We at Bates Boots were eager to find active riders to wear our Made in the USA line of Motorycyle Boots. So we created a social media contest and asked participants on Facebook to share photos of themselves and their rides for a chance to win a pair of 2017 Freedom or Bomber Boots. After looking through plenty of entries, we chose Air Force Veteran Daniel McCarthy out of Arizona! Daniel decided on the Freedom Boot and gave us his honest review!

“I spent 24 years in the U.S. Air Force, retiring in 2001. I wore a number of boots and shoes during that time and the Bates models were always the most comfortable!”

“I got my first motorcycle in 1982 and have owned one motorcycle and two different scooters ever since. My current bike is a 2014 Kymco Myroad 700i. It’s my daily driver and I love it!”

“The Bates Freedom boot is a high quality boot and very comfortable. My only design suggestion would be to add a pull up loop on the back of the boot. Other than that, they’re perfect. I’ve worn them for about three weeks now both while riding and as my daily wear to work boot, where I’m on my feet most of the day. I have had a number of positive comments from people I ride with and work with, and everyone seems to really like them. I know I do!”

Thank for you for your honest opinion Daniel! We appreciate your service and are happy to see you’re enjoying your new boots.
