Love the boots hate the soles. 25 years ago I purchased my first pair of Bates boots and since then I have grown older and my feet bigger. January of '09 I found my second pair of Bates boots and they fit like a glove. Ten months later the soles are falling apart. Since the soles are molded to the boot I don't think they can be resoled. By the way, I have had the old pair resoled for the second time and now my oldest boy wears them when on the motorcycle.

Look:
Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support
A Little Tight - Fortunately, they are breaking in but they were billed as a 9.5 EEEE and maybe they are, barely. Otherwise, they are okay.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: For wide feet, I have yet to find anything better than New Balance or Dunhams

Zappos does it again. I have ordered 3 different pairs of Harley boots from Zappos since 2004. This time I decided to try Bates Tac Support Side Zip. Well, needless to say, I ordered my boots online on a Friday afternoon. I went out Monday morning to do some errands and upon returning home, there on my front porch was the box from Zappos with my boots. I had to try them on and I am a diehard biker and always go with Harley products, but I have to say, the minute you put your feet into these boots you will love them. I have had them on since since coming home and they feel like I have had them forever. I know as time goes on they will feel even better, I just had to say thanks to Zappos for their usual fantastic service and recommend these boots highly.

Best Boots I Have Ever Owned - I love these boots! I bought them for when I ride my Harley, once we arrive at any destination these boots are so light you can walk all day and your feet won't hurt. As they break in it gets better and they look cooler...IMO Don't think twice...Buy them!

EMT-Paramedic Boots - The look and fit of the boot was pleasantly surprising. I have a 4-E wide foot and it is very difficult to get a good fit. These boots were perfect in size and appearance. Thank you!
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Any shoes for public safety and assistance work.
