Mobility equals survivability. Whether you’re on a long-range reconnaissance mission overseas, attending advanced infantry training, or on a ruck march, your footwear MUST be squared away.

I remember on numerous ruck marches, whether it was for PT (physical training) or moving from one objective to another on a field op, there were always guys getting foot blisters and hot spots. Mainly due to the poor construction of the issued combat boots.

While attending the Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, CA and the Jungle Warfare Training Center in Okinawa, Japan, blisters were a common occurrence.

The issued Marine Corps Combat Boots at the time were not an asset to the warfighter. Instead of just manufacturing a combat boot and sending it out to the masses, Belleville Boot Company has taken the time to understand what the Marine Corps warfighters need. The result of their research and development is the Ultralight Marine Corps Combat Boot; Specifically the 510 MEF (Marine Expeditionary Footwear).

510 MEF Marine Corps Combat Boot

Belleville Boot Company introduces the newest Marine Expeditionary Footwear – the 510 MEF – representing a breakthrough in combat boot technology and one of the lightest boots authorized for Marines to wear.

Fusing a moccasin-like Strobel constructed upper to an ultralight polyurethane (PU) midsole, the 510 MEF proves to be one of the lightest, most flexible, and most durable combat boots on the market.

Designed to perform; the 510 MEF maintained stability, durability, and comfort across the multiple environments tested by Marines.

  • Long-wearing Vibram® 100% rubber outsole
