A product endorsement from Rogue Elite

We rarely go out of our way and tell people “this is the product you want” when it comes to optics, eyewear or gun accessories.  There are so many variables with preferences, and different situations people can be in that they might want to try different things and different times.   Some tactical pants may work for you in one situation but not in another.   It can also depend on price and durability but from our experience most of the products that we sell are of good value otherwise we would have removed them from our product line and stopped selling them.   We have a 3yr track record of selling the Original Swat footwear and all of our employees love them.

There have been some big changes to the  product line and we’ve seen the steel shank tactical boots disappear and a new modernized tactical boot with a nylon shank appear.   All of the tactical footwear we sell from Original Swat boots are for office, street work or military service.   We are now outfitting many of our local SWAT departments with the 1070 tactical waterproof boots because they need the composite toe, nylon shank, and the protection against blood born pathogens.   The new Chase Low boots are an easy sell to all those in the military serving over seas.

What’s the difference between Original Swat boots and other waterproof footwear

We’re clearing out some of the older discontinued Original Swat footwear and some really good prices but some of the boots are very hard to tell apart at first glance.  We got some customers calling to ask about the 1060 boots and we informed them that the 1070 is the new version of that boot and is also a waterproof boot.   Waterproof boots are very popular for paramedics and EMS because of the threats of blood born pathogens.   It’s kind of an inside joke that these are meant to protect against water when its more like all the other yucky stuff.

The Original Swat 1070 tactical waterproof boot has a composite toe and a nylon shank.  These Original Swat waterproof boots have protection all around and if you have not tried these out yet, there is a 1 year factory warranty against defects for these boots and we’ve gotten good enough responses that we’re actually clearing out some of the other brands of tactical footwear.   If you don’t want waterproof boots the new Chase Series gives you a more athletic footwear.  There are claims that the Chase low boots are the lightest weight tactical boots on the market.

The Atlantic City Police and Security Expo

We will be attending the Atlantic City Police and Security Expo for Original Swat footwear and this will be our 2nd time attending the event.  It’s always nice to work at these conventions because we get to meet our customer base and learn about new products.   There are always new products coming out and slight production changes.   Nobody designs the perfect product in a Laboratory, the perfect product usually comes after it is fielded and then customer feedback and design improvements take place.   Just look at the number of F15 fighter planes we have and also the changes that have taken place.  You can make a nice design, but there can always be application differences that can broaden your product line.

Nobody in the Security field wants to wear steel toe boots, considering how so many locations will have metal detectors you can’t be setting off all of the beeps every time you take a BG through.   The Classic 9″ safety toe from Original Swat boots has a composite toe that gives you the same protection.  Other options are the Air 5″ and the Classic 9″ light safety toe.   It’s not common to have boots that are lighter than the old steel toe boots but still give you protection like the Air 5″ boots give you.   There are many more products that we will be having on display at the Police and Security Expo.

Atlantic City Police and Security Expo

Join us next month as we will be representing the Original Swat footwear company and the Atlantic City Police and Security Expo.    We had a very successful event at the New York Tactical Operations convention last month and we moved a lot of inventory.   It’s always good to work events like this to get product feedback and to see what customers are asking for.   There are always slight modifications a manufacturer can do after a product has been fielded for awhile and there have been some minor changes in the time period we have been dealers for the Original Swat boots.   One of the nice things about carrying this line of footwear is that it is not all tactical looking.  The SEK900sz and is considered to be the cadillac of the line.   The all leather boots are very supportive of the ankle and great for kicking in doors.

The less tactical looking Metro traction boots feel  more like sneakers and less like boots but have a very street friendly sole.   It’s important to know that your footwear can handle certain surfaces.   The Dress Oxford boots go great with a uniform and even for those in the CCW world, it’s good to know that you can still move quickly without slide across surfaces.   You can not run well at all with dress shoes and anyone that has taken a defensive training course knows that movement is extremely important.  Original Swat boots will be sold at the Atlantic City show at extreme discounts to Law Enforcement so stop by if you get the chance and say hello.
