Endless Endurance
It’s not easy to create footwear that keeps the elements out while letting fresh air circulate, but Bates has risen to the challenge with the debut of its Strike line. Coming in April, these waterproof, highly durable boots are also breathable and comfortable enough for all-day wear thanks to the newly developed Endurance Performance System. The four-part technology consists of a slip-resistant, multi-terrain rubber lug outsole; a nylon shank adding support and stability; a dual-density EVA midsole that absorbs shocks and redistributes pressure; and a dual-density memory-foam footbed for ultimate arch support and cushioning. Available in 6- and 8-inch versions, the Strike Boot is designed to stop foot fatigue in its tracks while keeping wearers safe, dry and looking sharp.
