Belleville 390 DES impression and comparison

[@danilucian3229]

I like the arguments you had in this video really good review, very different from the others on yt, thank you!

[@P1015532oni]

I patrolled Afghanistan in these boots. Still got them. Still my favourite to this day.

[@TheKampongKid]

Great to hear that but somehow mine doesn't seem to work for me.

[@brownbear846]

Belleville is a quality boot, I have had about 7 of them including the same one you have, and have been happy with the brand. I have turned my brother onto the boot, and he wears them for work.

[@comm2531]

The Belleville boots do run About a half inch to a full size big. I believe so does Altama. Kind of tricky sizing on U.S. boots. I have a pair of Belleville boots. I use them for work. Very nice boots. I have a pair of McRae Terrassault on the way for a lighter option, waiting for those.

[@brownbear846]

O the altima is the boot the army was wearing like 30yrs ago, the are hard on your feet. The belleville is more modern boot and much more forgiving on your feet.

[@TheKampongKid]

Brown Bear can't deny that but altama boots are a lot more well made than belleville boots. Will see how the belleville hold up.

you can get the liners for the as i did on ebay for $10 for winter or fall, my boots are the belleville icwr goretex intermediate cold weather boot

God how I love the loots of the old Altama desert boots how I wish some evil solider would have give me a close up 👀at that panama tread sorry that might sound a bit crazy but I 😍that tread so 😎looking

[@martinrobersonjr1458]

Just so you know these boots are not made of suede they are full grain cowhide. Also you should check out justin boots style 760 made in USA I've had my current pair for over 5 years best boot ever made!

[@TheKampongKid]

Thank you for the correct info, Justin boots...ok I will give them a look

[@michaelbonney6833]

Good video

[@brownbear846]

sorry 20yrs ago, typo

[@АндрейБелый-о3т]

Hi. Legs get tired in Altama boots. If you walk in them on stones or asphalt?

[@TheKampongKid]

Not sure if your altama boots are made in the USA because after they were bought by Original Co footwear, the boots are now made in somewhere else. The ones that I had were made in USA and I had them on asphalt, concrete, sand, dirt, mountains, etc and they rock amazing.

i like how clean and simple that room is. also im looking into those boots. how have they held up? how comfortable are they for long hikes and what not?

[@TheKampongKid]

Hey, haha first compliment I get on that room. It's a Japanese style room with traditional straw mats (tatami). Looking to sell these boots that I have only worn less than 5 times, boots are a little oversized for me so they hurt when fully laced up. Will not recommend these boots, the spine of the boots are soft and offers no support. Canvas material is thin and will not hold up. For hikes or outdoor adventures, I use the Asolo Fugitive GTX, great boots!

[@carls.6746]

@@TheKampongKid it's hard to find good hiking boots, I'm size 14 EEEE wide.

[@dscrappygolani7981]

Hey! Japanese dude, good English!👍

[@TheKampongKid]

Dscrappy Golani Sorry but I am not Japanese.

[@dscrappygolani7981]

shiroidevil don't be, I'm not Japanese either and I ain't sorry!😉

[@deanhallockify]

shiroidevil where in japan are you from? I have a friend whos from hanoi.

[@PainlessTrader-h1u]

Koreans hate it when you say they are Japanese......

[@arncj18]

maybe your altama was one that was still made in the US, the new batches are made in china and aren't the same quality

[@TheKampongKid]

My old beat up Altamas was made in the USA and the new ones are made outside USA, not quite the same quality
