Founded 125 years ago Bates has been making footwear since that time. During the 1960s it focused on the US Navy footwear but during the 80’s and 90’s it expanded to the full military range of boots. The brand became increasingly popular amongst civilian uniformed services. Security firms and many other organizations that have booted uniformed personnel choose Bates boots as their first choice.

Bates also exports many of its products and Bates boots are bought for the Military in more than sixty countries. It also is a huge supplier of Bates boots to the US Federal Government, as well as the defense and public services departments in the US.

Investing a great deal in research and development and the utilization of new and better materials as they come onto the market ensures that Bates boots remains the top of the boots and shoes market. This continual investment in development has led to the massive advancement in the styles, weights and utility of Bates boots, which are renowned for being comfortable and well as durable and capable of performance in extreme situations. The annual production of 1.5million pairs of Bates boots are all aimed at uniformed personnel.

And there are many styles depending on the needs:

• A popular and very successful model is and 8inch, leather and nylon upper, fully laced, virtually from toe to the top. This enables the wearer to tighten the boot to fit precisely. But for ease of the process of donning and taking off there is an inner side zip which is secured at the top by a strap. The soles are rubber with a slip and oil resistant tread as they have an insole which is removable. This example of the Bates boots commitment to high performance.

• Another of Bates boots popular range is for more sporting environments, Still with leather but a lot more nylon has been used in the manufacture of the uppers. The sole too is a lot lighter and it has a mesh lining inside. These boots neither of the 2 models mentioned above have any metal components.

• A very successful range is the Bates boots desert range. These are light tan, olive or cement in color and made with rough leather, either wolverine or suede but with breathable linings and fairly light but made to be non slip. The big difference is the sole of the “Desert Assault” boot which is a 9inch boot with a new composite rubber sole called Vibram Mutant rubber and has passed some pretty stringent tests to assure that this boot is lip resistant, gives traction, and is comfortable and durable. Both models as well as the ladies desert boot have breathable linings.

• Bates also makes a navy boot which is a nine inch waterproof boot with a rubber sole very slip resistant, breathable lining and removable insole. These are lace up boots with no zip as that would defeat the object of the boot being waterproof.

And so the models go on. They have an 11 inch paratroopers boot and a number of 8″ 6″ and 5″ Boots for different applications. Some made of leather, some of Gore-Tex, some with steel toecaps other with composite toecaps. Whatever you wish to use a boot for Bates boots can supply.
