Men's Bates M-8

I wanted to make sure that whatever boots I got would last for awhile, so I plunked down a little bit more change in order to get a high quality boot. I've worn these M-8s now for nearly a year and am very, very glad that I opted for a design with Vibram soles. The soles have held up very well over rugged terrain and show no signs of wearing out. They're plenty tall enough, that's for sure, but I don't mind that little bit of compromise as long as everything else is sturdy and comfortable. I have no idea why Bates is so cheap on the laces, though, because they needed replacing pretty quickly. The lace loops are rock solid, though. Practically NO breaking-in time and a purchase I'd make again!

looks like a good boot for the money considering buying a pair in the next month or so. so that way i can be able to take power over my job

Great, lightweight boot. Runs a tad large so order 1/2 size smaller than what you would normally wear.
