So here is what I mean when say it took some work. When I for relieved these boots, I fell in love with there looks. But the moment I picked them up I knew it was going to take weeks of walking in them to get them as soft as I would like. The leather the boots are made of, granted nice, is also very hard. I believe that's the nature of paratrooper style boots, since they are more for show at this point then anything. I did not want to kill my feet waiting for a break in, so I decided to go to town on these bad boys and try to speed up the process. The main thing that helped these get a soft as I wanted was adding neastfoot oil to them over a period of a few days. After a coat at night, by morning I would walk in them. Then again at night another coat, an again take them for a walk in the morning. After a few days and coats of the oil, these boots fit me like a glove. After all the oil treatments, I gave these a good cleaning, then a hell of a polishing. They take a shine like no ones business... A little parade gloss on the tips and back, and black polishes everywhere else, and you can blind a person they shine so hard. I get people asking me about these all the time. I'm in EMS but I get cops stopping me at the ERs all the time to look at them, then it become a shoe shine tips and tricks trade off conversation. Also believe it or not a lot of the nurses love them... I think they just like things that shine and are easily distracted, maybe they just like a clean cut looking guy... Just maybe. Sadly today's standards in EMS appearance has basically depleted to null. It's basically cooler to look like a slob, and give that... I don't care look. But that's okay because when that rare medic walks in looking sharp, it stands out. Obviously coupled with being on your game and knowing your stuff helps a lot also. I have added a picture of some of my shining supply's, figured it might help people. Remember people, they say the Shoes, the Shine, and the shave, make the man... These will definitely deliver the shine. (So long as your treat them well) Review: Great for the price - Uncomfortable at first as you’re breaking them in but after a couple weeks of consistent wearing, they are excellent. I love them. High quality and durable, been wearing them nonstop for work. I do private security and they get the job done. The sizing was perfect I wear 11.5 and they don’t weigh too much. The zipper quality is good too and protected by a button flap additionally. Also noticed they have excellent non slip capability. A good bonus. ## Features - Durable Leather Upper with a Polishable Toe - Cushioned Removable Insert for Added Comfort - Nylon Side Zipper for Easy On and Off ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000G5TDIY | | Boot Form Type | Chukka | | Brand | Bates | | Closure Type | Snaps, Zipper and Lace-up | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,626 Reviews | | Embellishment Feature | Zipper | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00018473706138 | | Heel Type | Block Heel | | Insole Material | Manmade | | Item Type Name | Boot | | Item Weight | 2.2 Ounces | | Lining Description | Synthetic | | Manufacturer | Bates Tactical Footwear | | Material Type | Leather, Rubber | | Model Name | Paratrooper | | Model number | ENFORCER 11" PARATROOPER-M | | Occasion | Earth Day | | Outer Material Type | Leather | | Pattern | Solid | | Season | Spring/Summer | | Shaft Height | 11 Inches | | Shoe Height Map | Ankle-High | | Sole Material | Rubber | | Style Name | Paratrooper | | Subject Character | barbie | | Toe Style | soft toe | | UPC | 018473706138 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Images ![Bates Men's 11" Paratrooper Side Zip Boot - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xT6fdVOqL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Took some work, but I love them now. *by G***O on 15 March 2016* Took a little work but now I love them.
