Great fit! *by on Reviewed in the United States August 24, 2026* The perfect high gloss shoe if you wanted your shoes to shile without having to put in the hours of polishing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best uniform dress shoe *by on Reviewed in the United States August 9, 2026* These things are so comfy compared to the standard dress shoes that go along with military uniforms. Mine have held up very well and look great too. I have arch and generally painful feet, but I can stand in formation with these babies on for much longer than I could with the other brands I had, which hurt like hell to wear for longer than an hour. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Corframs are for Corframing *by on Reviewed in the United States June 29, 2024* I am former military and I had a formal event to attend. ( Black tie). My only reference being my military formal wear standards. So these were my go to for foot wear. I skipped the fragile and dainty looking tuxedo formal wear shoes for men for this option.Fit - I ordered the wide width. The fit my foot well. Toe box did not give me any issues. I sure them for about 10 hours.Sole - The sole was a bit thicker than what I remember lites having when I was active duty. But I appreciate that. I've gained weight since then, the extra weight absorption is a plusInsole - I ditched the one that came with it and added the most expensive Dr. Scholls. I do that with all my foot wear. My experience was with our a hitch or foot pain after 10 hours of wear. The one that comes with it is decentMaterial - The are patent leather corframs. If your buying these chances are that doesn't need explanationBuild/construction - There are other brands of this style and type of foot wear out there. This brand is the standard for issue and wear by the Navy and Marines and that is good enough for me.Would I buy again? - Hopefully I will never have to. But if I did, YES I would buy them again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bates Men's High Gloss Duty Work Shoe - Thorogood Men's and Women's Black Poromeric Uniform Oxford Dress Shoes - Propper Men's Uniform Dress Oxford --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/1602598-bates-mens-high-gloss-duty-work-shoe](https://www.desertcart.no/products/1602598-bates-mens-high-gloss-duty-work-shoe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
