    Nice to see a local Belleville manufacturer getting some support, I grew up in Carryingplace across the Bay of Quinte. Belleville is a great town, I haven't been there in over twenty-five years though. I used to watch the helicopters take off from Trenton AFB. I would buy a pair of these just to support the local economy! Great offering gents.

    Used a boot very similar to this in Ranger School, worth every penny. Will get chewed up on rough terrian though.

    Belleville is American. However they do make great boots. I had a pair of the 409 (I think) desert boots and they were still kicking years later. They only got ruined by fire.

    I wear the NB Minimalist shoes for training. Great idea as it's definitely not a gimmick, all your support muscles/tendons/ligaments get stronger without support. I will never go back to "normal" athletic footwear again. You actually have to learn to walk differently in them in the beginning. They do tear easily though. Gone through two pairs in 8 months. I am going to buy a pair of the black ones as when I switch to my Danners or 5.11 tacticals sometimes I trip myself as my heel hits sooner than I expect. Thanks for bringing these in!

    The black ones are selling fast and we have an order in for the tan.

    Due to demand though it could be a bit for the tan ones.
