Administrative Account 7 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I have a pair of mens Bates Delta-8 boots in size [uK] 7 which are brand new and unworn (as they're too small for me... I bought the wrong size!) They're 8" and have a side zip to make them quick and easy to put on etc. They also have the 'individual comfort system' which is a bit that you can move inside the heel to change the cushioning of the sole... Here's what the retailer I got them from (for £100!) says: Full grain leather and ballistic nylon uppers. The Delta range feature the Bates Individual Comfort System Technology (ICS)- A breakthrough in advanced comfort technology that gives you the freedom to choose the setting that provides the most comfort and support for you. Breathable mesh liner Water Resistant Non-metallic, Security friendly - Undetectable in electronic security enviromnets. Footwear features non-metallic shank, hardware and construction Cement construction - Similar to athletic/running shoe construction, this method is lightweight and highly flexible Slip resistant - Has passed SATRA WTM144 test for slip resistance Side Zip - Allows for ease and speed taking or putting on footwear ICS - The products with this technology have a midsole containing a removable disk that can be rotated among four zones to control firmness, cushion, inward and outward stability. Firm Zone: Set the dial to F position to increase energy return Cushion Zone: Set the dial to the C position to increase shock absorption Inward Zone: Set the dial to the I position to reduce inward tilt and maximise natural walking motion and stability Outward Zone: Set the dial to the O position to reduce outward tilt and maximise natural walking motion and stability Here's a picture: According to Google Shopper the low end online price seems to be just under £80. Anyone want to make a sensible offer? Please feel free to PM so that I don't miss any posts in here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
