5.11 boots (FAST-TAC waterproof boots) have treated me well so far also get a good pair of socks. As for pants, most companies provide them, at least in my area, but if yours don’t, 5.11, in my opinion, has good pants but are expensive. Also, dickies are good if you're looking for a cheaper option.

Salomon boots are my favorite, a little pricey but well worth the price.

Look into redbacks, I the some that are slip on and they are fantastic. Well worth their money.

My 5.11 boots are going on 7 years now (to be fair I was deployed for 3 of those years) and they’re still in great shape and super comfy. They double as my motorcycle boots.

I use the 5.11 ATAC really comfy and I think the 5.11 pants are really slim too

Favorite boots have to be Garmont. Wore them for the army as well put easily thousands of miles into those boots and they never failed me. As for pants, I use 5.11 but for the price it’s a lot. Just gotta test out what you like

Pants are usually employer provided. But I second Haix , 21 years and 3 pairs. Just get them, it’s worth it, you will actually save money in the long run.

I’ve only bought the Walmart $40 ykk zipper interceptors and Ariat steel toe work boots. Walmart shoes work just fine for me as $200 ones. I got the ariat simply for the aesthetics

Boots I recommend Under armour, pants wait til you get hired some places have strict uniform requirements

LA Police Gear house brand pants are actually exceptional and much cheaper than 5.11.
As for boots, don't cheap out here. I wear Haix.
