Bates footwear! Police Equipment Reviews has already mentioned on several occasions that Bates footwear is one of the best police boot manufactures. A good pair of police boots is very important. We are on our feet for most of the day. We carry a ton of police equipment that includes our American Body Armor, Bianchi duty gear, and Glock handgun. That weight adds up and the last thing we want are sore feet!!
Police Equipment Reviews has been wearing Bates police boots for quite some time. Currently we are wearing the Bates Enforcer boots. However, they are wearing out and we are looking into buying a new pair, preferably the a pair of the best police boots! After some research, we have narrowed our search down to the following 2 pairs of Bates boots: Bates Enforcer Ultra Lites boots (Yes another pair!) and the Bates GX-8 boots.
We have already done reviews on the Bates Enforcer police boots, so we will provide some information on the Bates GX-8 police boot. The Bates GX-8 boot is one of newest police boots made by Bates footwear. It features a side zipper, 8” height, Gore Tex uppers, Ultra-lites outsole, full grain leather and ballistic nylon uppers, and fully removable comfort insoles. The Bates GX-8 are available in a safety toe version and non safety toe version. We have found these boots some of our local police equipment stores in the area of $125.00.
As soon as we figure out which pair of Bates footwear we buy, you can bet that we will post a review on it!
