Blow out!

Jul 29, 2018
Probably one of the most uncomfortable shoes I've worn. Unfortunately there's really no military shoe alternative. Get prepared for the blowout - I've had them in white, brown, and black over the past 19 years.

Terribly overpriced product

Jul 17, 2018
I had to buy a new pair after wearing the previous pair 5 times, less than 10 hours of wear. Disgusting way to treat military members since these are required uniform item.
Bates Footwear's reply

Since the dress styles are often stored for years between ceremonies, the uppers may age well but the rubber soles can dry out and become brittle. You can actually prevent this or extend the life of the shoes by rotating them in the wearing process. Even wearing them around the house on occasion will help keep them from breaking down. Regardless we stand by our footwear and have reached out to you through email to get your information. You can also call the team for help at 866.699.7374.

Overpriced garbage

May 09, 2018
These are the worst shoes ever designed, and I think it is criminal that the Navy requires us to buy them and there are truly no other brands to compete with. Everyone I know has had the soles fall apart, always at the worst possible time. I generally choose to wear my pumps for a variety of reasons (they look better and last longer); but on occasion I am required to wear these "clown shoes": A graduation in 2004; a "manning the rails" in 2011; and today a summer whites inspection, which within 2 minutes of putting the shoes on they started to disintegrate leaving a trail of white shoe sole crumbs from my workspace to the atrium for the inspection. Another instance of required personal expense with absolutely no benefit to mission readiness!!! CHANGE YOUR PRODUCT, or come up with a non-polyurethane sole!!!

This will happen to older footwear that doesn't get much usage. Please give us a call at 866.699.7374 as your footwear may fall under our warranty. We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you.

Another disappointed customer

May 08, 2018
Another confirmed case of Bates Blowout. I knew this was an occupational hazard, having seen several shipmates endure their shoes fall apart halfway through a day. Today it was my turn. I was halfway up Captiol Hill to give a brief when I felt the heel give out. Thank goodness a Marine Sargent in the Office of Legislative Affairs had some clear packing tape- held the pieces of my disintegrating shoe together just long enough to limp into and out of the brief without leaving a trail of white plastic crumbs behind. And the sad part is, "Bates Lites" are less comfortable than my other genuine leather soled business shoes. BATES, please listen: "Cooler and Lighter" is the wrong goal. Durability and reliability are the critical, non-negotiable threshold requirements for any shoe.

The heels fall apart!

Feb 24, 2018
My white dress shoes fell apart after about 2 years, only worn 6 times for 2 Inspections and 4 ceremonies ... total time worn maybe 7 hours. Not the quality I would expect from Bates after wearing Batesshoes for over 30 years.

Bates Footwear's reply

We understand your frustration, however, the footwear is made to be worn and when rubber, and polyurethane, is stored for a lengthy period of time, it will break down. It is a natural process called hydrolysis and something that the industry is working to address. Your footwear may fall under our warranty. Please give us a call at 866.699.7374. We do sincerely apologize for any inconveniences you may have suffered.
