Belleville MAXX 8-Inch Side Zip Tactical Boot

What do you get when you cross a combat boot with a feather pillow? You get the Belleville MAXX 8-Inch Side Zip Tactical Boot. Providing quality and functional footwear for military and law enforcement professionals for several years, Belleville's Tactical Research branch designed the MAXX with the street officer in mind. The result is an ultra comfortable and sturdy tactical boot that covers all of the bases for demanding days on the beat.

FATT MAXX TECHNOLOGY

The highlight of the MAXX is its unique cushioning comfort technology, Fatt Maxx, aptly named for the mound of shock absorbing foam between your foot and the ground. Intricately speaking, this tactical boot utilizes 29mm of foam at the heel and 23mm at the forefoot, providing 7.8 peak G's of action deceleration throughout the foot. This means that the resulting shock of walking and running is completely eliminated, effectively saving your feet a ton of grief as the day goes on. On top of that, a 10mm drop where your foot actually rests on the foam creates a cradle-like space to improve stability, eradicate foot fatigue, and reduce the risk of injury. The MAXX was designed for law enforcement professionals, and part of the job is lugging around several pounds of gear on a daily basis. Fatt Maxx technology not only absorbs the shock of action, but also helps to lighten your load and provide excellent support to your ankles and knees for optimal performance.

MIDSOLE, INSOLE, AND OUTSOLE

The MAXX features an innovative "rocker" style midsole which encourages a smooth transition from heel to toe, as opposed to typical boots which cause tiresome flexing in the toe area. The "rocker" design creates a rolling motion which improves forward propulsion with minimal effort from your foot, ultimately reducing foot fatigue by a substantial amount. Often found in high-performance athletic and hiking footwear, Ortholite insoles augment the Fatt Maxx technology by providing even more shock absorbtion. On top of that, Ortholite insoles transport moisture to keep feet dry and are also anti-fungal and anti-bacterial to eliminate gross foot odor. The MAXX is constructed on a wider-than-usual last, sporting a 10mm width across the ball of the foot. The wider design promotes stability while also reducing the risk of injury, as your foot rests down in the cushioning. In response to the rise in preference amongst street officers for flat-soled shoes, Belleville equipped this tactical boot with an exclusive Vibram Street outsole which satisfies this demand while providing excellent slip resistance and long-wearing quality.

UPPER AND SIDE ZIPPER

Belleville spared no expense making the MAXX a as sturdy as it is comfortable. With a smooth upper made of genuine cattlehide leather, this tactical boot is ready to go above and beyond the call of duty. The leather is supplemented by Destination P mesh, with a chain-link design that boasts high tensile strength. Destination P mesh is also highly breathable, and coupled with a dual spacer lining allows air to flow right through the boot to provide your feet with maximum ventilation and comfort. You don't have time to be fumbling with laces, so the MAXX also features a waterproof YKK zipper for quick and easy on-off capability.
