Putting them on or taking them off is just so much better.
The zipper is a game-changer when you're tired in the morning or your feet are swollen at day's end.
About to buy my 4th pair.
They wear as well as any other boot.
I find them comfortable as the sole isn't too hard.

I’ve worn SWATs for years. They are comfortable, easy to break in, light weight. Only draw backs the leather on the toes looses it’s due colour quickly and the way the sole folds up over the toes tends to peel off easily like a pair of old running shoes. Should be stitched on not glued. Prices need to be lowered.
Other than that great boots.

Great service by a helpful lady in Downtown Toronto store. Shoes fit perfect. Very breathable, flexible but strong boot. I walk alot of stairs and no blisters with this boot.
