These are great boots. I got them instead of Dr. Martens, which I\'ve been wearing for years. I was just fed up with the decline in Dr. Marten\'s quality throughout the years (Docs wouldn\'t last a year without some tear in the leather occurring). I\'ll have to see how well my Bates fare after a year, but my initial impressions are very positive. I love the lace to toe design because it allows a more custom fit feel. The Dura Shock soles are very nice for walking; they seem to propel you forward while walking. The Gore-Tex lining is nice for the security of waterproof footwear, but they can be hot sometimes (the reason for 4 stars on comfort). As for sizing, I found the Bates to run at least a half size big. They are also wider than I\'m used to, especially in the heel. I would have gone with the narrower width if it was sold on Zappos. However, I added an insole and I am satisfied with the fit.
