Boot History

Bates® partnered with the United States Army Special Forces Command to develop the Recondo and received performance feedback after the 75th Ranger Regiment tested them in Central America during the winter of 2014. Named for the Reconnaissance and Commando Training Course developed in the 1950s at Fort Campbell, the Recondo meets the need for a Berry Compliant jungle/tropical combat boot for today’s warfighters and peacekeepers.
