BatesMen's Cobra Jungle Coyote Tactical Jungle Boot

Purchased this boot to meet the new coyote color requirements and maintain a jungle boot style and fit.Overall, the boot meets expectations for a boot. The issues I had were related to sizing. In every other boot I own across a variety of manufacturers and styles, I wear a 10 1/2. The 10 1/2 I ordered came in and was incredibly tight in the toe areas. I held it up to a 10 1/2 in another brand, and the length of the Bates boot was at leas a 1/2 inch shorter in length. Exchanged for an 11 and it fits much better.The laces on these boots are not quick laces by any stretch. They are robust and thick, but require time to tighten and loosen when taking off the boot or putting it on. In addition, the laces are much too short, barely leaving enough room to tie with no real ability to tuck and loop the laces.After about 2 weeks of wear, they are relatively comfortable for day to day garrison type use. The side jungle boot 'mesh' is similar to other jungle boot styles and seems to be wearing well.If the sizing and laces are addressed, this could be a 5-star boot.

I let me start off with saying I wear boots daily for work. I gave these boots 3 stars because they seemed like thay were made of quality products. I did send the boots back, thank you Amazon. I wore them for about 3 weeks and was not happy with them I had pinch points on my toes. The lower eyelet on the ankle hit right on my ankle bone, which caused it to be uncomfortable. There was also a spot on the top of my foot that had pressure that caused pain after several hours of wear. I had a pair of Rocky boots before these and after I sent the bates back I bought another pair of the Rocky SV2. Save your time and buy the Rocky's.

Decent boots, great air circulation (dry quickly and I can feel the air go through them if I wear while riding my motorcycle), and size fit according to expectation; weak soles mine are starting to flake off. I used these on average 3-4 times a week while teaching an tactical course for the military in the Utah mountains. I doubt I ever have done much more than 30 miles with them in any given week since getting them. Purchased them in June of 2017 and by November of the same year the soles are starting to have small pieces (especially near the heel; other areas have early cracks) flake and then come off.Additionally the shoes had weird & uncomfortable two piece inserts when I first purchased. I removed both of them and have been using the inserts I normally use and they've been very comfortable with them.

Great for lightweight boot but the materials just dont hold up well, i have had them less than 6 months (3/17/20) and allready wore through the soles and have holes on both feet, the plastic support in one boot cracked and both boots had the sole unglue from the toe portion. The leather has held but the tread was doomed by design for having hollow lugs/treads to save weight I mostly wore them in office through the week and one field excercise, even at their pricepoint i cannot recommend them to anyone for failing to last even a half year of moderate use. They were comfortable as first but not worth buying again.

The boot overall fits pretty good and has been comfortable. The only true complaint I have is the boot is a little right on the top of my foot. That being said, they were INCREDIBLY uncomfortable out of the box. Make sure you unlace the entire boot and re-lace then prior to trying to break them in. If you lace them up looser, they are much more comfortable. This is the reason for a 4/5 star.Overall, solid construction on the boot and nice looking too. I’m in the Air Force and some of the guys in my unit have complemented them.
