I've been buying Bates Boots for 5 years. They are, hands down, the best boot I've found. They are comfortable for all day wear, my feet don't sweat, and they are super durable. The price is right for such comfort and quality. Please don't stop making them!

Nice boots, but coming apart

May 29, 2018

Really happy with these boots initially. Great fit and comfortable, which is hard to find as I'm a woman with smaller feet. I've had these boots for the duration of paramedic school (9 months of both classroom and clinical use) and the toe started separating from the rest of the boot after about 6 months. Not particularly heavy duty usage or anything, so I'm not thrilled with the quality.

The only boots this female wears at work

I have been wearing these boots for 11 years because they are lightweight and breathable for the Florida heat. I do wish the laces were longer but they are easily shined and look great. I highly recommend these boots because they are comfortable and nothing is more important.

Only issue I had was one boot was creased really bad like someone had worn it cause the leather was already wrinkled.

Dissappointed

Nov 30, 2017

I was pretty impressed when I got the boot. It seemed to be well made and super comfortable. However I am pretty disappointed that after a week the soles are starting to separate some where they meet with the leather.
