I use these particular boots for riding motorcycles, due to the protection they afford in the toe, and ease of getting them on and off. Ive used Bates boots for close to 40 years now, between when I was on active duty, and now motorcycling, and daily wear. Some days I wear them from 6 to 6. Theyre comfortable when they break in (a couple days) and I usually get 2-3 years of use out of them. The weak point on these are the zipper, which is usually the reason for a new pair, but as long as you dont abuse them, youll get your moneys worth out of them. Ive trusted Bates for a long time, and havent found anything that works as well.
