   You might even pick out something and use the discount code and get a great deal on tactical footwear.

The best boot for the buck and the lightest

The Original Swat footwear company has been gaining lots of ground over recent years and there 10+ year in the tactical boot world is an accomplishment.  Many tactical clothing companies have come and gone in that time period and it is a testament to the companies viability.   We are expecting several new products in 2012 and some of them are already available even though they are not listed on the Original Swat boot website.

Some tactical boots cost an arm and a leg and although they are durable they are more than what you need or want to wear on  your feet.  Our number on tactical boots are the Original Swat 1232 Air 9 inch.  These boots are the lightest tactical boots and give you outstanding support.   We know that are many in the Law Enforcement community that develop foot problems over the years and we have gotten so much feedback about the support that these boots have that we just have to pass that info off to our customers.

Price points and warranties on Original Swat Footwear

There are huge differences in the types of footwear that you can wear while working in the Law Enforcement Community and the wrong footwear means discomfort and unwanted stress.  Foot support is something you won’t get  out of sneakers even though most people are probable more comfortable wearing sneakers all day than boots or dress shoes.   There are always periods of break in and sometimes your foot might get a little sore when you first wear them.   The Original Swat 1232 air have a great reputation for support and comfort and is by far our lightest tactical boot.

The Original swat footwear company has a 1yr warranty on all of their boots and in over a year of selling the product we have had less than 3 returns on the product line.   With a warranty like that it’s less stress on a dealer on selling a product and much easy to support a product line.  There is so much competition in the tactical boots market that price points and warranties is a great combination.    The Original Swat 1150 are the Classic 9 inch boots and the 1152 is the side zip version.   If you want full ankle support and all leather size zip combo, try the Original Swat SEK9000.

Serious footwear for the job

When you realize that retiring your sneakers after running around on a firing range is a good idea, there are other things to consider depending on how serious you are about footwear and protecting  your feet.   Many of us have had those blue collar jobs where steel toe boots were mandatory, but technology is slowly replacing steel toe boots and more and more people are wearing composite toe footwear.   Many of our customers are walking in and out of prisons and not having to take your boots off and on is one less hassle.

The next we want to start seeing is the replacement of steel shanks for composite shanks and for anyone that has to break down doors, not having to worry about a nail going through your foot is good comfort.   There are many Original Swat boots to choose from, but do your research on all of the features that the Original Swat footwear company has to offer.   We’ve  been carrying their tactical boots for barely a year now, but customer response and the innovation of certain styles is impressive.

Do zippers fail?

There was a  lot of discussion in the past about how to secure accessories ect. in shirts and pants and some people really wanted zippers on their tactical shirts.   Most of the 5.11 tactical shirts that we have used in the past were velcro, but velcro is loud and if you are in a situation where you have to be covert, velcro is really loud.   The first version of the Woolrich Elite tactical shirts we saw which were basically an improvement over much of 5.11 tacticals tactical clothing was, was received very well.   There were some pocket variations that people didn’t like that 5.11 still had a edge over, but zippers on shirts was better received.

The Woolrich Elite 4910 was the discreet carry pant and there were suppose to be hidden zippers on the side, but they were not hidden very well and I honestly would not recommend stowing a firearm in a pocket that is zippered shut.   I have yet to have a zipper fail, but some people that have used boots did not like zippers.  The Original Swat boots have tactical boots that can be zip up or lace up.   I think the majority of our customer base prefer zip up and only one person that I have met really complained about boot zippers failing on them.  It kind of reminds me of all of the people that I knew that had card doors that were bent because they always slammed them shut on an angle.  I think those are the ones with zipper issues.

Classic 9″ Tan Side Zip 1152TAN

Original Swat boots have been in our warehouse for over a year now and from a dealer standpoint, we are very happy working for them.   We worked the booth at the NYTOA in 2011 and the Atlantic City Police and Security Expo in New Jersey.   Many of the boots looked the same to us but as we got customer feedback and we learned the product line, nothing could be further from the truth.  Recently we had a few guys from in Biker glubs show up at our store because Original Swat has been sponsoring some of their events.  One thing every really likes about them from Law Enforcement to Military and even guys riding motorcycles, is that they are light.

The Classic 9″ side zip looks a lot like a regular boot, but it has a steel shank and sized zip for easy on and off as well as shank protection.   Some of the new colors that have come out are very eye catching and it’s fun to see people’s reaction when they walk past the booth displays and notice them.   Seeing images on the internet on your monitor may not jump out at you, but the Sage, Burgandy and Tan Original Swat boots look very nice and don’t look all Police or Swat looking.   The Sage 1150 boots are very popular with the guys being deployed to Afghanistan.
