Duty Footwear

[S Messina]

Just wondering what other people are wearing on duty.

I currently wear Response Gear boots from Big 5 Sporting Goods. They are fairly comfortable and I get them for about $20 on sale. I wear them out in about 6 months.

Rockports for me. Great for lots of walking.

i've got some 5.11 side zipper leather/nylon duty boots. With a insole insert they work just fine.

9" Magnum side zips

[OccamsRazor]

5.11 ATAC 8" sidezips...They work well with gel insoles and a boot dryer to dry them overnight.

Bates Side Zip Tac Boots... Very comfortable, very sturdy.
Water Proof, slip resist... etc etc

i'm glad to hear sidezips are so popular. I feel much less lazy now.

[Mall Director]

In the military its very popular.. Everybody has the lazy issue, so dont feel bad!

[ACP01]

Hey tie them once then pretty much forget about them plus it is a h3ll of a lot faster!

I have had the same pair of Rocky AlphaForce 8" ZipperBoots for over a year now, and I must say they have held up extremely well. The only thing I replaced was the insoles, and that was when I first bought them. When it comes to footwear, the proper insoles can make almost any boot/shoe comfortable.

Same here, bought four pair in the last three years, six miles a shift plus double shifts twice a week wears them out

I always buy the same brand and size, feet hurting at work is worse than anything I can think of.

I have been using Converse 8" tactical side zip duty boot. A little warm but otherwise an excellent boot.

Magnum Viper II (air cushion soles) side zipper & feather lite. Best boot I've ever worn, great for long patrol shifts!

Mix of Magnum leather/nylon elite 900s during the day and 5.11 atac leather/nylon side zips for alarm call outs. have to say the 900s are better but cant be bothered fighting with laces at 3am
