Bates Cobra 8” Hot Weather Boots

Combat boots. Men’s 7.5 wide / women’s 9 wide. Coyote brown boots, purchased Feb 2023, worn for a dozen walks under 2 miles, and an uphill treadmill ruck with 40 lbs for 45 minutes. Ultimately moved forward with a pair of Danner boots that were more expensive, because I switched from Army to Marines, and the Marines have a shorter list of approved boots (that require the EGA on the outside of the heel). I have a cat, and he has rubbed up against these boots several times, so they have some cat hair that didn’t come off with my initial pass of my lint roller. Also, please note the black (oil? Not sure) coloration on the front of both boots.
