Belleville is the largest supplier of footwear to the U.S. military and produces over one million pairs of boots annually. They have a long history as a military footwear supplier that dates back to World War I when they were awarded their first Department of Defense contract to the U.S. Army. Since their humble beginnings in a small local operation Belleville, Illinois, they now employ over 1300 workers and have become the nation’s largest producer of military footwear. Their use of cutting edge robotics, top quality materials, and commitment to the U.S. soldier is what has powered their success since 1904. Today, Belleville Boots continues to innovate and sets industry footwear standards for military boots.
By Capt Rusty from Ann Arbor, MI on May 4, 2012I bought these 790s for my first assignment flying C141s out of Ramstein AFB, Germany. I needed something insulated and waterproof because of the weather out here. So far, these have been great flight boots compared to the pair issued to me in UPT. I always have cold and sweaty feet and the gore tex keeps them pretty dry and warm when paired with wool socks. Nice to find a pair of good quality boots made in America.
