User Review of Bates GX-4 2766 duty boot

I recently purchased the Bates GX tactical boot (at www.policefeet.com ) -4 for women. I started looking at the men's version and was delighted to learn that they are made for both men and women, and in my size! The boot is a short four inch boot which is really great for me because I find that higher boots often rub on my legs and I didn't want to go through that again. It can be difficult to find good boots when your a size 6 that are made for actual work. I'm a mail carrier in Michigan and I walk for hours a day. I deal with rain, sleet, and snow on a daily basis. I really needed something that was completely waterproof and comfortable and that's why I initially considered police boots as an option. I usually put an insole into my boots but I decided to try the boot out before I changed the insole. I noticed that the insole was plenty thick and comfortable. I really liked the quality of the Bates boot as well as how it looks. The leather was thick, durable, and formed around my foot just after a week. Also they are just as waterproof as I needed them to be. They have this waterproof liner that is actually inside of the boot and I no longer have to spray the boots with a treatment because water can't even get to my foot in the first place. I would really suggest this boot for anyone that has to walk a lot. I already told my two best friends about them and one is a waitress and one is a EMT.

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.

Great Site for information on Timberland Pro Valor Duty footwear

I found a great site to learb about the fit and comfort of the Timberland Pro Valor line of public safety footwear. It's new from Timberland is very distinct from their regular outdoor or fashionable shoes. These really seem to be designed with police and EMT folks in mind.

Great Prices on Bates Boots from policefeet.com

The people at policefeet are pretty impressive. I ordered my Bates CT Boots on their website and Their prices are very good considering that they provide free shipping and even double it up in that if your boots don't fit right, they'll send out the second pair for free as well. Their selection of Bates boots are pretty good. My boots were shipped the day after I placed my order and arrived on my doorstep a day later. I'll definitely consider policefeet the next time I buy boots. Stay tuned for my review of the 2298 and 2299 from Bates Footwear. You can get to the site by clicking here Policefeet Uniform Footwear
