Men's Belleville 390 DES

this was my first pair of boots and i got them for rookdom at norwich. so mostly garrison with some occasional field work with mcw. they lasted pretty well but it's clear they wont survive much past next semester if they survive this summer. the back strip that runs from the collar to the heal has come unstiched and almost detached. they didn't need to be broken in per say, but never quit fit right and i mostly just wearing them to class. held up well through some tests but not great.

If you need a narrow boot, here it is. Ordered one full size smaller and they Fit like a glove. No break-in required! Eighteen hours first day, right out of the box. I wouldn't try that with just any boot. Give your feet a treet, buy this boot.

Went on 3 and 4 mile hikes straight out of the box. One of the most comfortable boots I've worn. Would give it 5 stars if I'd owned them longer and could judge how they will hold up. They appear to be very well made. Easy to lace. I wear 8 1/2 is most shoes but the 8 fit perfect. Excellent boot at a decent price.

had these for years.. several different job were done in them and miles and miles of hiking. great boot.

These boots are great. Very comfortable so far. Look very sturdy and strong. Shipping is super fast. I ordered them on a monday, got an email on Wednesday that they had been shipped, and recieved them on Friday. Like it says, order one size down from your normal shoe size and they will fit perfect. Definitely recommend!!!

This is my 4th pair of the Belleville 390s. The ones that this pair replaced were well-used. I wore them through Ranger School, SFAS, RSLC, and other tactical courses before they finally broke beyond repair.

It says, order 1 size smaller than your size. That is what I did, and they fit perfect. Also out of the box, no break in, just go. Best boots ever. Order to recive was 3 days.

One pair of these boots survived all the seasons of Korea (in the mountains at Camp Casey) for two years straight, and are now tearing through the deserts of Fort Bliss. Great traction where ever I go, no hot spots when rucking, never had a blister with these things on, and they even hold up pretty well in the winter. Only thing I would improve is a bit more ankle support... All together a great boot though, 5 out of 5, no doubt worth every cent.

Great boots. I wear a 10 1/2 , but a 10 fits perfect. Ordered them on 19th , got them on the 21 st. Diffinetly will order Belleville boots in the future. Plus they are made in the USA!!!

These boots were recommended in 2003 by a 1SG who'd been in Iraq as the most durable and comfortable boots. After over 7 years of wearing these boots in both theaters of the GWoT I can definitely say that these are the most comfortable boots I've worn in over 20 years of service. The soles on these boots will outlast most of the competitors. I've replaced them only because when they get oil and grease on them they're unfit for garrison. Otherwise, I've worn out the soles on three pairs without having the sole separate from the boot or any kind of delamination or other problems associated with competitor's boots. As to comfort, these beat the heck out of the competition in helping to keep my feet cushioned against shock reducing heat transmission through the boot to the foot. About the only thing I'd wish for is a little more lateral stiffness to protect the ankle from torsion during airborne/Air Assault (particularly fast roping) operations. Another 'nice to have' would be reinforcements similar to those on the TR line of boots.

I wear a 10 1/5 regular boot; always have since my feet stopped growing. Bellevile boots, while outstanding, have always had a size problem. I wear a 10 in this boot. If you are ordering on-line try a half size smaller than you normally wear. No break in required and I wear them year round. On my third pair and still loving them.

Same as the 1SG said, right out of the box comfort, hell I'll do a pt test with a pair out of the box, on my 2nd pair as my first had seen a little too much and they are now my hunting boots. I recommend to all my joes and will recommend still further. SGT William James Abercrombie 17th POB (ABN) HSC

Straight out of the box, most comfortable boot I've worn in 30 years military service. No break-in time at all. Durable.
