This is the second pair of Bates boots I've bought for my husband. He is on his feet all day every day, 7 days a week. He is very hard on footwear and it took a year to wear out the first pair. He says they are super comfortable and took no time to break in. I opted for these this time around as they have a convenient side zip. Will buy again in a heartbeat, highly recommend!
On my feet all day walking through water all day, feet stay dry and comfortable. Have tried other brands but by far the bates ultra lites seem to last longer and are much more comfortable. they are also security frindley I have to clear a metal detector every day and have no problem doing so with these boots, can't say the same about the other brands
on your feet all day, these are a great pair of lightweight, comfortable boots. inseam zipper means quick and easy off and on. zipper has a cover to keep it up and in place. adjust with laces then zip in and out. seem to be waterproofed well. great for hiking, too. great value. glad we found Bates
I've been looking for an affordable work boot to wear on a daily basis. I have found the answer. I've been wearing these boots every day for almost 3 weeks. Light weight, comfortable, and affordable...my 3 favorite things about a shoe/boot.
Hubby bought this boot for very long work days outdoors in the very hot Sunshine State. He says not only does his feet feel comfy after a long day, they also dont stink and sweat as bad. Not a very pretty descriptor but he is a guy and those are his words. Hubby also says they are truly light weight which is a plus after walking or standing on your feet all day. He highly recommends!!
Ordered online. Free shipping, and 20% off discount, how could you go wrong. So I decided to buy 2 pair. Delivered within a few days just as described, with no problems. Opened box and wore them the next day, and I wish I purchased 3 pair. Sizes were on the money and I am very satified.
I have had these boots for almost a year now. From the start they were very comfortable. So far they have shown very little signs of wear. I do give the leather on them a good shine about once a week. The side zipper makes them easy to get into and out of most of the time, but real heavy or damp/wet socks can make that difficult and its back to the laces.
On part of this boot that I particularly like is that they are electrically neutral. I play with metal detectors quite a bit, and having nothing electrically contuctive in the boot is quite an advantage, as the detector is not constantly...
