Men's Bates Raide Mid Boots Tactical Reviews, Deals, Problems and Guides

The boot is undeniably light, but the Pros outweigh the Cons.
I’ve had my boots for approximately 10 months, which I utilize for my job, as a home inspector, which entails some periodic low crawls and during that time the front rubber toe cap has become detached from the boot, I expected much more durability, and I’ve also been forced to replace the insoles with Superfeet Trailblazer Comforts, as the factory insoles offer little to no protection and frankly caused a ton of foot discomfort, (Their pricey but worth the $$$)...

Bought these to replace my old tan Bates M-8 boots that I had relegated to motorcycle use. I have had them for a month and think they're great. They are lightweight and offer decent support. They feel more like a shoe than a boot, hence only 'decent support'. Overall, I am considering buying the coyote tan boots for when I'm in uniform to replace my Nike's. They fit close to size, maybe a half size big.

These boots offer good support, ankle protection and form insoles. The padded collars on the ankles are a bit much for my liking, but they feel like a running shoe.

Good boot for everyday wear, they fit ok but an "E" with would have been perfect.

Good quality for the price. This is the second pair of Bates boots. I like them.

Very comfortable, excellent product
