I have a pair of Bates (not that model). Good boots & well made. I use them for RWI Courses (when its not cold).

I have seen some bates on LApolice gear for $50 or under. Plus they run special and discount codes all the time.

only bates I've had are the extreme cold boots with the insert booties. I usually wear the Belleville 310's
