I've been wearing these bots for the last 8 years. As long as belleville stays in business. I will never wear another boot for work. These boots fit perfectly. All day i feel nothing. Easy on easy off. These boots with my line of work last nearly a year and a half, other boots maybe 4 to 6 months.

I have always preferred your boots over other companies due to superior craftsmanship and ruggedness of your boots. I just ordered a new pair of the 550 st from workboots usa and I am a bit dissapointed in them. Although my complaint is really just minor nuiscances it seems the attention to detail and superior craftsmanship I expect from belleville was lacking when this pair was made. The upper portion of my right boot is stitched on crooked and the placement of the vent holes on each pair is nowhere near uniformed like every pair seemed when I served a few years ago. Im sure the boots are plenty tough still but I feel as if I just purchased bates instead of belleville.

Grabbed these out of my sea bag for a new job 4 years ago. Forgot them once and wore through the heels of a pair of wal-mart boots in a week. The only reason I'm replacing them is because I did some concrete work which dried out and split the leather (my fault for not cleaning and treating them).I've even had the same laces in them for 10 years.

Durability 11/10
Comfort 9/10
Love these boots.
