Belleville Sabre C333 8” Hot Weather Hybrid Assault Combat Boots for Men - Army/Air Force AR 670-1/AFI 36-2903 Coyote Brown Leather with Vibram Ibex Outsole; Berry Compliant

So far they are great. Seem to be really well designed and made. Even has the suede side out like you should have for durability. I like the color as well. can fit thick socks as needed for cooler weather as well.

I'm an 11 but had to go with 11 1/2 for these. Which is really odd considering that their 11 Ultralight Assault boot was crazy oversized. Ultimately went with these because they lace much further down to the toes, allowing a form fit. Plus the padding around and above the ankle makes it quite comfortable. However I don't care for the Vibram outsoles because they wear far to quickly. They're to soft and I expect they'll rub off on asphalt and concrete and be slick before long. Like a good tire that lasts long yet still has traction, shoe outsoles need to find that balance. Vibram fails at this. (Or succeeds if their goal is to sell more shoes that prematurely wear.)

These are by far the most comfortable boots I have ever worn for the Army. When I first got them, I put them on out of the box, soaked them with a garden house, then walked a few miles in them to help them break in, although this was probably unnecessary. My feet get blisters from most boots, particularly on the ankle and heal--not so with these. When I first got them it felt as if I was walking on pillows. I would very strongly recommend them.The only drawbacks I can think of are that I started to wear through them after 6 months of fairly heavy use (rucking, etc.), and since they're a little heavier duty than the "light" boots (Nike SFBs/Rockies, etc.), they will eventually start to smell if you use them heavily. However, this is true of almost any boots, and the level of comfort with these is by far worth it.I've started wearing my boots a little tighter in order to prevent excess friction on longer rucks; so if I wear a 10.5-11 shoe, I'll wear a 10R-10.5R in boots. However, this is true of all boots, not just Belleville's.

Will order again soon

I wore these boots back in my Navy days and finally wore them out after a few years in the desert and being on my feet all day. I’ll wear these boots for 12 hours a day between concrete and the pasture any my feet feel great. They’re nice and light weight with enough room to fit a wool sock in the winter.

I was expecting two identical boots but instead got one that was shaved and one that wasn’t. Very poor quality. I can’t believe they wouldn’t even notice that when boxing them up.

Toe box is a litte tight but they are very comfortable well worth it.

Order a half size smaller if you have narrower feet. I wear an F in normal shoes (narrow) and I usually need a half size to a full size smaller. May need an insole for more arch support as I have a medium arch
