I served on active duty in the Infantry and in the Reserves as an MP, 13 years total, been a cop for the past 14 years. A year before getting off of active duty a friend recommended Bellevilles. I had been through about six different brands of boots before trying Bellevilles. I have a long narrow foot and these boots were sent from God. As God sent Gortex to the Light Infantry, I figured these boots must have also come from on high. I have several pair of Bellevilles, 390 DES, 700, 770, and one pair of 775s all have served me well and lasted forever. I still have my first pair of 700s, been resoled at least three times. It never gets cold in Texas and the 700s keep my feet dry in the summer and comfortable when it is 40 degrees out. I have recommended these boots several times and will continue to buy them in the future. Great Boot!!

all I can say is that the military boot sure has changed since I was drafted in the army back in 1970. I needed a motorcycle boot in my size. I have a very wide foot (4E) so finding boots is always a challenge. I agree with the companies recommendation on ordering a half size smaller , as I usually take a size 12 but went with the majority and ordered a 11.5 , they fit perfectly and I can tell when they get broken in they will be even more room . the quality is topnotch and I love that they give you two pairs of laces, nice touch wish all footwear companies did that.

Great shoe. I first purchased a 13 X wide several years ago when I was in security. I knew that was to large; so, I then purchased a 12.5 XW. I quit security work & dropped 20 lbs. Then the 12.5 felt too long and loose. So, I recently purchased this pair of 12.0 W. They are too loose also. Since they have a wide toe box there also is plenty across the toes. The toe box appears to be wider than the previous ones I purchased. Since my foot truly measures a 2E width, I am going to stay with W width and just a few minutes ago I ordered my forth pair trying to get the fit right. I ordered size 11.5 W this time. I am hoping the ankle is just a little tighter. Order#404567. It would be nice if you would give a discount credit towards this recent purchase of my forth pair. Your original question was do I like the shoe? YES! I take it to the gym to do my squats. It is well balanced with excellent support. It is good on pavement and in the snow. I think that once I the size correct this is the boot for me because it does not squeeze my toes like other boots do. Hopefully I will be good on the size 11.5 W. If so, I will probably buy a summer boot. Would you kindly send a discount code certificate. 13XW given to charity, so there is one happy camper. The 12.5 is next to go to charity, there will be another happy camper soon. I have to wear a thick sock to make the 12W sort of work. that's good for cold weather. I said to myself, you know these shoes are cut big so I wonder if the D medium width is really a single E width? If I purchased a 11.5 medium would that do the trick or would that bind my toes up. Would you comment on that. The shoes looks smart. Wide feet/narrow ankles, 5'-10", 200 lb. Army Vet.

I had high hopes when I ordered these because I can't find wide boots in my size anywhere else. These are good durable boots too, but only if you have a narrow foot. I wear a size 7 womens / 5 mens. I also have a foot width of EEE. So, I ordered these Belleville 700 boots a half size down as suggested. I ordered a 4.5 Extra Wide. The length was just about perfect, but I was shocked at how narrow these are. I thought they made a mistake and sent me narrow or regular width, so I checked the tags in the boots and they are 4.5XW. I took these to the shoe store and had them measured on the Brannock device. It turns out that the outside of the soles only measures a D width, so the inside must be about a C width I would guess. So, if you have a EEE width foot then your foot will be wider than the soles of the boot like mine. Now I don't want the expense or the hassle of sending these back so I am going to use my boot stretcher and stretch them the best I can. These fit about the same as my Bates brand D width boots. Belleville has a strange idea of extra wide because it certainly isn't EEEE as stated. Good quality, durable boots, just not for wide feet unfortunately.

The break in period is a little ruff due to there being so much material in the tongue of the boot but it softens up over time. My feet do not get hot like gortex lined boots I've worn in the past. They seem to be built pretty tough. Belleville hasn't let me down yet. I wouldn't go a whole size smaller when ordering another pair maybe a half size. I ordered the same size as my desert steel toed Bellevilles, and they seem to be breaking in just right. At first I was worried they would be too tight but the are now a little bit more roomy.

Ordered a half size down and it fits nice. I wish it didn't have stiching by the 4th eyelet. Feels like a 3mm rope. Working on different lacing techniques to minimize the slight ridge. Not very noticable except for putting on or off. Overall, good boot (Danners ran tight, these have a nice width), gortex may not be the best weight for summer, but I wanted waterproofing. I would like to try these in the hot temp weight. The sole is like two inches. I am taller than my nephew with these on 😀

I don't know if my boots are this model but they fit the description spot on. Maybe my boots are a fluke or maybe they are still good boots because I don't wear them everyday but I'm guessing that my boots are a testament to the quality of Belleville boots in general?
I was issued my boots while I was serving in the Marine Corps in 1998. All I've had to do is change the insoles a few times and they are still going strong. I don't think poor quality boots would still be holding together for this long. When the sole wears away I plan on resoling them and keep wearing them.
I've had my expensive gore-tex hiking boots fall apart and start leaking after 2 years of wear. My Belleville boots don't leak and are not falling apart and I have had them about 14 years. Keep in mind I wore them from 1998 to when I got out in late 1999 everyday serving in Marine Corps Infantry and then here and there for 13 years. I don't plan on replacing them any time soon.

This is my 3rd pair of Belleville boots. They are absolutely one of the best boots out there. There is almost no break in period and they hold up better than any other boot I've owned. This particular model is waterproof and they stay waterproof through out their life. Also they are made in the USA so that is a big plus.
The quality is always excellent. I highly recommend Belleville boots. As others have said they do run big so plan to order a half size smaller.

I've been wearing Belleville boots for about 20 years now. This is my third pair. Somewhere down the line, they decided to put a horizontal seam in the tongue with a lot of excess material on the inside. That material rides midway up the top of the foot and is surprisingly painful. I've been trying and trying to just break them in, but to no avail. If I could return them, I would.

I work in heavy industry, and I used to buy cheap boots because they lasted no less time than other more expensive boots made in China. An Air Force buddy of mine harped on me for 6 months to buy a pair of bellville boots and i wouldn't listen, so he bought them for me.
One year later they are still waterproof and the shell is holding up well. I'm actually starting to wear the sole completely off at around 2500 miles according to my pedometer!
3-4 months out of a competitors boot, or 1yr plus out of these. you choose.
Oh, by the way, my first thought when I put them on the first time: Holy arch support, batman! These things are comfortable!
