My review is more for the customer service of the company that sold me these boots (Elite Hero), and the replacement boots that they sent, than the boots themselves.If I were leaving a review for the boots alone, I'd give them 5 stars for quality of materials and craftsmanship (this model made in USA) and 1 star for comfort. I have low arches and something about the right boot caused me several days of pain in my right foot.Upon contacting the company that sold them to me (Elite Hero) they promptly replied that I could get a refund or a replacement. I bought them through work so a refund would not be possible. They eventually mailed me a replacement that was a different model (Belleville TR102 minimalist boot) and these boots are 5 stars for comfort, but made in China, which I was trying to avoid. Still a great boot for anyone looking for a minimalistic boot.While the email responses were sometimes a bit slow, they overall experience with Elite Hero was very positive and I would recommend business with them to anyone considering purchasing Belleville boots.These boots are awsome I've been wearing Belleville boots for the past 17yrs first while in military and after with current employment have no complaints whatsoever the fact that they can be retreated make them last even longer ...only reason for the return of these particular pair my size wasn't available the customer service made the transaction easy to dill with definitely will be ordering from them when I need themI am replacing a 6 year old pair of the same boots with these! 6 years of service from a pair of boots!! Well worth the money. They keep my feet comfortably warm down below 0°F. Dry too! Thank you Belleville for making this boot!I would have given it 5 stars if the pair would fit. Belleville is always a safe bet when it comes to quality. Normally I use the 880ST, but needed insulated ones, so 770 is my choice. Boots has been sent back, waiting for refund as my size won’t be ready in 3-4 weeks.I was issued these very boots in Iraq, beat the daylights out of them for a year of combat, and four years after that for tree work. So amazed at the sheer durability I bought the identical model boots again. Sneeker comfortable, water proofing never failed in either pair, sole grips great but tracks dirt into the kitchen. Until they stop making them, I'll never wear a different boot.Not a bad boot. Winter is not here yet so update are to come. As stated above, there is a break in so prepare your feet.Love these boots so far. I have spent two long work weeks in them on concrete floors with added insoles and have found them to be very comfortable. I feel like they are of good quality. They are warm while working inside so non insulated might be a better choice for inside. Outside in the cold they are nice.Very very comfortableEasy to put onAmple widthPassed my standing on ice for 5 hours with flying colors
