Men's Bates GX-4 GTX

Love these boots as an all year boot. I deal with a lot of slippery conditions as a tow operator and these boots stand up to the task, as well as, keeping me upright. Only complaint would be longevity of the soles. Im tearing mine apart and Ive owned them less than a year and no one in my area resoles glued soles.

Im on my feet for most of the day at the station and I needed a boot that was comfortable, waterproof, and affordable. The Bates GX-4 is definitely it. They run a little on the narrow side so I would recommend the extra wide.

Just received these boots and they are extremely comfortable straight out of the box. They have a sleek look and I like the gore tex lining. I did alot of research on these prior to ordering and the main complaint was they ran a little narrow, so I got the extra wide and they fit just right. The only thing I would recommend is to get some longer laces cause these are short.

I've been searching for a boot like this forever! Light, dry, and made well, although longevity is still to be determined. In fact I have just ordered the 8" insulated side zip version as it's getting colder here. I have a high instep and wide feet, so they are a little hard to put on and are a little narrow for an xw, (this I know has a lot to do with the Gortex membrane.

They are not bulky work looking boots, I wear these to church and everywhere in the winter. The leather is good quality andshines up great. I live in snow country and with Gators I've been in snow up to my knees this winter for hours and they are warm and perfectly dry. I usually wear a 10.5 D; I ordered the medium and it was very narrow. The wide in this boot was way better and very comfortable for me.

I work on my feet all day long as a UPS driver and I must say in my 20 years with the company I finally found my boot of choice in the Bates Gore-Tex boot. I deal with all the different elements outside all year round and this boot provides me with all the features one could want in a great work boot. The bates provides great and sturdy support, weather protection, comfort and great looks. The only concern I have is that it would be great if the boot came in half sizes all the way to it's biggest size.
