We’re giving a set of our Lion Janesville racing gear at Worlds. All you have to do to be eligible to win is visit our Firefighter Combat Challenge page on Lion Connects and fill out the form. If you’ve already filled it out, you’re already eligible.
We’ve asked firefighters to put our new structural firefighting boots to the test while on duty and provide us with honest feedback on how the boots feel and how they are performing in the line of duty.
“Right out of the box, I put them on and fell in love,” said Lt. Michael Swiman of the Wake Forest Fire Department in North Carolina. “I felt like they were made for me.”
A key feature for Lt. Swiman is the Lock-Fit Ankle Support System™ that is unique to Lion Technical Footwear.
“I like the ankle support in the Lion boots the best,” Swiman said. “I shattered my ankle about 12 years ago, and that extra support makes a big difference.”
Working comfort is also a critical factor for another tester, Vinnie Catennaci of the Wyocena Bureau of Fire in Wisconsin.
“These are awesome boots,” said Catennaci. “I have a pair of the Commander zip/lace boots. They are very comfortable and offer great support.”
We’re also looking for some firefighters to try out products from our line of Lion StationWear. Want to be considered? Fill out the Try it Out form, and you may be reading about yourself here soon.

Lion Technical Footwear - Comfort that won't quit.
We’ve talked about the benefits of leather vs. rubber firefighting boots in this previous Lion Connects post. Now, we’re ready to tell you why our brand new line of structural firefighting boots, Lion Technical Footwear, is going to provide you with the most durable, safe and comfortable set of boots you can wear, run after run.
We’ll be officially launching Lion Technical Footwear at this year’s FDIC in Indianapolis April 22-25. And we really want you to come try them on. Here are 10 reasons why you should come by Booth 1612 and try on a pair of our brand new firefighting boots.
1. All Lion Technical Footwear is union-made in North America of top-quality materials and workmanship.
2. The patented Lock-Fit Ankle Support System will hold your foot and ankle in place like no other boot can, reducing the risk of slips, trips and falls (a leading cause of fireground injuries) while drastically improving comfort.
3. Leather boots are lighter weight, more comfortable, and better fitting than rubber boots.
