Whilst toiling away on my BL research, I ran across some boots that are a pretty good stand in for the Bates "Strike" models.
Originally, I was thinking that if I could not find the exact boots, I might buy some close enough and buy silicone beeswax/hexagon shaped material and e6000 epoxy it on the sides of the boots. Meh.... could work.
Then I ran across the Merrell Moab series.
I'm not sure if anyone has shared this yet, as I have not seen it but perhaps I am late to the party and didn't see the thread.
The models you want to look at are the Moab 2 and Moab 3 "Tactical Response 8" Waterproof Side Zip" models. There is another Moab model that has a really funky toe that is not like the Strike model.
I have attached pictures so you can see.
Happy hunting!
