    • Good value

Great fit & quality, very happy with my purchase, my 3rd pair, 2nd in tan

    • 5 years still in use !
Size: 10 Color: Desert
The boots look a little different I think they improved them a little the back foam was coming off just the outside skin. So now it’s super strong material on outside with the same comfort. I bought another pair so I have it if they are not available because of upcoming events. These boots are unbelievable comfortable and I have been wearing them in 100 degree Texas heat all day doing landscaping and construction for a living they feel like slippers. I change the soles right away to Dr scholls gel wow! What a combo the original soles are too thin. My boots are still good but I like them so much I bought another pair for the future. No way would I use another type of boot. The nylon form fits your foot and is extremely strong the toe is not going to be feeling like it’s a composite it provides complete protection without knowing it’s there like you have running shoes on super light and maneuverable. Best boot ever. I do miss the gray color though I wanted that color because it hides dirt and is darker in color ... show more

    • Not water resistant at all!
Size: 14 X-Wide Color: Desert
I would really like to give these 5 stars but the smallest amount of water goes right through them and soaks your feet, other than that, I really love these boots, very light weight (especially for steel toe) comfortable and great build quality.

    • Perfect boots
Size: 11 Color: Desert
I went on the hunt for the perfect work boot. I'm on my feet 12 hour a day. I was looking for a lightweight, comfortable boot that was supportive. I found the Try Before You Buy on Amazon and went through a lot of boots without any success. Everything was too heavy, too loose, too tight, or made my feet hurt even if they felt good initially. I thought to myself, I wanted a pair of boots that performed like my combat boots. Something touch enough to go through anything but agile enough to run in and comfortable enough to wear all day. Then I remembered from my Army days the mechanics had to wear steel toe boots. I search for Bates steel toe knowing Bates were some of the best combat boots you could get. I'm so glad I did. These are even better than I remember. The side zipper is new to me and was skeptical of it at first but turn out to be a real added benefit and a time saver. I'll never wear conventional work boots again. I love these boots. ... show more

    • Perfect in Every Way
Size: 10.5 Color: Desert
I sized my foot to this brand before I ordered. The boots fit like a glove. My foot felt like it was being absorbed and then hugged as if enveloped in warm foam. There are no pressure points, they are light, and comfortably snug. I always add inserts and then heel pieces to prevent planter fasciitis, which made the fit all the better; they might not need them but I want this kind of a feel when I walk because I am on them 8-10 hours on many a Saturday around the property. My Air Force boots finally wore out after 14 years of constant use, and these are way lighter and more comfortable than my Air Force boots. Even though I like to wear the boots snug they are easy to remove by just grabbing the top of the boot at the back and just pushing them down over the back of the heel. The tread also seems to offer a good grip. I will definitely consider this brand, again. ... show more

    • Great boot yet uncomfortable for me.
Size: 10.5 Color: Desert
I gave them a 1 star because I can not wear them. I can not wear them because they really hurt my toes. I gave them a chance for the break in period. I give them 5 stars on what appears to be a good build quality. They seem to be a quality boot and I think they look great. I have worn many different safety shoes. Like composite, alloy and steel toe. These may be great for you. I had to pony up and buy a different brand. I'll donate these. They may be fine for someone else. My recommendation is if you get them, really check the fit and focus on how your toes feel. ... show more

    • Good boot, and comfortable.
Size: 12 X-Wide Color: Desert
I use these particular boots for riding motorcycles, due to the protection they afford in the toe, and ease of getting them on and off. I’ve used Bates boots for close to 40 years now, between when I was on active duty, and now motorcycling, and daily wear. Some days I wear them from 6 to 6. They’re comfortable when they break in (a couple days) and I usually get 2-3 years of use out of them. The weak point on these are the zipper, which is usually the reason for a new pair, but as long as you don’t abuse them, you’ll get your moneys worth out of them. I’ve trusted Bates for a long time, and haven’t found anything that works as well. ... show more
