This is my 3rd pair of Bates 11 Paratrooper boots.They're beautiful, wear in well and are arguably the most comfortable footwear (cheap, brand name, boot or shoe, doesn't matter).From what I have seen, they're good for about 3 years before the look and feel worn and unprofessional.Seriously, if you don't need a steel/composite toe boot, anything else (within the price point or less) is trash.
