These are great boots. I got them instead of Dr. Martens, which I\'ve been wearing for years. I was just fed up with the decline in Dr. Marten\'s quality throughout the years (Docs wouldn\'t last a year without some tear in the leather occurring). I\'ll have to see how well my Bates fare after a year, but my initial impressions are very positive. I love the lace to toe design because it allows a more custom fit feel. The Dura Shock soles are very nice for walking; they seem to propel you forward while walking. The Gore-Tex lining is nice for the security of waterproof footwear, but they can be hot sometimes (the reason for 4 stars on comfort). As for sizing, I found the Bates to run at least a half size big. They are also wider than I\'m used to, especially in the heel. I would have gone with the narrower width if it was sold on Zappos. However, I added an insole and I am satisfied with the fit.

 |  | I just want to say that both my daughter's family and I think you are wonderful, and have been loyal customers for some years now. It all started when she kept getting such personal, caring service from you that stood out from normal online interchanges, and so even though there are competitors she could go to, she stays with you as do I. From our end, it feels like you are one huge caring entity of human beings, quite a contrast to another online retailer, for instance, which seems like a huge robotic entity. And your site is so comprehensive and easy to use. So, thank you. Keep up the good work. |  | ~ Cat B., October 19 2009
