Italian boot maker Crispi is very popular with European LE. Their SWAT PRO GTX caught my eye as a possible solution for those looking for a GSG-9 replacement.
The full grain leather construction is paired with a Gore-Tex liner. Additionally, there is a hard ankle protective insert. Finally, the outsole is oil resistant, non-slip.

Those aren’t the GSG9s we grew up with. The new ones suck.
For years I hunted for a set of desert tan colored GSG9s.
the Crispi swat has been around for over 10 year (at least). i bought a pair for service use in 2009
They’re a nice boot. Not well known in the US.
If these are a good comparison to those original model GSG9s, I’m sold!
I had a pair of GSG9s back in the early 2000s. Those things were awesome, till they literally fell apart.
They lasted probably 10 years of moderate use. The mid-sole started to dry rot, so I guess I got about as much from them as I could ever expect.
Regarding the Adidas GSG 9 boots on the Adidas official website, even if they are different from the former model why exactly you don’t like it ? Thank you.
Fit, function and aesthetic. There is nothing I like about them.
