Belleville Spear Point BV918Z 8” Lightweight Black Tactical Boots for Men with Zipper - Designed for Police, EMS, and Security Personnel with Zone Traction Rubber Outsole

I work 8-16 hours asa corrections deputy, so I’m on concrete the entire time. Most comfortable boot I’ve owned. I did put a good insole in them as well but the durability and look far surpass most other boots. Would recommend to anyone!

I’m LOVING these boots.Very comfortable

Overall a great boot but do not have a defined heal as recommended by OSHA standards. You might not get away with climbing ladders by a site safety inspector. Very comfortable and well made and do not chaff on long hikes so would recommend them for that especially if you're looking for a tactical combat style boot.

I picked these boots up since I needed a good pair for Class A uniform wear/inspection in my LEO department. The sizing is spot-on and they hold a great "glass like" polish on the toes and heels of the boots with Kiwi polish. I was regularly issued Belleville brand boots during my military career which were superb quality and exceptionally durable, and these boots are no exception now that I've crossed over to LEO. They are lightweight, durable, highly polishable, and durable duty boots that will last a very long time. I looked at multiple big brands before I made my decision, and Belleville won out.

About as water resistant as a pair of flip flops. I’m honestly quite surprised at the complete lack of water resistance even. If you had snow packed on the side mesh, and got into a car with the heat on. That snow would melt and your socks would get wet. These things drink up water. Which fine if that’s the case but then at least have some drain holes. These things once filled will hold water like a damn dessert camel. And if that’s the case then I’m confused as to why they even bothered adding the gusset that only comes to about the top of your foot. Just make the tongue free floating at that point at least you’ll get to trade some ventilation for water resistance. Which is my next gripe. These boots are surprisingly warm for being boots that don’t have water proofing which is like why? These boots straddle the fence being too hot to be a summer boot and too thirsty to be a fall winter boot. I guess they would be good if you are like a mall cop relegated to parking lot duty. They are comfortable but they leave you wanting in almost every other performance category you could think of. Pretty bummed I dropped a hundred bucks on some meter maids winter warrior wet dream. I’ll report back once I figure out how I’m going to mod these things to give them some functionality. I already have a good pair of waterproof winter boots though. These are not the upgrade I had in mind. Thought I couldn’t go wrong with Belleville but I was sorely mistaken. I’d send em back but I stepped in 2 inches of water and both boots became instantly waterlogged.

I wear them on 12 hour shifts in the hospital. Comfy.

Poor overall quality!!! I expected way better from Belleville!!! Wore several types while in the military because they were Berry Compliant being made in the US, Belleville’s cheaper subsidiary Tactical Research were the foreign made cheaper stuff. However, these actual Bellevilles were made in Cambodia!!! Who knows? Maybe they were knockoffs? These broke down quickly over just two months and the cheap leather stretched to almost a wide fit. I put in a better insole and they just seemed to break down even faster. Belleville….WTH?!

Great boots, they’re a little big but comfy!!!
