Bates shoes

[PA44Jockey]

Just curious as to which ones come with the most comfort.

I know the lites aren't bad, but was curious to hear from someone with the Durashocks. Comfortable?

 

[Mr Wu]

I wear the Master. They have a special deal for pilots. Ask the salesperson.

 

[PA44Jockey]

Is that another type of bates shoe? What is different about it?

 

[GuppyWN]

Buy Eccos. I can't kill mine after 2 years and I don't beep.

Gup

There a bit more expensive but I really enjoy my Ariat boots. They look great, feel amazing, and have all composite shanks, so no beeps.

It is! It's a stiff shoe. Just ask the salesman for it.

 

[Mr Wu]

Yes. That's it. The one that is lined with velvet is the most comfortable.

 

[OnTheRocks]

do you prefer gay, or confused?

 

[Tarzan]

Ecco's.

I third Eccos.

Don't let the initial price fool you, they are expensive but last forever. They also feel like you are walking in sneakers instead of business shoes.
