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. Take a look at the youtube video about these boots here

Women's Delta 6 inch Side zip: E02746 / 2746

Bates Boots CT Tactical series Review
One of my colleagues had this to say about the Bates Durashocks CT-8 Boot:
I've been wearing the Bates CT-8 style 2298 for several months now. Even when I've worn them for 12 hour stretches these duty boots have kept me very comfortable. The Bates 2298 uses a durashocks comfort technology to absorb shock and provide more than adequate cushion. They use Gore-tex crosstech to stay waterproof, breathable and resistant to blood borne pathogens like HIV. This feature makes them beneficial to a person who is an EMT or any Police officer working in conditions that require this high level of protection. The Crosstech also adds chemical resistance. As far as uniform footwear goes, these boots rank very highly. The soles are oil resistant and slip resistant. The Bates CT series that includes the 2298 (CT-8 8-inch) and the 2299 (CT-6 6 inch), use a high quality YKK 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 US government for decades. Also, because these boots have the Durashocks comfort system, they come with a 30 day money back comfort guarantee. I hope this review will help you to make your decision. I can recommend these boots to police, EMT, Security and firefighters alike.
