Belleville AMRAP Vapor Waterproof Mid-Cut Tactical Boots for Men - Designed for Police, EMS, and Security with Traction Outsole

You can never go wrong with Belleville boots. I work in corrections and was in need of new boots. My last pair was a set of Belleville fatt Maxx which in my line of work I thought I was only going to get 6 to 8 months use out of them. It took me two years to finally wear them down to the point of replacement. Due to having such a good experience with Belleville I decided to purchase the AMRAP Vapor. These boots feel better than my last ones and the design is awesome. Very good tread, lightweight and extremely comfortable. I have tried almost every brand out there for tactical boots and Belleville has proven to be the best for me.

I was super stoked about this item because my coworkers told me about how comfortable and clean they were. I received mine today and when I opened the package, box was ripped in half. The shoes were dirty with mud or dirt. Look like someone used them as the insole logo stick was already off or fading away. The shoes string was already ripped. I could have sworn I purchased new ones and not used ones.

The boot fits true to size. Very confrontable on the inside. soles are soft and have a nice rebound to them. That make the boot great for walking. Standing seems to be a slight. The sponginess of the sole is my theory behind that. When I say standing I'm referring to hours of standing no boot will Excell with prolonged standing.Two flaws I had with the boot were lock down and glue seams.The lock down of the boots seems hard because of the soft interior and soft soles of the boot. With that negative it brings the postive of a very confrontable boot.The biggest downside of the boot is their glue. Where the toes crease the glue only lasted maybe a month. Lucky hasn't separate much since but I see it lifting at points a bit after a several months of us..This knock is a real downside. But I'd take half a star off the review if it was possible. So I'm keeping it at 5 stars still.Recommended this boot every chance I get!

The boots are light and breathable and comfortable. The left boot is causing my heel to hurt. I’ve put insoles in the boots and still causing discomfort on my left heal. The right boot is perfect. I’ve only had the boots a week so I want to give it more time before before I give up on them.

I really, really wanted this boot to fit good. Tried several sizes and widths. The boot in my opinion is one of the best looking out there. Appeared very well made, cushioning was very good, heel to toe drop was decent (for a boot) and tread actually looked pretty impressive. However…. I absolutely hate the zipper feature on this boot. I want to be clear that I bought these as an everyday boot for the cooler temperatures. The materials that expands when the boot is unzipped and the part of the tongue where the two parts attach just completely dug into my ankle and surrounding area on my foot. I was really disappointed, even thought about just wearing them and see if it eventually softened up or flattened down but the risk of having an expensive boot sitting in my closet because I can’t wear them was too much. I also might add that the waterproofing material makes a fairly noticeable sound when walking. I thought that was odd. Had to return. If a non zip model was offered I would very much be interested. And as all reviews go, this of course was my personal opinion on my foot. If there is even a chance you could be ok with the extra material on your ankle area and could tolerate the noise, I would at least try them.

The boots did run large. On the recommendation of another review, I bought a half size smaller than normal. That fit with room to spare. Other than that I have been wearing these boots a couple months working 12 hr. days 6 days a week. although I do walk a lot in them I don't have a job that is particularly rough on boots. These are the most comfortable boots I've ever had.

I've been issued Belleville boots several times along with others and personally purchased plenty also. Belleville makes very durable boots. Unlike the issued Belleville boots, these are cut like a hiker boot and are extremely light. They ARE waterproof, and while they don't have a safety toe they do have dense rubber around the toe for some light protection. Traction is great on hard or loose surfaces and these breathe like a running shoe. Ankle support is great, I ran a tactical rifle course I helped teach yesterday in these and not once did my ankles feel unsupported. Have I had better boots? Yes, but not for only $170. They're a bit stiff for the first few hours of wear, but then loosen right up and get comfy. My only gripe is the zipper, very few side zip boots have a zipper that actually allows you to not lace and unlace the boot, these are no exception. You'd have to lace them loose to be able to slide them back on. If you're like me, 11 years military, you can't stand a loose laced boot.....so therefore I'd recommend getting the non-zippered model as the zipper is useless.Solid boots though, inconspicuous with pants too. I'll probably field these next time out and really torture them.

At first, they were a little stiff, but after about a month of wearing these, they became very comfortable, more like sneakers than boots. As far as durability, that is yet to be determined. Belleville boots are usually very durable, however the Tactical Research boots that they sell, even though they are comfortable, lack durability and were disappoininting.
