Men's Bates Leather Uniform Oxford

I wear these shoes everyday all day at an academy. I have done everything from running, parades, push-ups and everyday wear in them and they still feel great. They polish up great and I have no complaints. The sole has worn out so there is no tread on the bottom from facing movements and marching, which makes it hard to walk in snow. But after two years of wear I am NOT complaining. I would definitely buy another pair for the money.

I have narrow feet and over my entire life I have had a tough time finding shoes that fit. I did not have high expectations mail-ordering shoes, but was amazed at the perfect fit and high level of comfort of these Bates oxfords. They look great, appear to be well made, and they were true to size. I could not be more pleased.

I am an USAFA Cadet and these shoes have lasted 2 years. The leather wore out faster than the soles, being vibram you don´t have to worry about it. The heel has a old tap in design making it easy to replace if you wear them down fast. All in all, an amazing shoe for the price, make sure you polish them well the first time you get them, if you are military don´t worry about that part, they will make you do it anyway
