    Minimalist military boots

    Belleville's new MiniMil boot looks great.

    I started my terminal leave from the Army last week, could've used a pair of these a year or two ago.

    Holler if you land near by, we can bust some caps.

    I've been wearing the Oakley LSA Terrains for about 9 months of Guard Drill, and I have to say I really like them.

    Been on a couple 5-7 mile rucks with no ill effects, I know those aren't long by any means, but a fair test.

    Standing on concrete for 8+ hrs still leaves my hooves a little sore, but good insoles have certainly helped.

    I like the nikes, I wore them for a week on loan from my brother. I'll be in the market for some new boots in a couple months, more options the better.

    Sweet. I wore regular boots all weekend and my feet are killing me. I really need some minimalist boots.

    New Balance OTBs are quite nice, very light and comfortable, yet sturdy enough

    You can get much more of what you want with a kind word and a gun, than with a kind word alone.

    Those look pretty good, likely the first real minimal shoe. Not sure I have a use for a duty boot but glad to see them getting around.
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    They look a lot like my Nike SFB's...I may just have to buy a pair and compare

    Slightly heavier/sturdier, these Salewa Mid Mountain Trainers are now my favorite mids, ahead of my previous favorite, the Salomon Quest 4D's:
