WOW!
Took one day to break in, after brek in they are just outstanding. Tread wears a little quick but I also put in about 60 hours a week.

HIGHLY Recommend this boot
I just recently purchased this boot, and after only 2 days of a break in period, I can honestly say this is one of the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever worn. They stay tight and snug, but move with your ankle with ease. I highly recommend these boots.

Awesome comfort, great looking
These boots are very comfortable and look great too. They are stiff at first but after about a day or two these boots are broke in and are very comfortable to wear for long periods when needed.

Boots are work worthy
I replaced a pair of duty boots with the Bates Durashocks and that same day felt less fatique on the base of my foot. Great fit as well.

Great Boot
These are the best boots I have ever bought!! Break in is about two days. They are so comfortable, they are the only boots I have worn since I got them. And I am very picky on my footwear.

Awesome Boots
These boots were comfortable straight out of the box, and alot lighter than I expected. I'm seriously considering buying another pair to put up for later.

Great Boot
I just got my boots for christmas and I like them. They are good looking, very comfortable. The zipper stays up fine. I have worn them every day on and off duty. These are better than the boots I was issued from my department.

Excellent Boots!!!
It took a day or two to wear them in. But after that they have been more comfortable than sneakers! Working Security keeps me on my feet, but at the end of the night I still feel great!
Great Job!

So far, so good
Needing to have both knees replaced, I am not usually able to stand for much more than 5 minutes. On top of that, I am extremely picky about my shoes. These boots feel good and actually allow me to stand for longer periods.

Great Boot
Got this boot a few days ago, takes about a day or 2 to break them in but overall good boot, very comfortable. The zipper seems to stay up without any hassle.

GOOD BOOT
These are very comfortable and durable boos. I've had mine for several months, walking the halls the the prison. No complaints. Looks are not that great.

Great Boot
I just bought these boots to replace a battered and well worn pair of Rocky FirstMeds that I've had for the past 5 years. I had these boots broken in in 2 days. Very comfortable once you get used to them. While not waterproof, they are VERY water resistent and kept my feet dry at an MVA today. Highly recommend these boots.

Best boots I ever wore
Very comfortable boot, they break in within a day. I wear them 40 to 60 hours a week, and I highly recommend them.

Great boot if you aren't always on your feet
This is a great boot as long as you aren't on your feet for hours on end. When I walked the foot beat for 8 hour shifts and they hurt my feet. Needed new insoles to correct the problem. Shine up good, and look good too.

Great boot; but
I just ordered them and got them the other day. GREAT boot. Very durable and comfortable. HOWEVER, I do not like the style of them. They are too cloggy. I guess I'm more of a athletic/performance type tactical boot person. Construction is great though!

Great Boot!
These are great boots, they have good support, and absorb shock very well. Downside is they run big, you might want to buy smaller than normal.

GREAT BOOT
I have owned three pairs and I am about to buy another. By far the most comfortable boot I have ever worn.

Big feet big problem
I looked at many boots and read all the reviews and thought these would be the best for as much walking we do in corrections. I have wide big feet and buying the extra wide boots I thought I'd be ok. Not so true. They hurt the minute I put them on and I had to return them. If you have wide feet be wary.

Bricks
Durashock doesn't mean comfortable. Boots are loose and don't conform to the foot at all. After 5 months it feels like I have two bricks tied to the bottom of my feet. I have to buy a new pair of boots before these even wear out!

Best boot I have ever put on my feet.
Even though I answered 587 calls last year, my feet have to thank the people at Bates for one great shoe.

Very comfortable boots and easy to maintain.
A firefighter of three years and now a member of the USAF these boots help get me through some long days on my feet. The Durashock system works really well while walking. The leather is very easy to shine as well for those who like there boots to like real good. Downside is they're a little wide but otherwise comfortable.

I was leary buying a pair of boots online, but these boots are the best I had on my feet in a long time. Limited break-in time, great boot overall!!

Outstanding !
I have been in Law enforcement for 25 years. I have worn a lot of boots in my time. This is the most comfortable boot I have ever worn. If you work a lot of extra jobs that require you to stand, this is the one to buy!

Truly Great Duty Boots!!
Do yourself a favor and order 2 pairs of these boots. Yes, they are that nice!! Break in for mine only took 2 days. These boots also have no metal in them. For those of us that have to go through metal detectors this is a plus.

Like walking on air
I have used these while in Police Explorers, working Security, and now in Police rookie school. These are the best boots ever. Well worth the price 2 day break in period. A must have.
