Bates Men's Gx-8 GTX Insulated Side Zip Combat Boot,Black,10.5 M US Review

In my daily activities, I cover a wide variety of terrain types (urban, forest, snow, etc.). Thus, there are several features which I require in any pair of boots. These boots combine three of the most important of these features: (1) waterproof, (2) insulated, (3) breathable. Few combat boots have all three of these features.

The waterproofing is an especially useful feature. Besides obviously keeping my feet dry in rainy weather, it's useful in forest terrain where it allows me to walk right through streams and shallow rivers.

The Gore-Tex lining makes the boots breathable, which keeps your feet dry even after wearing the boots for long periods of time. The 200g Thinsulate insulation is pretty effective at keeping your feet warm, although in below-freezing conditions it's best to wear socks made of synthetic wool. (I've worn these boots for up to 8 hours at temperatures down to 10�F/-12�C, and they've performed quite well.)

Initially, I was skeptical of the side zipper. But it has turned out to be quite useful, at least when taking the boots off; when the boots are snugly laced-up, it's hard to put them on using the side zipper alone.

At first, these boots gave me minor blisters. But since I broke them in, they've been very comfortable - even when worn for upwards of 18 hours.

The one downside to these boots is that they lack a reinforced toe. (Cf. the related model, Bates� GX-8 Gore-Tex� Composite Safety - toe Boots)
