"I have had these boots for 9 months. They are very comfortable. They do polish up nicely. I work with agricultural chemicals and exposed the boots to direct contact. The front rubber toe piece is beginning to separate on the right boot. Worth $80.00 to me."

"I am a C.O. and have owned these boot for 8 months now.
Pros: Boots are lightweight, polish up nice, leather seems to be durable. They also clear a metal detector, which is a plus in my line of work.
Cons: Had to replace the insoles at 7 months; the heel was worn all the way through. Even with new soles, they still hurt my feet. Rubber soles wear down pretty fast if you are using them for everyday duty. They also take a while to break in at first, and are uncomfortable until that point. Decent for $80, but if you have an extra $20-$30 in your budget, spend the extra money on something else."

"i have had these boots for about 9 months. they are now falling apart. i really cant complain though. i work as a drill instructor at a boot camp for youthful offenders and put a lot of miles on my feet including running in them. they are light weight and comfortable as advertized. since i only paid 80 bucks for em i wouldnt expect them to last 2 years or more."

"This is not the first pair I have gotten of the Bates brand. I am a large man and not easy on shoes, but both the ultra-lites and the enforcer series are the most comfortable boots I've owned. I put in a lot of time on my feet and they never hurt the way they used to. Great boot."

"I bought these boots and a pair of Thorogoods at the same time. The Thorogoods were great (solid, well made, waterproof, safety composite toe, soles that protected at 150,000 volts or something) but I chose the Bates because I was interested in a pair of tactical boots I could count on if I werechasing someone or vice versa rather than a pair of strictly work boots. And believe me, the Thorogoods were high quality Frankenstein boots. I've only been wearing the Bates for a week so I hope I don't have a lemon like the customer who reported that his pair fell apart in 3 months."

"These boots took several days to break in. The first day, I wished I had not bought them. After a couple hours, I had to leave the zippers unzipped because my feet and ankles hurt so bad. The second day, they felt a lot better, and by the fourth day, they felt great. They are very comfortable and have molded well to my feet. The grip is great, too. I would definitely buy them again, even with them taking several days to break in."

"I bought these boots about 3 months ago, and had no problems with them. until 2 weeks ago, the sole is coming off of the boot ,the liner is coming out, the zippper is broken. both boots are litteraly falling apart. I wear them strictly for work and i can't believe that they're falling apart after only 3 months of wear. This is the worst pair of boots I have ever purchased."

"I bought these for working at the Highway Patrol radio shop and let me tell you...these are great for being inside on slick concrete as well as outside in the mud. They conform to your feet and grip the ground very well. Even though they aren't fully waterproof, they still shed the water very well."
