Bates Lites® High Gloss Padded Collar Chukka

Purchase less one year old.Use in Military Honor Guard Funeral detail appox. 15 times. The soles total came a part.These were BatesLites #00053 I'm very unhappy with these shoe.

I am a customer of this Chukka bates product. The best comfort shoe I ever had worn and after wearing this product I have not used other shoe product . This Chukka bates has given me recognition at my work place and from various people when they comment like Nice shoes ? I get thrilled hearing the comment . The only comment about this product is like it "BREAKS DOWN SOON " & THE TOP AND THE BOTTOM HEEL PART GOES THINNER QUICK . So ? I recommend to improve this CHUKKA HIGH GLOSS PADDED COLLAR product BY THE FOLLOWINGS;- 1 If Possible to lable on top and bottom of this shoes to stick a thin steel horse shoe metal so that it does not get thin. 2. To maintain the shoe something hard wooden or any material to keep inside the shoes to main its shape after wearing so that it can last for a longer period . 3. Also send an instruction handout so as how to maintain the shoe. My saying is like I personally cannot afford to buy this shoes every year since due to its high cost and break down within a short period .Now for a person like me I am addicted by this shoe and cannot at all wear other shoes besides this shoes. I just love this shoes and has made me feel proud when people say "NICE SHOES " ? and comment WHEN I GO TO PLACES ALL AROUNDTHE WORLD and at my work place . I request the product warranty team to review my Bates Chukka shoes which broke down even not in a year which I bought in 2014 but kept as a reserve when I had other Chukka shoes and started wearing only about a year from 2015 and started getting crack .I humbly request the product team if it can be replaced please ? Thank you BATES ....You are awesome . I cannot wear other shoes besides you..... Have been buying more than 4 pairs of men CHUKKA HIGH GLOSS from online bates .com and also doing the marketing of this shoes to all my relatives all around the world . I will be looking forward to get the replacement of my CHUKKA shoes since this shoe did not last for a longer period less than a year and started breaking down . Thank You Bates once again.

Best shoes I've worn for this job. Last approx. one year for daily road patrol duties. Scuffs are a concern as they happen periodically and are not removable. I use a windex damp paper towel to keep them clean daily. Rain doesnt get through to soak your feet either. I like the support around the ankle vs. a low cut shoe.
