Belleville Men's BV508ZCT 8" Hot Weather Lightweight Side-Zip Composite Safety Toe Boot

I normally wear the 5.11 speed 3.0 but they no longer make the model i liked.. Tried these and I am very pleased! They are lightweight, they breath really well, the upper section around my leg is a thin material like a soft canvas sock, not bulky or cushioned or hot. They are very comfortable. I wear them here in Hawaii for work, walking through mud, dirt, on concrete, gravel and in fresh concrete. They have the composite/ steel toe. I love them!

I would buy again.

The toe is wide and the boot is comfortable and light. Tried s several comp toe boots, but this one by far is the most comfortable spring/summer boot. Waterproofed it before using it and so far it is watertight.

Bought 2 pair with a company boot voucher last year. Best work boot by far. Price went up, over voucher. Can't pay with 2 different cards on Amazon, had to go with different brand, not liking new brand.

What can I say, you get what you pay for. When you don't want to pay $300-$400 for a pair of boots, they don't last as long. I have been wearing these boots less than 1 year and so far they have covered my feet and nothing has broken, but the sole has worn incredibly fast. The material has started to fleck and deteriorate much faster than I would like. I estimate they are 1-1.5 year boots for light use, far less for heavy, outdoor work. Just learn the lesson that every man has to learn eventually and buy a good pair of red wings or something.

Wore plenty of Bells back in the days of the Black Boot Army, and transition to the browns. But in the past 6 years every pair of any style 330s 551s 300s, etc, have had serious defects, ( heel cup badly formed, stitching falling out after 2 weeks, ridiculous size inaccuracy, clown shoe toe box, mismatched lace holes, or in the case of the C 312 ST, the laces were impossible to use, as each row locked as you laced them up,they where really slow lace, not speed lace). Maybe the commercial boots are defects. The only pair that were good , where a set directly from Belleville ,those were US made, that replaced a pair that the stitching fell out of in 2 weeks. . Every other pair has been from Bangladesh or Vietnam. Plainly shoes must be different there.

Comfortable, that’s about it. Picture speaks for itself. No option to get a refund or return, must be just passed the window. Pretty annoying since I spent a pretty penny on these. Can’t recommended until I hear from the manufacturer to see if they can right this.

Belleville use to be a quality brand. That’s gone out the window.
