Several models of a new line of tactical boots from Reebok were put through their paces at the recent SWAT Round-Up International held in Orlando, Fla. Warson Brands, official licensee of Reebok tactical footwear, sponsored three teams competing in the event.
In its 32nd year, the SWAT Round-Up International attracted over 50 eight-man SWAT teams from around the world to compete in five events: Hostage Rescue, Pricher Scramble, Officer Rescue, Tower Scramble, and the Obstacle Course. These events are geared for simulation of real life scenarios and are intended to challenge the team as a unit in both weapons expertise and physical fitness.
Event teams chose the Dauntless and Dauntless Ultra-Light all-terrain boots, and the Hyper Velocity super-lightweight performance footwear for use in this year’s event. Three competing teams were wearing Reebok tactical boots throughout the competition, including the first, third and fourth-place winners in the Best Overall award.
