The picture should show the location for the supposed Gore tex plate, or Bates website should show it better:

Seems you got the "special edition." May I know how much you spent for those?
That self-locking feature is a great innovation IMHO, that'd definitely aid me tightening my boots lace in the dark at 5:30am....something I'm still really slow at.
Roller skates (esp. Hypno) have had that feature for years, 'bout time for the boot industry to catch up. |
Ha ha - buddy, handshakes work just fine for me.
OK - I see what you mean by the plate. These boots are not Gore-Tex boots, they are meant to be used in the desert and jungle and are extremly breathable and quick drying.
How much did I spend - OK, you may feel bad about this one. They were giving them away to us at the Shot Show - we just had to promise to beat them up and evaluate them for Bates. Yeah - in reality that's why I went SF, for the chick and gear
