About this product
These Bates TEMPERATE WEATHER - WATERPROOF COMBAT BOOTS are new old stock (NOS) for men, in a size 2.5 XW and a tan color. Manufactured in the United States, they feature a round toe, lace-up closure, and a Vibram outsole. The upper material is a blend of synthetic and leather, with a key feature being their waterproof design, suitable for temperate weather and workwear occasions.
Our take
These Bates combat boots stand out for their explicit waterproof feature and Vibram outsole, which are crucial for reliability in varied conditions. The combination of synthetic and leather in the upper material suggests a balance of durability and comfort, ideal for temperate weather. Being US-made and new old stock gives them a robust, no-nonsense appeal, perfect for workwear. The XW (extra wide) sizing is a great benefit for those needing more room. However, the size 2.5 is very small for a men's boot, significantly limiting its target audience. The tan color and combat style also lean heavily into utilitarian aesthetics.
