COLORADO BOB Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Been looking for some new boots, and it seems that the Bates Boot would fill the bill, but they have around 30 different kinds. Sportsmansguide.com lists them all under Boots. They run from $59.95 up to around $150.00Was wondering how many of you wear them and how comfortable they are, right out of the box. Also how well do they wear?? [Durability]I am not interested in steel-toes and eyelets.Bob T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 The new style of boots DOC has for I think $79.00 are waterproof and real comfy. Made much better than the old style bates, and if you give him the right measurements they will fit perfect. I know I got a pair and my uncle just got some.

Guest Bunk Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I got a pair of " Detectors" from Wallmart for $20.00 that are pretty nice. No metal at all in them. They are made by Brama.Bunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted January 10, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hello Colorado Bob, I'm partial to the Bates Boots. I've been through about 6 pairs in the last 5 years or so. I get a good 6+ months out of one pair, but I'm hard as hell on them. The Bates Boots are comfortable, have great traction and have absolutely no metal. I've seen people order the Bates from a few online stores for a bit cheaper, but heard one person had a problem with the size and it took 6 weeks to get another pair. If this happens with Doc, it takes about 3 days, no BS. You might pay an additional $10 or so, but the service is worth it in my opinion. Just order them directly from Doc.

Uncle Ron Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hey Bob...I just got my new boots in yesterday, the Magnum Stealth II and I think I'm going to like them...Mike K. turned me on to the Stealth boots years ago and I've had half a dozen pairs...No metal and very comfy...I wish they made them in tan but I'm sure Ill have these worn out before the hot weather starts....Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
