Belleville Chrome TR998Z WP CT 8” Waterproof Black Tactical Boots for Men with Zipper - Featuring Composite Safety Toe, BBP Membrane, and StreetNav Traction Outsole

2017 Update... Well these were fairly waterproof as I had hoped so yeah Still a 5 star boot! But unfortunately, they finally gave up the ghost. The upper separated from the sole on the left boot right where it creases at the toe when I kneel. Overall though they lasted WAYYY longer than I had anticipated and I really did beat on these boots. Bought them in February 2015 and I tossed them in March of 2017 so not a bad run for these boots! I will buy another pair. Great boots! They were a little painful the first few days but once that break in period was over, awesome! They are comfortable all day. I work in a correctional setting and I am on my feet all day on concrete, No more fatigue with these boots than I have had with any other. These are comfortable to run in too as that is an unfortunate necessity for my boots, I need to be able to run in them, No problem here. Another plus with these boots is that they are Security friendly. I must pass through a body scanner daily to enter work and remove any object that alarms. Most boots set the scanner off. these ones breeze right through, especially nice when its raining and you do not have to remove your boots and walk through nasty sloppy goop in your socks! Thank You! One surprise when I laced these up for the first time was the laces themselves, they used Para-Cord for laces! Nice touch there! Saved me the time of having to do it. Overall these Bellevillle boots appear top notch They polish up well, are comfortable, and look good. My only two potential unknowns would be durability and the waterproofing. Initial durability is great, fit and finish look like quality and care went into these boots. However, I have only had them for a short time and in my line of work I only get about 10 months of good use out of a pair of Duty boots, for the price I had better see at least that.. We will see. Finlay, the waterproofing, I am suspicious of their ability to keep my feet dry in wet conditions for an extend period. After wearing these boots to a supplemental training which required running and crawling around in the mud on an outdoor firearms course in the rain. I decided the best way to clean these up was to hose them off in the shower with the handheld sprayer (much to the disappointment of the wife BTW). The boots came clean in no time and afterwards buffed back to a decent luster with a terrycloth towel. A fine days work in the bag and ready for duty in the morning, well not so fast! I placed one boot on in the morning and realized immediately that it was soaked through from last nights washing the other one was as well. Somehow I had not noticed when I had wiped them down the night before that the boots were dripping wet inside. I am hoping that I somehow sprayed a bunch of water into the boots when cleaning them and did not soak the water up, (I doubt this as I do this often with other footwear and have not had this issue in the past). Though I have not yet tested the boots in standing water since, so here is to hoping I do not have soggy feet all day in the near future...If these boots end up being a sponge I will return and edit this review but if not... 5 star boots for sure.

I absolutely love these boots! I have many many boots of all types for all occasions. And i bought these with the intention of using them for dirty jobs and working. But they’re so cool-looking that I don’t have the heart to use them for that purpose! They’re a top quality boot, meant to last a long time! And I can tell that if I wanted to use them for “dirty jobs” and working, they’ll stand up to whatever I do with them. I wear a women’s size 6.5 and these are a size 4.5. They fit perfectly too! They’re definitely worth the reasonable price.

Been wearing these pretty frequently. Extremely comfortable and hold up well. Can easily go 12+ hours without any issues. Extremely happy with this purchase. Time will tell as far as longevity but seem to be holding up well. as far as use, I have been using in mixed environments of asphalt and woods without issue. They fit true to size. plenty of room for my hobbit feet. Solid construction. Would buy again without hesitation.

Magical boots. Light as a feather and comfortable enough to wear all day. I wear them even when I'm off duty they are so comfortable. I will be buying these boots again dependent on How long they last. Edit: The boots did not handle being underway on a cutter. They haven't lost their comfort but they are beginning to fall apart. I'm in them for 18+hrs a day and these boots just don't hold up. Then again there are only 2 types of boots that don't fall apart on a cutter.

I have worn many MANY work boots from a variety of brands over the years, and these are far and away THE most comfortable boots I have ever worn. So much so that they're no longer just "work" boots, they're my daily drivers. Super lightweight, nice wide toe box with plenty of room to wriggle, and the soles provide good grip on wet pavement and metallic surfaces. And unlike most other tactical boots I've worn, the zipper gusset is GENEROUSLY wide. I'm able to securely lace the nice and snuggle, and easily slip in and out through the zipper with zero effort. It's easy to see why Belleville is one of the brands the United States Marine Corps entrusts to provide footwear for their Marines. I will definitely be buying a couple extra pairs as backups.

These boots have been great in their first month of service! Very comfortable! 3 months in and these boots are already breaking down internally. Boots squeak while walking and it feels like the soles of the boots have split. For the same money I should have just went to Red Wing and bought good boots. Stay away from these is you are in a job field like firefighting.

Great boots

My husband loves these boots. Said there his favorite.
