I don't usually right reviews unless I'm overly pleased with the product so that should say something in itself. It's comfortable the entire day I'm standing on my feet commonly having 12 and 13 hour shifts as an armed security officer. Keeps your feet dry with no issues and rain. I would buy again in a heartbeat

Great product and service

I've always used Bates, they're great and comfortable, fit just right

The only thing that looked used was the box. I do not think the boots were ever worn.

A sprained ankle dictated a change in footwear to something with better ankle support. The side zip entry really helps to get them on and off.

preparing for long walks with your zombie apocalypse wife keeping away from the zombies, this boot is for you.

I have a hammer toe it's so it's very hard for me to find a work boot that doesn't cause blisters or uncomfortable sore foot by the end of my work day! This boot with the extra wide works perfect doesn't Rub doesn't affect my hammertoe at all...

Good pair of boots so far

Me agrado mucho

This boot fits perfectly. I have no problems.

Me queda bien

great thanks

little hard to get on. Some loops would help.

I work 12 hour shifts and do lots of tactical drills, exercises, etc... These are by far the best for side to side foot support in a lightweight tactical duty / work boot. Excellent value at this price point.

Very comfortable all around. Very durable and waterproof.

Is perfect

The Bates men's 8 Ultralite Tactical Sport side-zip military boot is a replacement for the slightly taller zippered paratrooper boots I used to get from the military surplus store. The fit is perfect, I really need the 3E size. I was very pleased with how comfortable they were, as compliant as tennis shoes. There are also much lighter than those paratrooper boots I used to buy. I love how the zipper pull has a slight bend so it is easy to grab, even when I am wearing gloves. One niggle is I think the little velcro patch that covers the zipper pull when it is up is a bit silly. I would much prefer they used the little bit of leather to make a pull loop on the rearward side of the zipper, so I can pull the boots on while standing. As it is, I like them so much, it is a small thing to sit down to pull the boots on. Another minor niggle is the heel is not very tall, so they might not work well with motorcycle pegs, but I think the small hell will work fine. I don't know if this Bates is related to the old Bates motorcycle seats, but the quality is excellent. I hope to get a lot of use out of these boots.

The only work boots I've ever bought that are comfortable from day one. On my second pair. I love the zip up sides. Only have to tie them once.

Fit good, seems to be an excellent boot

A little rough breaking in but gotten better. Color is closer to desert tan than coyote brown but over all a good looking zippered boot that isn't to bulky and is light weight. Fits as expected.
