Bates Delta ICS series tactical Uniform Boots

fEven when I've worn the Bates Delta 8 style 2368 for 12 hour stretches these duty boots have kept me very comfortable. The Bates 2368 uses a very thick insole to absorb shock and provide more than adequate cushion. They use Gore-tex to stay waterproof and breathable. This feature makes them beneficial to a person who is an EMT or any Police officer working in conditions that require protection from the elements. As far as uniform footwear goes, these Delta series Bates boots rank very highly. The soles are oil resistant and slip resistant. The Bates Delta series that includes the 2368 (Delta-8 8-inch) and the 2366 (Delta-6 6 inch), use a high quality zipper. This is very important as the zipper can be a real stress point on a duty boot. Given that they are non-metallic, I've had no problems going through metal detectors at security checkpoints. I anticipate that these boots will prove to be very durable considering that they're made of a combination of real leather and ballistic nylon. Bates is a very high quality brand and has been making military boots for the American military for decades. The comfort system on the Bates Delta boots is quite unique. It's called Individual Comfort System (ICS). On the underside of the insole sits a dial. Two of the positions on the ICS dial are dedicated to compensating for pronation and supination (walking in and walking out). This can really make a difference for people who tend to wear their boots unevenly in that it will help to reduce ankle, knee and back pain and by reducing the overall stress to your body could help to mediate some of the negative cumulative effects that work can have on you later in life. The other two settings help to alternate between comfort and support. This choice would be a personal preference. The fit on these boots is pretty true to size. The medium width is like a regular D width while the wides run like an EE. I recommend these boots to police, EMT, Security and firefighters alike.
