Now, just don't discontinue them *by E***. on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2017* These are pretty good boots for law enforcement/corrections-type work. They keep my feet comfortable during long hours on concrete and steel surfaces and grip well when said surfaces are wet, which is often, since I work in a prison and flooding is a popular source of entertainment among convicts. I've had my oldest pair of these for over a year now and there's just now the slightest sign of wear on the heels. The leather and nylon are still in perfect condition and I've not had any issues with stitching coming loose or giving out. If you put some effort into your boot care, these do take very well to spit-shining. They're cool, although a bit heavier than some offerings on the market but that isn't a problem for me. I like them quite a bit, which means that Bates will probably discontinue them, like they do with everything of theirs that I've ever liked. They remind me of my Danners (Acadia, Ft. Lewis) that I had in the Army, without the $300.00 price tag.*UPDATE*So, if we fast-forward to 02/12/2019, these boots are still holding together well and look just as sharp as ever. I've been spit-shining my own boots since 1989 and I have to say that these Bates take to it more easily than any I've ever owned before. Here's a tip that I'm not even going to charge you for...... When your boots stop taking a shine, DON'T STRIP THEM. Just change the polish that you're using and keep working them. KIWI is my everyday polish but when my boots just won't behave and take a shine, I switch it up and work them with Lincoln and it has NEVER failed to get a breakthrough shine and, after getting the breakthrough, I can switch back to the much cheaper Kiwi.So, let's see..... If I've had this pair of Defenders since 2016, that makes them three years old. I haven't resoled them and still haven't had any issues with stitching or leather or nylon wear-out. I paid less than $150.00 for them, so I still can't justify paying over $350.00 for the Danners that these are based on. Just CAN'T. I'm completely satisfied with this product and may add another pair to my repertoire in the very near future.Oh...... One more thing.... Have I mentioned that I was a "grunt" in the Army, in "light infantry" and "airborne infantry" units for over 11 years and that I post under my wife's screen name because I'm too lazy to create my own account? Yep, fellas... I take my feet and my boots VERY seriously and I HIGHLY recommend these boots for anybody in the law enforcement/corrections/security business. I can't say that these Bates will hold up in a load-bearing role but, if you're just pounding pavement every day and need to look sharp, these are your huckleberries......PS.... Don't be an idiot. Order Sorbothane Insoles. These boots are going to outlast your feet, so you might as well be comfortable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars No break in. *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2024* They squeak! Not recommended for jack boot thugs who want to sneak up on unarmed January 6th protesters. Comfortable from day one. No break in period. Seem to run spot on to maybe a little large. Seem very well constructed, but I've only worn them for a month. Bates was a popular name in the military, and that's what caught my attention. So far I'm pleased with them. Recommend and would buy again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Boots. Great value. Years of service. *by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2015* These are the 4th pair of Bates tactical boots that I have purchased, during my 13 years on the job. (Different styles each time.)I specifically chose this style, this time, because the soles can be replaced when they wear down. My previous 3 pairs of Bates were still in great shape, except that the soles had finally worn down. However, on the other 3 styles I have worn, you cannot replace the soles.I have always found Bates boots to be a great value. They are durable and comfortable, at a fair price. These new ones are no different. I feel comfortable ording Bates, online, because the size is consistent. (Actual sizes vary by manufacturer.) So, these fit great. They are confortable right out of the box. Yes, as new boots always are, they are a bit stiff. But, they begin to break in quickly. Now that I can replace the soles, I anticipate many years of service, from this pair.If you are debating how well the side zipper functions or the support it gives, you can rest assured that the zippers do not fail, and the support is maintained. With the exception of the first pair I wore, all of mine have been side zip. And, they have all provided years of trouble-free service. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bates Men's 8" DuraShock Lace-to-Toe Side Zip Work Boot - Huberd’s Shoe Grease (7.5oz) - Leather conditioner and waterproofer since 1921.
