| Fit Tips For a person with narrow feet, please try a half-size smaller. Original S.W.A.T.® Innersoles Inner soles are multi-functional. Extra cushion and or support Most boot's innersoles can be taken out and replaced with an after market innersole from any number of innersole companies. After market innersoles have several different categories: More or less arch support. Styles are made specifically for the different activities wearers may find themselves in. After market innersoles have more bells and whistles than the innersoles that are provided with a new pair of boots. Altering size of a boot. Adding an additional innersole will shrink the volume of a boot and make it fit nearly a half size smaller or can be used to make a regular width boot feel narrower Keeping a boot fresh. Most odors in footwear can be attributed to the innersole. A person's foot perspires directly into the innersole. With daily use and unchanged, boots/shoes will begin to smell. If a person changes the innersoles in their boots/shoes on a daily or weekly basis, most of the odor associated with any footwear will be eliminated. Additionally, a refreshed innersole will help the boot feel more comfortable. Original S.W.A.T.® Zippers and Installation Straps The idea of lacing a zipper into the tongue portion of a boot is outdated. We recommend you use our Installation Straps to install the Original S.W.A.T.® 8-Eyelet Zipper. The Installation Straps, unlike using a bootlace, keeps the zipper more rigid and secure. This allows the zipper to be more efficient when being used because the "lace play" that is associated with a laced in zipper is eliminated. Our 8-Eyelet Zipper is used traditionally in an 8-Eyelet Boot. However, it can be used with any of our 9-Eyelet Boots. Original S.W.A.T.® Zipper Care The zippers in our boots need to be operated with care to ensure a trouble free life. The zipper has a 103 lb. breaking strain which is achieved by having a higher number of teeth per inch. This also provides the necessary flexibility in a zip of this length. However, care must be taken when operating the zippers to: Not get the gusset caught in the zipper; Should the gusset get caught, you must reverse the zipper direction to release the gusset – under NO circumstances try to force the zipper. Forcing the zipper could result in breaking the zip-pull tab or the zipper itself. This will not occur under normal operation and will therefore be considered “abuse” and negate any guarantee. |
