Belleville Mini-Mil TR105 Tactical Boots for Men - Zero Drop Boots - Slip-Resistant Military Footwear - Breathable Desert Style - Full-Grain Cattlehide Leather - Soft-Toe Design

If you are looking for this style of boot, they are perfect. Ive been wearing these every single day for two months and they are my favorite pear of boots I’ve ever owned. Having said that, I believe that most of the negative reviews are from people that didn’t really understand what they bought. So I am going to offer a couple of warnings: 1) The are MINIMALIST tactical boots, with an emphasis on MINIMALIST. These are not full duty boots that are going to offer the most protection and arch support, etc. These are designed to be light weight boots that do not feel like a heavy traditional boot. So, they are made of light, thinner material with a light thinner sole. They are supposed to feel more like casual shoes than big heavy tactical boots. If you don’t know what minimalist shoes are you need to research before buying these. They fit that description perfectly and are excellent minimalist boots. They are lightweight, breathable and they feel almost like athletic shoes to wear. However they are still very sturdy and made of tough material so they offer good protection as well. IMO they are the perfect boot for hot weather if you don’t need super protective boots. But if you are looking for steel toed, very tough protective tactical boots with a huge thick sole THESE ARE NOT FOR YOU. 2) There is a wear in period for these boots! Most of the negative reviews have to do with the fact that the material in the heal and above the heal can be uncomfortable. I am convinced that these people did not wear the boot past the wear in period or they got a size that was too small. It took about 1-2 weeks of wearing these boots before they fit perfectly. The heal area can be a bit uncomfortable at first, but I assure you if you wear them in they are extremely comfortable. I would suggest investing in a very thick, soft sock to help you through the wear in period. Honestly it wasn’t bad for me at all in the beginning. I wore a thick sock and had no pain. I could tell they weren’t broken in yet, but they didn’t kill me like others have suggested. Now that they are worn in the feel like basketball shoes almost, they are that comfortable. They have molded perfectly to my feet and I couldn’t be happier. I would definitely research minimalist shoes before buying, and understand that you will have to wear them in before they mold you your feet. They really are incredibly good boots. But they are not traditional military boots. You need to understand what you are buying before you commit.

I have a very hard time finding shoes to fit my feet. I have a 10.5 length and a 15 width. These boots have been hiking, biking, walking, motorcycling and welding. They’re not waterproof, but they’re not supposed to be. I like the vents. Even in the winter- wool socks… The material is flexible enough let my feet expand in the shoe and out over the edge of the sole. Especially after getting them wet and wearing them while they dried. I truly need a EEEEEEEEEE (E10) width- and that’s just too hard to find. They broke in nicely. I’ve plasma cut, oxy-cut and welded all processes in them. They only have little burns, handled the sparks, flames, and slag like a pro. Good tread, good fit, and no tall heel. I really only wear minimalist shoes and boots, these felt great in that respect. While the fit is good, there is an issue with the heel, where the cordura meets the sole. I use one thin strip of moleskin, 1/2" wide, run vertically- just long enough to cover the area, maybe 3 inches tall- and it works perfectly. I pre-cut two more strips to have on hand, but they really don’t need replacement often, maybe twice a year. The back up strips just hang out in my bag. Felt like my army boots without the clunky heel and far lighter, to boot (pun intended). Will buy again. May these never go out of production!

4 stars only because of a couple of cons, otherwise these are great boots! Pros: Very well made. I've worn these for quite a few months now and the sole is still as firmly attached to the boot as when new (unlike Xero brand boots). After some break in, these are some of the most comfiortable and lightweight boots I've owned. I came from about 3 years of wearing Xero shoes boots, with zero drop. These feel basically exactly like the zero drop shoes I was used to. I really like the quick lace design and extra long laces. Very easy on and off shoes. Cons: The sizes aren't correct. I wear a 12 normally, and had to return the 12's in exchange for 13's. The 13's fit well, just slightly too loose. A 12 1/2" size would seem to be perfect if they offered it. The inside of the shoes are rough around the heel support, as there is no liner of any kind. On one shoe I had to cut a big self adheasive oval of felt to place inside over the right side heel support area. It was digging a hole in my ankle bone on the right side. Once the shoe got broken in well, the problem is gone now.

I picked these up to have something for my light-duty days. There's no reason to lose the comfort and functionality of zero drop shoes when you have to lace up the boots. These are durable, light weight, and high quality. Fix your feet!

My military husband loves these boots. Quick delivery! Thanks!

the wheels on the shoes goes round and round. the wheels are hidden under the heels of the boots and it gives a quick getaway when my squad gets into trouble wuth my sarge

They feel like gloves on the feet, not sure what people are talking about breaking in, they are comfy right away. They are light and seem to regulate foot temperature well (again too early to tell). The build quality seems there but we shall see. Will update in 6 months. Only point is the laces would use lace sleeve at the top of the boot tongue.

Awesome minimalists Boots for those who like to feel more from there feet.

I wear a meryl vapor glove size 9.5, and these @ size 9.5 fit about the same so i don't know why the reviews on size are all over the board. they fit to size for me anyway. good toe room. i can tell they will need to be broken in well. time will tell for the durability.
