Verified ReviewerBoots Falling apart
Good Afternoon,
I have been purchasing bates boots for years. Been a Customer since 2000 when I would buy them from Lous Police Supply as I was a Police Officer for the City of Hialeah in FL.
I have continued using them in my new field as a Home Inspector. You should be able to find my purchases through my email. I usually purchase a new set of the same boots for Christmas to start the new year right at work.
This year we are by April and the heal of my boot has completely separated as for some reason the stitching has come completely off. Boot # on the inside are as follows E03180 11.5 61042 ****5466** **/2022 I would like to know how to go about getting these boots replaced please.
Respectfully
George Castillo
- Great shoe
- This one was defective
Preferred solution: Boots replaced
Boots not fitting correct on same pair ordered when prior pair worn out
I have been buying bates boots for a long time. More then 15 years.
I had a nice comfortable pair of bates boots that worn out. I bought the same exact ones model # and size and the right boot is tight a round toe area.
I bought the boots from Amazon. I thought i could wear them in but after a week of wearing them they hurt my toes.
To order shoes
I like your products but you have nothing in stock I'm tired of all the excuses of supply chain issues. You can't make money without product.
Change in design
I had been a satisfied customer until recently. I could no longer purchase the style I had, so received what looked closest.
The design is very flawed. The edges and stitching are rough and tear up my legs through socks.
The waterproof flap is not stitched in correctly which gave me an actual puncture wound in my ankle. I will never be a customer again, and I've only had these boots for a week.
- Side zip
- Great grip even in oil grease covered surfaces
- Design and stitching is not good
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution
User's recommendation: Keep looking
Sore Feet
Been the police for 34 years I have worn Bates boots my whole career last two pair were feet killers. Rub on my ankle than the back of my heel.
No cushion and disappointed in Quality. Never again for me . Come on Bates step up your game.
Need new boots I would look elsewhere. Going to try my luck with customer service see if they'll stand behind the product.
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution
Watch the wear before its to late
boots fell apart from sole to boot itself
Terrible quality shoes didn't even last 3 months
I bought two pairs of Bates Tactical boots. I assumed they were top quality and durable since they advertise to active duty servicemen, policemen, firemen, paramedics.
But I either tour a stitch from my movements or the whole bottoms started coming unglued. Hasn't even been 4 months.
You should be ashamed of yourself for advertising to the people that protect and serve, I work at a golf course don't tell me working at a golf course is more strenuous than servicemen's duties. I even went as far as trying to Super Glue them back together because I need them from work, I will never buy from Bates Footwear ever again and I will cast my reviews on to my coworkers and other hard-working Americans
Preferred solution: Make a better product
Boots had a problem,got resolved very quickly
Bought a pair of 6"ultra lights,sole was coming apart after close to 6 months,I keep my boots in excellent condition and do not do above the norm with them,called service dept. They guided me through the form to fill out,send attached foto,after a couple of days received email my boots will be replaced,got them after 14 to 15 days,brand new pair!! Did not experienced what others have ,I also own two other pairs over two years old and still going strong,ultra lights and Delta.
Foot Killers
Bought these boots due to civilian work requirements, as well as to use with my military uniform and I've worn them five or six times and am about ready to throw that money into the trash dumpster over having my feet torn up any more. I've worn and broken in many pairs of govt.
issued boots over my 15 years of AD service and never had any tear my feet up like these.. Went back to my worn out militsry issue boots for now...
- Great grip even in oil grease covered surfaces
- Composite toe
- Side zip
- No cushion to the insole
- Too tight around feet even with larger wide size
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution
Poor Customer Service
After ordering a pair of their tactical police boots for a gift on 12/11, I had not received them after 11 days and contacted customer service. They informed me via robo chat that my order was going to be cancelled because they did not have the product in stock.
I was told it takes a few days to process a cancelation (or they could show out of stock on their web site). So not only is a few days over a week for them, but I had to contact them they didn't bother to contact me in anyway.
I still haven't received my refund. I'm glad I didn't get the shoes now after reading the other post they are *** anyway.
Preferred solution: Full refund
Low quality shoes
This is my fourth pair of bates that have had the heels disintegrate. This was my second time wearing this pair and they fell apart after walking about 100 yards. Completely unacceptable, especially for a 2 year old pair of shoes worn only twice.
