OfficerStore, an online source for law enforcement professionals, now proudly features two styles of the brand-new Bates Strike Boot: a six-inch pair and an eight-inch pair. Featuring the Endurance Performance System, Bates anti-fatigue footwear is designed to deliver the comfort you want coupled with the durability you need.

“By far, these are the best boots we’ve had in the past five years,” according to Bates Account Representative Brian Hoerner. “They are the most comfortable and well-designed,” he said.

The waterproof, breathable boots range in size from seven to 15, and each size offers a number of useful perks, including:

  • Dual-density footbed with memory foam that provides arch support and cushion

  • Dual-density EVA midsole that mitigates shock and redistributes pressure for lasting comfort

  • Insole with nylon shank that adds support and stability

  • Slip-resistant, long-wearing, durable rubber outsole with multi-terrain design for traction and stability

  • Side zipper

  • Cement construction

“I expect these boots to be big sellers,” Hoerner said.
