BEST BOOTS!
« on: July 19, 2010, 01:45:49 PM »
I've experienced some bloody awfull boots! I think a shortlist of the BEST boots comes down to the following:
1 - Lowa (combat or mountain)
2 - Altberg
3 - Magnums
4 - Combat Assault Boots
5 - Bates
6 - SWAT
Which would you go for, and why?

Personally it's Lowa for quallity, however, they are very rigid and can, when new cause strains in the shin muscles. Close second comes the Combat assault for the price and good quality construction.

I think it depends what features you look for. Personally I wear boots that have some form of toe cap.

At the moment I'm using a pair of 5.11 (Storm? Shield?) boots. They were expensive and took forever to arrive from the states, but over a year on and they are still going strong. I feel they offer good protection.

I have to endorse 5.11 boots for the current cold weather.

I've spent most of the week pushing cars out of the snow (including Police ones  ::) ) and my boots have been brilliant. Warm, no leaks and good grip. I'm delighted with them.

Personally I wouldn't look any further than Altberg. Bought my first pair when I started as a Special, on recommendation from a regular at my nick. Now a reg myself, just bought a 2nd pair of Altberg's. Would recommend them to anyone.

Have never tried Lowa but have heard good reports and would look at them first if an alternative to my "AB's" was needed.

Peacekeeper P1 is most popular for police officers, although the Warrior Microlite is good if you need to run anywhere.

I used Lowas for years, but my last pair, Seeker GTX, collapsed in a relatively short space of time. Pity, as they had been superb so far.

We thought of stocking the Lowa boots but we have heard a lot of criticism about them lately, they don't seem to be made as well as they used to be.  At the moment Alt-Berg are extremely popular so we will stick just with Alt-Berg at Enforce-logic

I'll be back in the market for a new pair of boots after Christmas. Any recommendations? All I ask is they have a toe cap.

I stumbled on a maker called YDS who make an interesting public order boot, but I've never heard of them. Has anyone used them before?

I like the look of the Blackhawk no-tie lacing system, but I dont think they do it with a toe cap pair of boots.

My current 5.11 boots have been great, but are needing replaced. The 5.11 Shield boots tick all the boxes, so I might jst go for a straight swap. The only downside is the expense, but they have lasted a couple of years in a variety of outdoor conditions.
