With all the police boots that are available to police officers, it can be hard finding out which ones are actually the best police boots. In this review, I'm going to discuss three boots that I feel are the best police boots; Bates, Danner, and 5.11 Tactical boots.

Bates has been making police boots for quite some time. They sell on average about 1.5 million pairs of boots each year. With that high of a number, I must not be the only who thinks these are some of the best police boots. Specifically within the Bates footwear family, I love the Bates Enforcer police boots. The Enforcer series features waterproof leather, full cushioned footbed with shock absorbing pads, increased flexibility technology, and durable outsole. These police boots are extremely comfortable and reasonably priced. For this police equipment review I will only hit on a few of the highlights of each of these boots but you can read our full Bates Enforcer review to get a full review of this particular police boot.

One of the things about the Bates police boots is that they have so many options and variety to be able to meet the needs of police officer in a very large variety of settings and work environments. You will also find that they offer a very large variety of sizes and widths to be able to accommodate the most people as possible. Bates understands how important it is to have a police boot that fits, looks good, and is durable. Take the time to read out other police equipment reviews that cover other Bates products. As always you can visit the Bates website for full details about each of the products they carry and find full features lists for each of the Bates police boots.

Our second choice when looking at the best police boots is the Danner boots. Danner makes a wide variety of boots including some truly great police boots. The most popular Danner police boot is the Acadia series. The Acadia series features water resistant leather, 1000 denier cordura nylon, and are relatively lightweight. While I haven't owned a pair of Danner boots, I have spoken to several police officers that swear by Danner and think they are the best police boot made. Don't be surprised when you go to buy a pair of Danner police boots, the price is high.

A couple of things that we feel may make the Danner police boots worth the higher price include the very high quality, the fact that these boots can be recrafted, making their useful life much higher than most police boots, and the fact that these boots are made right here in the United States of America. Many other companies that sell police boots are not made in the USA. Read our full Danner Acadia police boot review to learn about one of the best police boots made by Danner and then visit their website for full details on all of the other police boots and police equipment Danner has to offer.

Our third choice for the best police boots comes from the 5.11 Tactical company. You will find several police equipment reviews on our site about numerous products made by 5.11 because we are very impressed with the overall quality this company provides. 5.11 Tactical gear manufactures a wide variety of police gear, but they make one of the best police boots around. The most popular style manufactured by 5.11 Tactical is the ATAC series. The ATAC series is an all waterproof boot with a safety toe feature for rugged duty wear. These boots are extremely comfortable and are manufactured with the same high quality standards of all the other 5.11 Tactical gear products.

Some unique features that we have found in the 5.11 Tactical police boots include a hidden pocket that can be used for extra protection; store a small knife, cuff key, or some other small police equipment item that may come in handy if you are every in the situation where you need something extra that no one knows about. 5.11 Tactical police boots are known for their high quality, durability, unique features and multitude of options. Check out some of our other 5.11 Tactical reviews to learn more about the other products they have to offer and more about the company and where the 5.11 name comes from. We are sure you will not be disappointed in any of the 5.11 products.

Finding the best police boots for your needs will be an individual decision. The boots that fit one officer and his or her situation perfectly are not going to fit a different officer in a different job, climate, or location the same way. Do your due diligence; try on several different types and brand of police boots to find the best police boots for your needs. Check out some other police equipment reviews and then make your decision about which boots are the best police boots for you. There may be a lot of choices when it comes to police boots, but in my opinion, Bates, Danner, and 5.11 Tactical make some of the best police boots, so be sure to check them out during your search!
