Bates Sentry is a sub-line (model name) of Bates, a U.S.-origin footwear brand for uniforms. Its parent brand, Bates, was founded in 1885 by Andrew J. Bates and is based in the United States, focusing mainly on shoes for military, police, and other uniforms. Sentry refers mainly to formal dress shoes such as high-gloss oxfords, sold as models intended for uniform-wearing occasions such as ceremonies and formal attire.
Concept
Bates’ purpose is to serve and partner with the men and women who risk their lives to protect our communities. We thread tactical and durability into every pattern.
