Bata offers quality footwear in latest styles. They have full range of formal shoes which have nice durability. Personally I have used Batas shoes, which are very comfortable and light weight.
In my opinion bata is common peoples brand because its shoes are strong and long lasting.
The only drawback is availability of showrooms in rural ares. Most of their showrooms are manly in cities. They have dealers network in rural area, where sometimes it is tough for customers to judge original product.
