      What is iCS Technology?
      Bates offers an Individual Comfort System (iCS), which helps find that just-right fit. Developed by the Bates Product Design Team and wear-tested by actual customers, the iCS technology offers a flexible and effective way for consumers to define all-day comfort on their own terms.

      How iCS Technology works
      The iCS disk allows adjustment of firmness and cushion in the heel area to maximize comfort. The disk is integrated directly into the shoe’s midsole and can be placed to rest at one of the four zones. Each zone satisfies different comfort needs, allowing the user to place comfort where they want it.

      • Firm Zone:Increases energy return and maximizes all-day support
      • Outward Zone:Reduces outward tilt and encourages natural walking motion and stability
      • Cushion Zone:Increases heel cushioning and maximizes shock absorption
      • Inward Zone:Reduces inward tilt and encourages natural walking motion and stability

    About Bates

    Bates collage It all started with men's dress shoes. In 1885 Bates Shoe Company was just a tiny dress footwear manufacturer. More than seven decades later, the company narrowed its focus to create a uniform dress shoe specifically for the U.S. Navy. From there, its uniform footwear line exploded onto the market. With 1.5 million pairs of military boots sold each year in 60 countries, it's no surprise that Bates remains a major player in the world of military footwear. With a reputation like Bates', it's easy to see why so many uniformed men and women wear these military boots with pride.

    • 5 out of 5 My feet are very rough on boots and I'm required to stand over 8 hours a day without siting. Today will be my first day wearing these. I've noticed a huge improvement over my last pair and I cannot really find anything wrong with these right now. They came in size 13W as promised and have plenty of room for my big clumsy neanderthal feet. For the price I really hoped they would've included gore-tex, however I don't see myself wading in waters or snow anytime soon since I live in the desert. They are much easier to put on than traditional Bates and came ready for action as promised. I had only 2 minutes to take these out of the box and readily slip them on my feet. Unfortunately my shipment didn't cohere with work schedule and they arrived after I clocked in. I'm only given thirty minute breaks and neglected my meal for these. Lets just say it was worth it. Their breathable, comfy, adjustable and sturdy. I hope they surpass 3 years. I put my foot wear through a lot of abuse. I'm proud to stick behind Bates quality. With or without the proper care.

    • 2 out of 5 Now at 163 days on the boots. No problems whatsoever with right boot. Left boot stitching has parted where the top of the heel cup meets the top material wrapping the ankle. Outside boot stitching, not the inside. Started slow but got progressively worse, left heel now has side to side slop and support is lessening by the week. Customer service is working with me from my location to work out a swap/exchange, so all is not lost. Of note, the boots have only gotten wet on 2 occasions, and dried out quickly. Could be a contributing factor, but these ARE military boots and should be able to hang a little tougher.

    • Excellent boots......

    • 5 out of 5 I've been wearing this boot almost daily for the past 3 years without any problems whatsoever. Lightweight and comfortable right out of the box. Only in recent months has one lace started to wear out. Comes close to Danner quality at a much lower price. My next pair of boots will be this model with GoreTex.

    • Excellent boot, lousy laces:

    • 2 out of 5 Al Asad Airbase, Iraq: For starters, on this websites scale of 1 to 5, the boots themselves are a 5. Thanks to the Bates company selection of a wimpy lace, the boots fall to a 2 because they "need that special something". 20+ USMC veteran and now DOD contractor working in Iraq, I purchased the boots just prior to coming over. The boots fit properly right out of the box and do NOT appear to run a 1/2 size larger of smaller than other boots. Break-in was not noticeable at all, as my socks were new/thicker and the boots were so comfortable from day 1. Ankle support is great, the boot is lightweight and feels more like a comfortable running shoe than some of the stiff "bricks" I wore on active duty. My one complaint with the boot are the laces. As good as the boot is, the lace outer sawed through at numerous points after only 11 days, exposing the black inner core material. Knowing it was just the start, I started "nursing" the laces and immediately picked up a pair of backup laces for the day when the originals would snap. That day came only 34 days after having received the boots. Now on day 35, I highly recommend the boot to anyone looking for a sturdy, lightweight, well-tractioned boot that requires zero break-in time and feels natural on your foot. Be advised however, that you'll need aftermarket laces within a month.

    The Mission Continues
    Many veterans struggle to find purpose at home without the structure, mission and camaraderie of a military unit. The Mission Continues is the only national nonprofit challenging post-9/11 veterans to rebuild purpose through community service. The organization empowers veterans to serve once again in their communities through a 28-week service fellowship at a nonprofit organization. Their Fellowship Program is reshaping the way this country welcomes home our veterans by showing that these men and women are tremendous assets whose leadership and skills can be vital to their community’s improvement. By empowering them to serve as civic leaders, their service gives them purpose and strengthens their communities.
