Reviews of Bates Men's Lites E00078 Chukka Work Shoe

Customer Ratings:

At first I really liked these shoes; they were comfortable, seemingly durable, and the soles were softer than the average bates dress shoe. However, after about 6 months of continuous every-day wear, the heel part of the right shoe's sole began hollowing out, meaning the outer layer still existed but the inside material wore away leaving the shoes un-even to walk on. Also, when walking in wet weather, the sole fills with water. Not good. Overall, I would not buy these if you plan on using them for an everyday uniform work shoe.

Switched back from patent leather to genuine leather not as flashy but look good for a long time after patent gets trashed. Takes a little bit of old school shoe polishing skills! Comfortable once broken in and the padded collar prevents pressure points at the ankle

I bought these shoes for my husband. At first, he thought the shoe look like cheap material and wanted me to return the shoe. But he put the shoes on and loves the fit. I think the shoes look quite nice on him. I can hardly get him to take the shoes off.

Honest reviews on Bates Men's Lites E00078 Chukka Work Shoe

I bought these maybe 4 or 5 years ago, because I have bad knees. Yes, I need a new pair and am hoping the price goes down. But, after all these years of "daily" wearing(including 3 years on the concrete floor of a retail giant) , these shoes are still in good shape, comfortable on my feet, comfortable to walk in, and my bad knees love them. The cushioned ankle top is great, as it doesn't rub. As far as I'm concerned, this is my shoe for life, and I'm in my 40's.
