Manufacturer Part Number: MAXX8Z
Based on the thriving Maximalist footwear trend in the running category, Belleville created the MAXX 8Z ultra-cushioned tactical boot for those requiring a soft and shock absorbing platform.

Unfortunately, not all boot brands fit the same. For this reason, we would like to offer a few sizing tips that will help you get a better BELLEVILLE fit:
- CHECK YOUR SIZE:Belleville boots are about 1 to 1½ full sizes larger in fit than your normal shoe size when measuring on a standard Brannock shoe device. The difference depends on the type of boot you choose: soft toe versus safety toe, hot weather versus insulated or waterproof, etc.
- SIZING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE MINI-MiL (TR101, TR102, TR103) MINIMALIST BOOTS:Due to the wider shape of the toe box, we have found that the MINI-MiL® tends to run on the small/short side. For this reason, we recommend customers order a half size up from your normal shoe size. For instance, if you wear a size 10, then we would recommend you order a 10.5 in the MINI-MiL®.
- GET SOME BOOT SOCKS:Try on the boots with a pair of boot socks that you will normally wear with the boots.
- PLACE & LACE:It is important that your foot is properly placed inside the boots when selecting a size. Proper foot placement requires that the lace is drawn snug at the bottom of the lacing system. This will prevent your foot from sliding forward too far and keep your heel properly placed against the back of the boot. To improve the fit of the boot, try loosening or tightening the laces at different parts of the boot until you get the perfect fit.
- CHECK THE LENGTH:Length-wise, when your heel is placed against the back of the boot, you should have a slight amount of room in the front of the boots to wiggle your toes.
- CHECK THE WIDTH:Width-wise, your boots should feel a little snug, but not tight.
- TAKE A STROLL:Walk around to see how the boots feel. Make sure your heel stays in place and not sliding up and down (this can cause blisters).
Belleville does offer many boot styles that are specifically manufactured for women. All Belleville style numbers that begin with an "F" indicate a boot specifically designed and sized for women. If a particular style of boot is not available in women's sizes, we recommend ordering the boot 2 full sizes smaller.

To start off with, these boots are not water proof. If you get any water on the tongue area it goes straight through.That aside the break in period has been difficult. These boots bite the back of my Achilles tendon. I doubled up on socks and even use band aid tape. They still bite. They are also probably half a size larger than they are sized for.All of that aside. These boots are excellent over all. While the run from initial break in hurts the actual foot support is incredible. I work corrections. I am on my feet for 12 hours at minimum. I wore these for the first 2 days and my feet did not hurt at all. Usually when I get home my feet are in agony. But I noticed a drastic difference with these.The side zipper is your standard boot zip. It is sturdy and appropriate for the boot. I don't see it breaking with regular use.I've tried 5.11, Reebok, Nike, under armour. I'd say these are comparable to 5.11 but more durable. As many of us have noticed, 5.11 has declined in quality. Boots that used to last a whole year are now falling apart after just 3 months. These answer that.I'd give these 5 stars but I'm being honest. The break in hurts. But they are worth it.

I'm a corrections Officer and I'm on my feet for at up to 16hrs non stop and these boots fell like walking on a cloud. They are designed for corrections officers so they provide the ankle support I need but the pain I have had in my last boots (Reebok) gave me from the time I stood up in them. Note, THESE BOOTS ARE SIZED SMALL! I'm a woman and wear a 7.5 in women's, I ordered a 5.5 in men's and they just do fit so order a half size larger than you usually wear. As far as comfort, these are the most comfortable boots I've ever put on my feet! OMG!

I love these boots. This is my 5th pair. I am a bigger guy 61 and 250 lbs. These boots feel amazing. They are good for about a year before needing to replace them. Fit is true to size.

So far, so good. Most comfortable boot I've worn. Hopefully, the cushioning it holds up over time. Ankles seem a little tight at the top. It's a little hard to get the side zipper all the way up. Other than that, no complaints.

These boots have been great so far! I work fire/EMS for a pretty busy department and they have been great. No matter if you're training at the station or standing at the hospital for hours they have definitely been worth the investment. Just give them a few shifts to break in and you will be good to go!
