Great boots so far, could use a better insole.
So far so good! I've had them for about 3 months now and they're still holding up great. I wear them daily for work. My only complaint would be the Insoles, they could be a little more supportive. Alot of people complained about them rubbing real bad when they first got them, but I've never had a good pair of boots that didn't have a breakin period. They were very tight on the ankles and heels at first, but I just wore them for about 2 hours a day and then switched back to my old ones when they would start to rub too bad. By the end of the second week I had no more issues. They still fit like regular boots unlike the Reebok side zips which are too puffy and look like moon boots. My reeboks fell apart in 3 weeks, these have shown no real signs of wear.

My favorite mil boots
I've been buying these exact pair for over 10yrs. They're that good. They fit great, break in fast, last a long time, light weight, easy and fast to get into and out of, not too hot in the summer, the toe is strong... and I wear them hard as a flight line mechanic. The only gripe I have is that the velcro doesn't last as long as other brands.

Fits well but h here's a tip
This boot takes about 2 weeks to break in. Recommend soaking until fully wet then just put on until dry of you have a nontypical foot. Stay at home that day. Otherwise they fit as expected for military non-issue boots. Get insoles.

Save your feet and your money!
These are by far the most uncomfortable boots I have ever had the displeasure of putting on! I have worn work boots every day for the past 8 years without issue until I purchased these. Within 1 hour of wear, I was left with blisters on my left heel. Tops of my toes are raw from the ledge of the composite toe rubbing, heels and ankles are completely raw, and my leg is raw where the stitching at the top of the boots rub. Left zipper gets stuck at the midway point both when zipping and unzipping. I highly recommend you save your money and buy a different boot/brand!

Best Summer safety toe boots
I wanted a lightweight breathable safety toe boot and these are the best. The side zipper makes for easy off and on although you have to loosen the laces to some extent. It says they are not water resistant but I've hosed them off with no leakage and waded through a couple of inches of water. They do run a half size large which is good for thick crew sock. These are made by Belleville what has made army boots back to WW1

Nice boots but...
These boots are nice and very well made. I really like the side zip for easy/quick on and off. The only thing I don't like is the composite toe. It rubs on my big toes. I bought the wide size but the rubbing on my big toe is really uncomfortable. My son had a pair and had the same problem. Buying the socks which have extra cushioning in the toe almost eliminates the problem. Over all I would recommend buying these boots but just be aware that you may have a problem with the composite toe rubbing on the side of your big toes.

Not for me
First off I have owned other boots made by Belleville. My very first impression I got from these boots where cheaply made with cheap materials when I opened the box and grabbed them.Pros-i got the wide amd I had no issues with the toe area or the fit of the shoe at all. The tread was surprisingly good for the work I do. They are lightweight but not as lightweight as I thought they would be. I have owned other non light weight boots amd they weight the same as these.Con-super uncomfortable for me. I have never worn a Belleville that I thought was comfortable. I worn these boots for a few hours and the back of my ankle was starting to get rub raw, that was with double layer socks on. Zipping amd unzipping I could tell that they would not last on one boot due to it hitting the cheap leather on the inside of the boot when being unzipped. I feel that they are way over priced for how cheap they felt in my hand.If you buy these boots mew insoles arr going to be a must have. I did not wear them long enough to give a full review of the quality or how long these boots would last due to I returned cause they hurt my feet way to bad.

Good sturdy lightweight boots
I don't know why the other reviews said these were uncomfortable or made their feet hurt. They were wonderful for me. I am used to wearing tactical boots at work, I do a lot of walking and moving around. I was expecting them to take a few days to break in but after walking around for like 30 minutes at work, they fit like I had been wearing them for months. Very comfortable, they are also extremely light for composite toe boots. The composite toe does not bend into the top of the foot like some do. I wear these boots for usually around 14 hours a day and I haven't had an issue with them. I purchased multiple pairs of boots from a different brand and none of them fit right, the sizes were very inaccurate and often only went as low at 7.5 wide. It was great that theses boots have a very wide range of sizes and I was able to buy the correct size on my first order. Fairly true to size, maybe size down half a size if you want a very snug fit. I have recommended them to my coworkers because of the ease of wear and the value for the price. I would buy another pair when these wear out.
