Bates Fuse Tall Side Zip Men

the price an fast shipping did shock me... everything from start of purchase to receiving boots was great, an I'm very pleased with the structure an comfortably, I have n still do recommend this item to my family and friends and coworkers.

Been wearing Bates Boots for 15 years… usually buy 2 pair at a time, oversize them (1-1/2 over), add gel work boot inserts, %26 switch off each pair every other day. Keeps my feet comfortable, dry, and relatively well-protected; don't like steel toes, but don't work where I'd need them either. (The first few years I wore them, I didn't use gel inserts, but I'm getting older %26 my dad recommended inserts because I'm on my feet %26 moving 10-14 hrs/day. Very helpful!) Other boots I've tried don't fit as well: have wide feet, high arches, %26 a high instep. I'll wear the soles off in 4-6 months, the lace grommets fall out, the zippers break, etc.. My Bates boots last over a year (taking the switching off into consideration) and that's because of the high mileage (the zippers %26 boot-lace grommets don't tear out or wear out.) I just walk the bottom treads off. Customer service is usually great too. Highly recommend side-zip Bates Boots (if not “water resistant” ones.)
