i got these for my police cadet uniform, and they’re not crazy good but it works fine. it’s a lot more comfortable than other brands and the shine is good. it takes awhile to break into but once you wear it often it should fit good. size is true to size and other than that the shoe works.
I was able to spend several hours and long distances in these shoes after I broke in the back. Got a blister on my heal initially. Otherwise fantastic!
This is a nice upgrade from the old corfam shoes I had for my dress uniform. It is stated that most say this shoe fits true to size but I find that it is approximately 1/2" larger than stated. I normally wear a size 12 which is what I ordered but an 11 1/2 would of fit perfect.For me it is not worth the extra effort to get the correct size as I will hardly wear these but for someone who will be wearing these day to day on your feet you may want to take the sizing difference into consideration.The shine itself it awesome, no noticeable scuffs are marks. I also like that it has the small padding around the opening of the shoe so it doesn't dig in to the back of your ankle. The only thing that I see that may need replacing soon are the shoelaces. It might just be me but it doesn't seem these laces will hold up very long. I almost feel like if I try to cinch these up with a little too much pressure (like if I'm in a hurry) I would rip the laces apart.Other than that, this is a great shoe. Good insole, good tread pattern and I like the fact that it has a rounded toe unlike my previous ones that had a tapered point type toe.
Amazing shoes, for my airline uniform, i loved the fit, these are comfy, shiny, i do really love bates!.
Came as expected and were a great fit. Bates are really light and for the price you cannot beat them.
I purchased these to wear in uniform. However, they are very bulky and have much thicker soles than what I was expecting.They are comfortable, fit as expected, and are ok in uniform. Therefore, they get the Amazon guidance 3-stars of "it's ok."My issue with them is that they don't necessarily look professional. When the pants cover the laces, they end up looking like boots because of the bulkiness of them. I purchased them to replace my old shoes that looked like nice, professional, shoes, and these missed the mark.I'll keep them (because I need them), but I'll be looking for another pair that I can see in person before I purchase.
Good fit, quality construction. Perfect for our unit. Excellent price.
Works well with my orthotics and has always been comfortable. Been wearing these since the 90s. It's my third pair and they never fail. Looks great with my class As.
