Bates Delta-8 Boots - Black
Black tactical boots engineered with advanced and proven technologies. The high upper combines premium natural leather with tough Ballistic Nylon, ensuring durability and resilience. This model meets the European standard EN ISO 20347, guaranteeing performance in demanding conditions.
non-slip sole with deep tread and ladder grip
The non-slip sole, resistant to both oils and acids, ensures stable footing in diverse terrains. It is equipped with a deep, self-cleaning tread featuring a ladder grip, which, together with ergonomic profiling, delivers outstanding traction on various surfaces.
Designed with slip-resistant materials, the sole passed the rigorous SATRA WTM 144 test. Additional reinforcements at the toe and heel provide effective protection against impacts, enhancing durability and safety.

ICS insole, Enforcer Series Ultra-Lites technology
These boots feature the innovative iCS insole (Individual Comfort System), which incorporates gel inserts in the forefoot and heel areas. This allows users to adjust the insole’s hardness, tailoring the boots to different terrain types. Thanks to the advanced Enforcer Series Ultra-Lites technology developed by Bates, each boot weighs just 703 grams, providing a lightweight yet robust design.

Quick lacing, ykk locks, no metal parts
Each boot comes with seven pairs of reinforced lacing holes for secure fastening, as well as a side YKK zipper for quick donning and improved ventilation. The zippers are built for durability and ease of use.
Designed without any metal components, this model is ideal for use in environments such as airports or other areas where magnetic gates are present, offering convenience and compliance with security protocols.

Grain leather shoes care and waterproofing
Grain leather shoes require regular care to maintain their durability, flexibility and aesthetic appearance. It is crucial to take good care of the upper by cleaning it and using appropriate waterproofing and shoe maintenance products. Remember that the waterproofing of grain leather is different from the one used for nubuck or suede, because standard spray waterproofing products are poorly absorbed into its surface. Pastes, waxes, greases and creams are more effective, as they protect against moisture, nourish the leather, prevent it from drying out and cracking, and restore elasticity and color. Protect the inside with a shoe deodorizer to prevent unpleasant odors.

Rate80%Delta 8 ZIP are the nicest tactical boots. They are extremely lightweight and comfortable - the leg took about 2 weeks to get used to. After a year and a half they wore out above the heels and the gel plugs broke. I wrote to the Polish distributor of Bates for a replacement for the ICS system, but was pounced upon. A cobbler sewed reinforcements inside and my brother and I flooded the plugs with silicone. To this I added Sulpo insoles, due to heel spurs recoil. Currently, the shoes are more comfortable than new. I hope they will serve a few more years.

Rate100%After less than a month of use, definitely on the plus side! Wearing comfort is incomparable. For the first couple of days, they had to mold to the foot, but after that they ''re walking'' by themselves. The ability to adjust the hardness of the insole is a great convenience and adapt to the terrain in which they will be used, time will tell how long they will last, for now I am of good opinion. I recommend !

Rate80%The sizing is specific. My size shoe is good in width and a tad too long, and the size -1 shoe is good in length but tight overall. My typical size, however, is very good with a double sock.
So far, the boots have been through one longer hike through non-elevated mountains, in easy and wet terrain - about 17 km. I am a little concerned about the quality. The insole, composed of several elements, has already delaminated during this first trip. The layer that fell off is admittedly under the main insole and pressed down with it, so it does not affect any inconvenience, except that when removing and inserting the separate elements you have to fit them in the shoe each time. The feature with changing the softness of the shoe I have not tested. Between the leather and the sole, at the bends, small cracks have formed in several places. I hope they won't get bigger, but I'll let you know in a while.
Other than these comments, I find that the shoe is very comfortable. My trip ended without any chafing or other surprises, although I didn't have time to unlace the shoe. Ventilation for normal walking is sufficient - my legs did not get sweaty, although I have a slight tendency to do so.
The leather is not of some extraordinary quality, but I like how, despite the deformation during the hike, it returned to its initial cut after I cleaned it, conditioned it and let it rest for one day. If it weren't for the small cracks mentioned above, it would look like new.
Of special note is the zipper, which is mega comfortable.
Overall, I rate the shoes very good when it comes to comfort, and when it comes to quality - sufficient. So for now, the rating is 4*. I will try to let you know after a longer period of use.G...,

Rate100%Shoes very comfortable, very well made, ideal for everyday use. The insole is an interesting thing, but performs very well, although the adjustment ranges a little colored :) but it is comfortable. The zipper makes it very easy to put on, and once someone buys such shoes will never again buy only laced. Overall 5 out of 5. And I have endured some tactical boots in my life.

Rate100%These shoes are brilliant. In truth I love them. For the mountains, off-road. The sole is anti-slip. Comfortable, waterproof. Although for summer too hot. For the autumn and spring season perfect.
