Bates features the innovative Individual Comfort System (iCS) in their hard-working Delta-6 SZ boot. iCS is an adjustable disk in the midsole that allows for a customizable fit and optimal cushioning. It increases heel support, shock absorption, stability and ankle security, while reducing inward and outward tilt for a more natural, comfortable gait. The cement construction and athletic fit offered by the heavy-duty leather and ballistic nylon upper is ideal for jobs that require standing or walking for extended periods of time. A slip-resistant rubber outsole provides superior traction on any surface and grips well in wet conditions. The interior mesh lining ensures a cool dry environment for maximum breathability when in motion or at rest. The boot also features a side zipper for convenience.

Wore a pair of Delta-6 boots on duty for five years. Liked them a lot. Replaced them with these and felt really let down. Leather is thinner, the heel is taller and the side zip has much less protection inside. Just a simple, narrow flap. Price point is the same, just lower quality.

When I first started in Corrections I purchased the 8ā€ Delta Bates boot. Never had aches or discomfort on those concrete floors. Wore them through my probation career and finally bought the 6ā€ version so I could have a backup ankle weapon. Love these boots!!!

So far Iā€™m liking these boots. The first two days of wearing them my feet and ankles hurt but by the third day everything was great. I wear them nearly every day to work and they are comfortable for me.

Took a chance on giving these boots a try, needless to say I was not disappointed. I am on my feet for well over ten hours a day, concrete and hard tile floors, long story short my feet dont ache any more after a long week of hard work.
I enjoy these boots so much I dont want to take them off, only down side is they are not made in the USA.

I usually need a break-in period for my new shoes/boots, but after about 2 days these were good to go. Comfortable right out of the box. I walk on concrete all day, these stand up to the task for me.Very good quality boot. Lives up to the Bates reputation.

Tried several other brands that all fell short of the quality and style of the Bates Delta-6 SZ. Very secure on wet surfaces and super comfortable not to mention the compliments received from coworkers on design.
