first off these boots are great. i ordered the 3XL which is really a double, however they fit very well, i have a 13EEEE left foot, and they fit! they are very light, i use them for both walking my dog here in MI, and riding my motorcyle, they work well for both, and they are very breathable. they are not waterproof.
These are not the side zip boots! i think the reviewer above placed his in the wrong spot.
These boots are made by Wolverine, out of Rockford, MI (suburb of Grand Rpaids). They make all the expensive and high qaulity wolverine work boots, and they have a large military contract as well. Great boots made in the US!!!

These are spectacular boots for anyone in the law enforcement, corrections, or EMS field. I work at a detention center in Virginia and needed a sturdy pair of boots that provided a lot of ankle support since we are often running around tight corners when responding to emergency situations. That's why I opted for the 8" uppers.
I have owned these boots for almost a year and a half now and they have exceeded every expectation. The first week or two wearing them they were still pretty stiff and hurt my feet but after they were broken in, it felt like I wasn't wearing anything at all. The provide the much-needed ankle support for running around sharp corners. They are extremely durable yet still lightweight and don't impede movement
They are actually genuine leather and hold a shine pretty well (unlike other fake leather boots where the "leather" peels off after they get wet a few times).
For the price, these are an amazing buy. If/when they finally do wear out and become unusable, I will most definitely buy another pair.
I cannot say enough positive about these.
***UPDATE*** Approximately 3 YEARS after writing the above review, the same pair of boots are still going strong. In fact, I'm wearing them now. I'm about to purchase another pair b/c the sole is starting to show it's age. But I'll definitely be holding onto these as a back-up. And you better believe I'm getting another pair of Bates boots. I really hope to have the same experience the second time around.

I use these boots for my beach boot camp workouts on Fort Lauderdale Beach. Whether rain or shine, these boots hold up great!
