Belleville C390 8 Inch Hot-Weather Combat Boots for Men - Active-Duty Army OCP ACU Coyote Brown Leather with Abrasion-Resistant Nylon and Traction Outsole; Berry Compliant

I am an 11 EEE and can make due with 11 1/2 W sometimes. I read the reviews and purchased 10 1/2 They fit with room to spare. ..." I take a size 10 1/2, specialist.' You take a 9. Here."

The toe on the boot has a hard place that hurt my husband toe so bad he stopped wearing them would not buy ever again

These are the most awesome boots!!The photos do no justice to these boots.They are the most beautiful boots ever.Brushed suede lowers, double stiching in a most aristic way. Air vents, both sides of each. Boot runs way up high, with dozens of gromellets on each boot. Sole is a good one inch thick of vibram. Beautiful color, sort of a light chocolate color. Soles match color of boot. Very light, and tough. These boots are so nice, you will be sure to get compliments about them. These boots are not only very beautiful looking, but they have a bad a** look to them, also. The kind of boots that your mother in law would wear. One look and folks can tell that you are not pussy footing around with these hush puppies. I venture that if you take good care of these boots, they will outlast you.Regarding sizing, I ordered my usual size. They fit perfectly. You should prob get a nice set of sole inserts for them. Esp if you have flat feet. The boots are roomy, so inserts work well. Honestly, I can not say enough good things about this boot. You will be proud to wear these boots. And you will be standing tall, as the sole is about an inch thick. Very comfortable boots, esp if you get sole inserts. Awesome. I love them.

I do concert production for a living, many years ago I tried to find something for my feet to be able to endure the long hours of standing, and working. Nothing seemed to help, then a friend gave me a pair of USMC issued Belleville boots, and from that moment on I was a fan. They lasted longer than anything I've ever owned. The first pair finally gave out, unable to repair. So my friend noticed I didn't have my boots on and he gave me a second pair. They have been faithful, and I still have them 10 years later. Other than the insole needing replaced, only Belleville insoles will do, they are a little dirty, but have been comfortable. This brings me to these wonderous boots I just purchased, I know they are built to last with American pride behind them. If you are looking for a solid pair of boots that will last, and are built to military standards, look no further. These will last you a very long time. Just remember to ONLY buy Belleville insoles, for they are the only ones I can testify to you that will make it feel like you are walking on soft ground.

I was issued the 390DES size 9 that fit great, I was also issued the same and struggled until a size 10 fit. So in the Army I had two pair of boots, two different sizes, both fit the same. I had the same struggle here. I ended up keeping size 9 1/2, but wish I had one of those size 9 "on the big side" that are really size 10. Other than that, these boots should last a civilian years. Comfortable ( I still replace the insole with SOF brand). Can withstand loose, sharp rocks, rain, mud, sand, a bit slippery in the snow and no good for wet metal loading ramps (really nothing is). If you can get away with them, the "Hi Tech/Magnum research" are better for garrison work-more like sneakers.
