The Bates 8" Side Zip is easy on and off. They look big and heavy but are actually light and are easy to walk in. I work on concrete and steel floors all day and these boots are fairly comfortable. There are no completely comfortable boots. I've had them for several months. If they last for about two years, I'll buy another pair.

Nice shoe - Nice boot. Very comfortable. It run a 1/2 size bigger than actual size. Very stylish boot!

Negative Reviews:

Rating:**
Great, but... The good: comfortable. Not too heavy with good padding and shock absorption. Great ankle support, which is important. The zip entry is very quick and convenient. They clean up well. They also look like boots as opposed to a tall pair of cross-trainers, which I appreciate. The bad: durability. The soles are quite soft and wear very quickly. If you spend a lot of time walking on concrete or any abrasive surface, skip these boots. I've had them for about eight months and the soles are already wearing completely flat in places. Also, the sole has begun to separate from the upper in the toe area on my left boot. Verdict: they were good while they lasted, but I won't be purchasing them again. I need something that will last longer.
