I''ve had these boots for over two years. They clear the metal detector and take a beautiful spit shine. They are still in good condition but I need to replace them, after all this time as I have rubbed the dye down with repeated spit shining. Excellent product.

These boots are great, they are really worth the price. I can feel a major difference between these and my old pair of boots I used to wear. Bates Durashocks all the way!!

Excellent boot. I have been looking for the perfect pair of boots for some time and have finally found them in Bates. The Defender fits perfect, provides support on those long days and looks as if they will hold up through it all. Everything I was looking for in a boot. Looking to get another pair for back-up.

I have had these boots for about 4 months now and have no major complaints. They take a little breaking in at first, but once thats done, they are the most comfortable boots you can have. They are still in great condition and have little if any scuff marks. These easily handle the 8-10 hours of foot patrol and responding to calls I perform 5 times a week.

After being issued several types of boots, from time spent in The Corps,BP, Detention officer and now with ICE. I got to say these are one of the most comfortable and durable boots around. I am on my third pair!

Excellent footwear. They''ve lasted me two years without a problem except for the odor. Very hard to get rid of the smell.
