The Bates Story. Founded in 1885 as a small dress footwear business, Bates has grown and flourished to become a leading footwear manufacturer for uniformed personnel today. In the 1960s, Bates fostering a sense of duty and to offer a more advanced footwear product for those who served, strategically focused on developing a dress shoe for the United States Navy. This focus led to the Navy Uniform Oxford and propelled Bates to develop styles for all branches of the United States Military. Leveraging the success with the dress footwear, Bates soon began developing high-performance military footwear, including boots, to meet the demands of uniformed personnel.

Today, Bates is one of the largest suppliers of footwear to the United States federal government, the Department of Defense, and public service and public safety professionals throughout the United States. Bates also outfits elite military organizations in more than sixty other countries.
