Fifteen year old thinks they are the best!

Jul 16, 2020
It’s difficult to please a teenager sometimes but our guy saw these being worn in a movie and googled them and we had a birthday gift request...these Bates boots. He is happy so we are happy.

Good boots, bad zipper.

Jun 20, 2020
So, I do admit that I am very hard on boots and normally a pair will last me about 1 to 1 1/2 years. I am about to purchase my 3rd pair of Bates tomorrow. My current pair is in overall good physical condition a bit of wear and tear but overall in good shape except for one thing, the zipper. My last pair had the same problem, the zipper broke. The pair I am currently replacing, the zipper also broke. Comfort is excellent. It is not unusual for my day to last (boots on till boots off) about 15 hours or more. I am on my feet a lot during that time. So comfort to me is very important, and my Bates have never failed in that area. While a great product I would recommend using heavier zippers as that has been the failure in the last two pair. Granted they both lasted me 1 to 1 1/2 years. So while a excellent product, and one that I would highly recommend keep an eye on the zippers.

Works well!

Jun 14, 2020
I have worn this type for 2 pairs a year each ,in EMS it was comfortable and light, no issues. Now working K9 it came in clutch once again with exception of water that comes in but not a complete deal breaker. I will be getting a different pair only because I prefer waterproof otherwise I will keep getting them.

Comfortable boot

Jun 02, 2020
I am on my fourth pair of these boots. the last time I was ready for a new pair of boots, I looked around at other brands. I ended up coming back to what I know which is this bates side zip boot, EO2261. They are true to fit, ready to wear right out of the box, polish up for an excellent shine. I am not being compensated from Bates for this review. When I find a great product, I share with others.

2nd pair not so great

Apr 13, 2020
I bought my first pair in 2006 when I came home from Iraq and 13 years later I finally had to toss them out. Don't get me wrong I didn't wear them every day but they were wore often. The zipper went out but the sole and heal was still in great shape. 2nd pair I bought November 2019 for my birthday and I am already having water leaking in due to a gap between the fabric and the sole on the right foot. Not very happy with these, not sure what may have happened with the quality of the material. Written 4-13-20
