I love these boots so much. I had to walk two miles in the snow and I didn't slip once, or even get my feet wet! Totally recommend these to anyone looking for a solid pair of boots.

One of the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. From the moment I first put them on. Very minimal "breaking in" needed. They're waterproof and warm, until the soles wear thin. I do a lot of inner city walking, and I found that the soles can wear through in 6 months.

I decided to try these boots out after my last pair of army issued boots finally died. And these things are bloody marvelous. They're extraordinarily comfortable and required barely any time to break in. I'm not a big fan of the zippered side, but it doesn't cause any discomfort. I just don't feel it helps with taking them off/on. Now that I'm out of the military, I'm sure I'll stick with Bates for my normal, everyday boot needs.

I ordered these boots at 9:00 on a Monday night, and they arrived Tuesday morning at 10:00 am. I can't believe how fast the service was and I only picked ground shipping! Thanks Zappos for terrific service. As for the boots, they are very comfortable and affordable! They are a little tight at first, but I wore them around the house for about an hour and they loosened up right away. Also, I'd say buy a half size smaller than what you would normally wear. I recommend to anyone!

Darn good boot. You can not beat the light weight and the zipper is as smooth as silk on a winter's day. The only drawback is the boot wears out a little faster than others I have had.
I'd also recommend: Blackhawk! Air Tac boot.

Best Boots I Have Ever Owned - I love these boots! I bought them for when I ride my Harley, once we arrive at any destination these boots are so light you can walk all day and your feet won't hurt. As they break in it gets better and they look cooler...IMO Don't think twice...Buy them!
