I have tried many brands of duty boots and have a few that I like more than others however I am always looking for something better. I really have had bad luck with the Hi-Tec brand as they seem to not hold up well. I have tried the Rocky line and really do like this one however availability is scarce in my area. I have most recently tried the Bates Enforcer series and find this to be an incredible performer toughwise however comfort is not all it could be.
Anyway I have just found a new boot made by Converse and have read good reviews towards this new boot. It is said it fits like a good running shoe yet is styled as a tactical boot with side zippers. The cost is good and they have plenty in my area. I was wondering if any LEO/Military could give me any first hand experience with this boot or any others you may recommend ?
I prefer the taller boot with side zippers and my dept. rules state that I have to have black boots on duty. If anyone could give me a few on-line dealers who also have good reputations I may consider an on-line purchase yet I do prefer to try a pair on first so this would be a last resort. Also it seems that on-line pricing runs about 30 to 40 dollars more than a local purchase on all the brands I have seen. This new Converse boot goes about 59 dollars here at a local dealer and on line cost was 90 dollars plus shipping.
I looked however did not see any dealers in our forum who offered much in the way of Police Duty footwear. It would be cool if I could get some boots and a few lights from the same place...hehe always thinking like a flashaholic.
