Purchased these shoes for my graduation and they creased in the top by the where the lace flap is as soon as I took a step in them. I was so annoyed but they got the job done for the occasion. You also have to change the insoles if you plan being in them and on your feet for an extended amount of time. You also have to keep them stuffed when you store them in the box in order to keep them from creasing more.

I am former military and I had a formal event to attend. ( Black tie). My only reference being my military formal wear standards. So these were my go to for foot wear. I skipped the fragile and dainty looking tuxedo formal wear shoes for men for this option.Fit - I ordered the wide width. The fit my foot well. Toe box did not give me any issues. I sure them for about 10 hours.Sole - The sole was a bit thicker than what I remember lites having when I was active duty. But I appreciate that. I've gained weight since then, the extra weight absorption is a plusInsole - I ditched the one that came with it and added the most expensive Dr. Scholls. I do that with all my foot wear. My experience was with our a hitch or foot pain after 10 hours of wear. The one that comes with it is decentMaterial - The are patent leather corframs. If your buying these chances are that doesn't need explanationBuild/construction - There are other brands of this style and type of foot wear out there. This brand is the standard for issue and wear by the Navy and Marines and that is good enough for me.Would I buy again? - Hopefully I will never have to. But if I did, YES I would buy them again.

As a military retiree, there are times that wear my uniform for patriotic events or as a guest speaker. My old uniform shoes are very heavy. However, these bates shoes are a perfect fit for my 4E foot, and they are extremely comfortable. I wish I had a pair of these while I was on active duty. Simply the best ever shoes for the military retiree.

Soles wear out after 22 days of work. Heel wares down quicker. After 6 hours crease that tares.Bates refuses Canadians clients. We buy from 2nd party so no warranty. Wolverine is Bates so no Canadian can purchase from them. Canadian price more than double after exchange rate. Other brands do not perform as well as Bates. 10 year customer.

Very comfortable shoes. They have soft rubber soles and don't make a noise when walking as I know some other brands do which my co-workers wear. Don't breath as much as I would like as my feet tend to sweat in them and I don't normally have sweaty feet. I suppose that with this style of shoe, it may be difficult to make them breathable. They fit just a touch smaller in length than I was hoping for but not to small to make me want to return for a larger size. Width was perfect. Shipping to Canada from the USA was very quick with amazon free standard shipping, less than a week!

Very nice shoe. I have tried several different brands and the Thorogood may have been a little softer feeling on the foot but this shoe is very comfortable as well and seems to have a better sole. I have to wear these shoes everyday for work and generally I'm in them for at least 10 hours a day. This shoe feels well made and comfortable to wear even when walking around. Because of the synthetic material they aren't going to breath like other shoes but that is the only drawback that I can see. I wear them for law enforcement purposes and not for food service so, I can't speak as to their slip resistance. These shoes generally only last me for about a year before needing to be replaced, generally because of the sole wearing out. All in all, so far, a very nice shoe.

This is a nice upgrade from the old corfam shoes I had for my dress uniform. It is stated that most say this shoe fits true to size but I find that it is approximately 1/2" larger than stated. I normally wear a size 12 which is what I ordered but an 11 1/2 would of fit perfect.For me it is not worth the extra effort to get the correct size as I will hardly wear these but for someone who will be wearing these day to day on your feet you may want to take the sizing difference into consideration.The shine itself it awesome, no noticeable scuffs are marks. I also like that it has the small padding around the opening of the shoe so it doesn't dig in to the back of your ankle. The only thing that I see that may need replacing soon are the shoelaces. It might just be me but it doesn't seem these laces will hold up very long. I almost feel like if I try to cinch these up with a little too much pressure (like if I'm in a hurry) I would rip the laces apart.Other than that, this is a great shoe. Good insole, good tread pattern and I like the fact that it has a rounded toe unlike my previous ones that had a tapered point type toe.
