Men's Bates 11" Paratrooper SZ

Super comfortable, easy to polish, very professional looking! I walk 60 hours a week in these, I've had them for over a year and they're comfortable and look brand new. Takes a bit to break in but once they are best boots I've ever owned!

This was the worst purchase I've made in years! Hard to break in and uncomfortable after 2 months of regular wear. Can't wait for nest uniform allowance to get better boots!

I bought a pair of these boots for heavy duty use in the desert they have taken a real beating on long patrols and have held up well. They are comfortable and support your ankles well. After all the abuse they still shined up nicely for inspection. With my job a dependable pair of boots could make the difference between life and death. I love these boots and I will never trust my life to something else.

I owned my first pair in high school and since then I have searched high and low to replace them. My high school pair lasted me well into my service in the Navy and have finally worn out. They are comfortable and can withstand the daily grind of both an active high school student or a call to general quarters.

These boots are uniformed and perfect. They come prepolished, which is great for anyone one who wants to spend less time polishing, or spend the same time and get a perfect mirror finish. The soles are great for drills and inspections. The zipper is high quality and help for quick dressing. They are very comfortable, and will do a great job all day when it comes to looking good and being functionable. I was on a security detail for Civil Air Patrol on the cape and I was out all day. It rained really bad, but my boots didn't get wet at all. I recommend this to anyone who can get this. only bad thing about them is the fact that is the fact the buckles on the top to secure the zipper are a little bit hard to secure, but if you pull the material in the front back, it zippers and buckles easier.

My last 11" bates zipper sides were incredibly comfortable, durable. They lasted me about 3 1/2 years of near daily use. This is why I just ordered my third pair of Bates boots
