Bates' USMC-certified Durashock boots combine lightweight utility with comfort. Suited for any situation, these boots are durable, reliable and rugged. Designed to hold up during intense operations, the rubber outsole maintains grip on uneven terrain and the Wolverine Warrior leather upper provides dirt, oil and water resistance. Removable Durashock inserts allow for shock absorption in the heel and forefoot, while the internal liner maintains breathability. The direct attach construction makes these boots ultra-durable. Bates also provides a 30-day Comfort Guarantee, which ensures a full refund within 30 days if you are not convinced that these are the most comfortable boots you've ever worn. Made in USA.

I ordered these boots as a Christmas gift for our son who is in the USMC. He opened the box and I could see the value he placed in this gift. Thank you for offering these high quality boots and shipping them so quickly. Also, I made a mistake when I ordered the boots and did not enter a discount code that the website was advertising. Since it was during the Christmas "crunch" time and it was my mistake, I did not really expect a reply when I emailed and explained my mistake. Not only did they answer my email, they also honored the discount and credited my account for the discount. This is a business run by real people! I will definitely shop here again. Thank you!

I purchased these boots for my son and was worried that they would not arrive in time- I called customer service line and they were absolutely awesome! They put me on hold and called Bates directly, and my son had the boots the very next day! As he enters the Marine Corps, I will ensure that he buys all of his boots from this site

Great boots. The hard part is getting the correct size. I wear an 11 1/2. 20 years ago I had to order several times until I discovered that 10 1/2's fit me. 10 years ago same thing. Ordered 10 1/2's & they were too small. Ended up w/11 1/2's. Same thing this time. Ordered 11's. Too big. Returned them & ordered 10 1/2's.

Bought these boots 2 years ago. Have never had a pair of boots that are this comfortable to wear and could stand up to the assault my feet take every day. The Idaho terrain, weather, and cinder rock has a tendency to eat boots and spit them out. My peers have bought 2-3 pairs of boots in the time I've had mine. While everybody else with issue boots are slipping around on the ice, my feet have been firmly planted. Its almost like there are little cleats on the bottom. The soles have began to wear, but the construction of the boot itself is still in good shape. Get these boots, you won't regret it.

Just got out of Boot Camp, and i purchased these as soon as i Graduated, they are really light and comfortable, haven't done any ruck marches or any CFT's yet to truly see how they hold up, but hopefully these will preform well during MCT.
Only issue is the sizing is weird, i wear 10.5 regular and 10 wide RAT Boots, and these i bought size 9 Medium which fit perfectly fr Bates Lites

The boots themselves are fine. The only reason they get 4 stars is because when they arrived they had a small amount of damage on the right boot, right side where the seam of the sole meets the leather. Outside of that these boots are fantastic. I have gone running a few times in them so far and no blisters or discomfort.

Best boots i have ever bought hands down, they fit so well and are so light, i did a ruck run in them yesterday to see how it would go. No problems! I even tried to stomp in the puddles i ran by and they still look super clean. I would reccomend. I would buy these again.

These boots are absolutely amazing, I bought them to prepare for OCS for the Marine Corps and I couldn't be more impressed with the boots. I am going to recommend these to the rest of the Poolees going to OCS. Great buy!

Exactly as advertised - great, lightweight, inexpensive boots. Size (8.5 XW) was a concern in buying online boots, but these were exactly as needed! Highly please with all of my Tactical gear purchases!

I have had these boots almost two months now, and put roughly 180 miles on them so far. I walk/run every day and usually hike several miles on the weekends. These boots offer great comfort straight out of the box and have good support. They are super easy to keep clean with a brush, very water/stain resistant, and extremely durable. Thanks Bates for a great boot, and TacticalGear.com for the service!
