On the way to becoming one of the world’s largest uniform footwear companies, Bates boots has traveled a long and formative road. The company began as a small dress footwear maker in 1885. In the early 1960s, the Bates Shoe Company changed direction to focus on making the finest military dress shoes for the United States Navy.

 

The overwhelming popularity of the original Bates boots uniform oxford quickly led to the development of many more military styles for all branches of the armed services, until the company was exclusively making uniform footwear. Meanwhile, the demand for the Bates brand crossed over into the civilian uniformed services as the company’s products gained a reputation as exceptionally well suited for doing some of the most demanding and important jobs on earth.

 

The Bates Boots experience spread worldwide during the 1970s and 80s, so that now we are outfitting elite military organizations in over 50 countries. Market-leading innovation continues to lead the way to Bates’ future — while the company will never waver from its dedication to craftsmanship, integrity and value that has proudly brought us to where we are today.

I have these same exact boots - I use them for Airsoft and for when I'm doing outdoor shooting. They're VERY comfortable. I was able to get them for $45 though, but this was like 3 years ago.

Oh snap. Might just have to pick up a pair.....

Good deal, they don't came in my size :-(

how is their sizing compared to normal shoes?

About the same as boots and dress shoes everywhere. I wear a size 9 Bates boot. Dress shoes are 9-9.5. Sneakers 10-10.5.

 

Also - Dick's carries some Bates boots. I went to the Dick's in EB to try on a couple pairs to see the sizing.

Just received another email.. . enter NOTIME into the coupon code section and receive 15% off everything, including current promotions. Sale expires 12/27/10

Which drops them down to $60. I might just have to take them up on that offer the day after Christmas....

How light would you say these boots are compared to.....say regular work boots?

The boot itself is lighter than say, a pair of Timbs. They're very comfortable - they go high up on your leg and hold your ankles in place very well.

Just ordered a pair for 70 shipped... great deal + the coupon even better!
