For a functional, comfortable and lightweight duty shoe with the shine and professional appearance required for on-duty work, Bates offers the High Gloss Duty Oxford. Built on a rugged, slip-resistant rubber outsole found in other Bates tactical boots, these oxfords are durable and long lasting. The athletic cement construction provides much-needed comfort when standing or walking for extended periods of time. A cushioned, removable insole offers added comfort and the breathable inner lining keeps feet dry and cool. The most critical component to any uniform shoe is the shine, which Bates ensures with the high-gloss poromeric upper. It not only shines, but is also as durable and tough as your favorite Bates boot.

I bought these to wear as dress shoes because I usually find dress shoes uncomfortable. These fit the bill nicely. While they are not QUITE as comfortable as athletic shoes, they come pretty darn close. I have worn them for a full day at a time and have no complaints whatever. The shine appears that it will last a long time which is another plus.

I wore them at inspections in the service and I am now on the honor guard for the VFW and they look sharp when we are doing honors for our fallen hero's

Finally gave in and ordered the high gloss for occasions when I'm wearing Class A uniform. I also ordered a Bates 4" Code six in the same size, but the high gloss seem to be tighter, perhaps because the leather is stiffer. Otherwise I'd have given 5 stars.

I had the honor of marching in the Tournament of Roses Parade this year with the USAF Total Force Band and needed a good pair of corps frams. These definitely did the job! They keep my feet from hurting even after a 6 mile march.

After a long search I chose the Bates High Gloss Duty Oxford. Totally happy with my choice. They look sharp and most importantly the feel pretty darn comfortable. Thanks for your fast service, I will be back for sure.

Great Price, fast delivery, true to size, well constructed and lite weight. Often imitated but never duplicated. 25 year of public service as well as the military that first introduced the Bates brand. I have tried some of the new kids that have come out but Bates have never disappointed. This was the best price I have ever paid for Bates quality shoes. Bates the Class A shoe that has evolved to fit your professional need.

Shoes arrived very quickly; within a few days of the order. Shoes are comfortable and easy to wear throughout the day. Everyone who notices my shoes salute me; thinking I am an officer! ;-D

Comfortable and fits good. These shoes are a great buy. The price is much lower than other places I’ve bought from. I’ve purchased 4 pair from this company.

I used to wear similar Bates while in military school. I forgot how comfortable these shoes were along with their aesthetics. Amazing quality to say the least.
