These boots not only look great but we're really put together and made to last.
I had to return them because I have a
Foot injury from the service and my doc
recommended I wait until I get problems
resolved before I get any more shoes.
I will be back for a pair these I can't wait.
Watch the sizes they run large.

That's what I use them for. I bought a used pair from ebay and they were already broken in and comfortable. Couldn't find them again. Accidentally bought the ones with the zipper and no comparison. The used pair lasted 4 years and kept my feet dry in the NYC slush and rain. Toward the end I felt my feet getting a bit wet at times. Happy I found the right pair. 9.5 and the fit is right on. Its going to take a little while to break these in but worth it, because I'll have them for five winters.

The Bates Durashcocks are super comfortable and the answer I was looking for. Medium width still runs wide and I had to order a size down, FYI. You may need to do the same depending on your feet. The night I got the boots, I wore them for a PR event where I was on foot the entire time. By the end of the event the boots had wore in and were super comfortable. Also, the reordering process was very efficient and the customer service was professional with Cat5 Commerce and Tacticalgear. I will continue to shop here!

I bought a pair of these boots about 6 months ago and have used them as an on duty boot at a police dept. day after day they put out very well as far as cmfort standing on the black top for hours cleaning up accidents or walking doing community event. With the shock absorbing sole and the insole that comes with the boot i have not worn anything more comfortable. great buy for the price. the only problem is the toe leather will crakle a little after many shinings of the boots great boot to wear on duty

I'm looking to buy my 3rd pair of these boots; I've tried others but keep coming back to these. The Dura-shock soles are very comfortable and the boots "break in" pretty quickly. I bought the Gore-tex lined ones which keep my feet dry and the insulated ones for winter which kept me warm. When my soles of my 1st pair finally started to wear out, I took them to a shop, had them resoled with a Vibram sole and still wear them regularly. They're a great boot, at a reasonable price.

I own 3 pair of these, my oldest pair since 08'. Love their durability and comfort. Problem is the last pair is at least a full size too large and the eyelets are different which makes them it harder to pull them tight by having to pull each individual cross section tight after putting them on or to taking them off. Still going to try to exchange to a smaller pair and hopefully I'll like the new ones as much.

This is a very high quality boot. I have had many duty boots because I worked in Law enforcement and actually got free or low-cost promotional items, including some very pricey, big name boots. Some of the high ticket items were junk.
The Bates Dura-Shocks live up to the name. Very well made, comfortable and take a blinding shine. They are not too heavy and can be worn for twelve hours with no problem.

description was correct and is the boot looking for. excellent construction, comfortable and the heel is perfect for those with a smaller heel. no steel toe makes these wearable all day.

Best purchase I have ever made when it comes to footwear. I can wear these all day going here and there without any foot pain at the end and for a man 6'2 and 300lbs that is flat footed is a wonder of the world.
