Bates Blowout!

Oct 01, 2018
A week ago Sunday, I had the privilege of commissioning a young man in the Navy. As a Retired Rear Admiral, I do this from time-to-time, and I wear my uniform per the season. This time, I wore my Service Dress Whites along with my Bates white shoes. I have owned this particular pair of white shoes for about 10 years and have worn them perhaps four times per year without a problem. At this particular ceremony, the heels and the soles of my shoes completely disintegrated towards the end of the ceremony. I take pride in my uniform and my shoes. I keep my shoes clean and polished; I store my shoes in a dry cool area with shoe trees and shoe socks. My civilian shoes last much longer than your shoes. It was an embarrassing moment. I called your customer representative who told me that your product goes through a process of degradation which you consider "normal". After reading the other reviews, I wonder why you have not switched to a leather sole and hard rubber heel for your shoes. This is especially appropriate when wearing your product aboard ship standing on the non-skid decking where the wear and tear is much worse. Please consider improving your product. I will be writing the Navy Uniform Board with my concerns about your product as well.

Only purchased because required

Not comfortable. Shoes fail spectacularly, and no it's not the "this might happen to shoes not used regularly". Glue on sole falls apart. Not reliable. Last like all Bates is made for one foot shape; mine is different, so it's uncomfortable. This shoe has caused professional embarrassment when the shoe blows out at random.
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 the soles from breaking down. Your footwear may fall under our warranty. Please give us a call at 866.699.7374.

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.

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!!!
