FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Belleville Boot launches Blackout Mini-MiL® Barefoot Activity Shoe
Belleville, IL., June 25, 2026 - Belleville Boot Company, an industry-leading manufacturer of law enforcement and military footwear, has released the all-new Blackout Mini-MiL® barefoot duty & activity shoe.
Built off the incredibly popular footprint of the US Army & Air Force uniform compliant Mini-MiL® boot, the Blackout features a zero-drop heel-to-toe platform as well as a wide toe box which gives the toes room to spread naturally, supporting stability and reducing foot fatigue during extended wear.
The upper is constructed from synthetic suede and 500D with a waterproof & bloodborne pathogen proof membrane for added protection. And the highly flexible slip & oil-resistant full rubber VIBRAM® outsole provides excellent proprioception and traction across a variety of surfaces.
The original Mini-MiL® blazed the path in barefoot tactical footwear over 13 years ago providing the warfighter with a boot that was not just light weight but provided features you simply could not find with other boots on the market. After receiving a tremendous number of requests from the LE community, we are excited to offer the new trainer in a uniform compliant colorway for duty, range and training use.
