Bates Men's Rush Shield Military and Tactical Boot

size

You need to buy at least a half size bigger to accommodate extra wide.

The shoe itself runs on the smaller side so definitely need a .5 size to a full size up.

I bought these one size bigger and they were still a bit tight.

purchase

width

I wouldnt even consider them wide, they felt like medium.

small-size

wear

but didn't fit
I wear a 10.5 4EW and these were VERY snug.

under-armour

They are way better quality than the Under Armour equivalent and the tread on these shoes actually last unlike the under armour ones.

boot

These boots are light and make you feel like you can run fast if you have to.


Great boots comfortable,, glad I purchased this

comfortable

They fit perfectly and he said they are very comfortable.

comfortable boot

durable

Other than that it’s solid construction and feels durable under my feet.

Bates Men's Rush Tall Side Zip Combat Boot

wear damage

Ripped out within a month
I have only worn this pair of boots for a month and they are ripped in the back.

Bates used to be a good boot and I wore plenty in the military, I guess QA/QC has gone out the door?

sole

Poor
After three months of not everyday use the sole is separating,  creating a trip hazard, Amazon says I’m outside of return window, told me to contact seller, no response from seller.

Insoles are crap
Wouldn’t be a bad boot if Bates would put some quality in the insole, I don’t require orthotics,

had to return/exchange

Returned for new pair…waiting for next pair
Garbage

damage

but seriously….5.11 and Under Armour duty boots are actually cheaper in price and have way better quality insoles and seem better quality overall.

The best of both worlds
Fits like the more dense Bates boots

Also, from being prior military these are more comfortable than Nike, Under Armour, and Rocky.
