    Once great but now made with very cheap material.
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2018*

These were great boots for many years. I can't tell you how many pairs I have gone through. They are soft sole and very comfortable right out of the box but now I have had two pairs in a row have a zipper fail. Inspecting the zipper it seems to be simply very cheap material. I've tried adding a little oil but nothing works. The zippers are crap as others are starting to report as well. Unfortunately Bates has gone the way as many other companies and lost interest in quality.

    Falling apart - Normally a TOP QUALITY BOOT. Not this pair.
  

*by A***C on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2018*

I love the light weight feel and overall comfort but the boots are falling apart. Have had them less than 2 months and use them limitedly. The sole on the heel os peeling off and the water protection failed after 2 rains and walking in light puddles. For the money I expect more. I am beyond the return window so I am out 150.00 here.I have had Bates before and usually love them. Been in tactical situations in rough conditions and no failures. The fact the ones I have from Amazon are already failing either mean I have a dud pair, they are knockoff or the quality control has gone down. I am going to write Bates directly since Amazon is not giving me an option in my order details to remedy this and I will update the review if the company reaches out to me...

    Brand has tanked.  Obvious quality issues and defects out of the box.
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2017*

These felt comfortable.  No pinching or obvious chafing, however, they started squeaking after wearing them for 5 minutes of walking around the house.  Squeaking is usually a sign of cheap, corner cutting manufacture with the sole to upper attachment.  After reviewing customer pictures and examining the points of failure, I have to say I believe the issues are not solely user error as the non leather or canvas material is like vinyl and IMO, not very durable.  Also, the zipper got stuck about 1 inch from the bottom for no apparent reason, and I felt like I would eventually break the zipper struggling against its being difficult to move up and down, even where it didn't bind up.  I have to say, bates quality does not seem as great as it was 20 years ago.  Another classic american quality bait and switch to chinese quality manufacture.  So I am sending them back and cannot comment on their durability.
