KSO, Signa's and Flows. This boot is nothing like wearing VFFs however it is a great step forward from the clunky boot designs. Compared to my Desert, Jungle and Winter boots I was issued this is by far superior. The boots are very light. The fit is very snug around the heel which is initially uncomfortable but as I wore the boot it became more comfortable and actually feels like true ankle and heel support. The feel of the boot while running, walking feels less like a boot and more of a sneaker. I feel more nimble in these boots compared to my others. The toe area is roomier than standard boots which actually makes a difference when moving around intensely. When I wear these boots I have a better feel for the terrain around me. One thing I hated about my Winter boots is they pinch my toe knuckles when I take a knee, these boots do not have that issue. After wearing these boots go for a walk in normal military grade boots and you will feel a difference in how "clunky" standard boots are, also they're very breathable. As far as people complaining about the interior being unlined, just wear dress socks or underarmor socks, you still feel barefoot but protect against the unlined interior. I would've rather deployed with a pair of these... Also these boots run small!!! I wear a size 10 jungle boot. These are 10 1/2 and are much more snug even though they're a bigger size. To be honest I should've got an 11. in VFF i wear 43. That should give you some sort of idea of sizing. I followed the instructions and measured my feet. I recommend sizing up half a size after measuring your foot. Oh as far as cold weather with these boots. It's currently below freezing and I wear these with dress socks and I remove the insole. My feet are not cold. I will update this review once I've spent a couple weeks on the mountain with them. Review: Very comfortable boots! - They are as comfortable and functional as any of my street and hiking barefoot shoes I have. Which is to say, if I was interested in military style boots as everyday wear, I would have no issues wearing them every day. As it is, I wear them for 12+ hour shifts. At first, I did get the ankle bite like many people in military boots do, but that went away when I stopped tying them tight around the ankles. They haven't had any break-in period for me, but again, I have been in almost exclusively barefoot style shoes since Christmas. As for quality, I would say they are made as good as any military boot. They passed the scrutiny of my retired Marine husband. I would say they will be just as durable as any other military-style boot. I do wish the toe was rubber-wrapped, since we kneel down so much in EMS, but I will deal and just be careful so as to prevent scratching of the leather. The sole grip seems fine so far, I have been in a handful of greasy kitchens and wet floors, and they seem a bit better than my Haix and Danners were. Now that I have had them for a month or so, I can say that I really like them. For years, I was wearing Haix and Danner EMS/Wildland/Station crossover boots. I thought I loved those until I started with barefoot shoes earlier in the year. These may not have as much flexibility as true barefoots, but they have tons compared to regular boots, which is great. I will say, that like others have mentioned, sizing is a bit wonky. I am a woman and wear a women's 7.5 (men's 5.5-6)/37-38 in non-barefoot shoes, and 38 in barefoot shoes. I first got these in a 6.5 regular and they while they fit, they fit more like a regular shoe instead of barefoot. I switched to a 6.5 wide and they fit perfectly. They may actually be a little too long, but I am okay with that. Anyhoo, I am very glad I finally bought these and wish I had done it sooner! ## Features - Military-Grade Performance: The Belleville Mini-Mil Minimalist Tactical Boots exhibit unparalleled durability and precision for tactical operations.

Is this true? Is the toe box wider than normal to allow for toe splay? Or should i buy wide?** A: Yes it is true, there is only a 2mm drop and the toe box is wider. These were true to size and are very comfortable once you get use to the drop from wearing regular shoes. I have loved my pair and have had them for about 6 months now. I wear them every day and I work as a Sheriffs Deputy. The only draw back is that with all the rain we have had lately my feet do get wet. They are not water proof or resistant, they are a jungle boot style boot, though they do dry fast. I just keep extra pair of socks with me when at work. They are very quite when walking, when clearing house's I have been able to walk through homes like a "ninja" as my son says. They are very light on your feet and yet very comfortable. You will feel each rock you step on due to the thin sole, but the lug system on the sole has been very good so far, unless you get into some really muddy stuff, which no shoe really holds up in. I would compare the toe box to the Birkenstock style toe box if you are familiar with there style shoe's. Would I recommend this boot, YES most definitely. If you have a problem with flat feet then no. The support is not there, but that is not what this shoe was made for. Hope this helps. **Q: How well are these with oil/slip resistant? I work in a kitchen for work.** A: Haven't bought these yet, but I had a pair of leather minimalist shoes from vivo barefoot that didn't even have much tread on the soles, and I wore them to smithareens for two years in the kitchen. I'm sure these will work great. **Q: I got to try on a pair, and the sole seemed rather hard - it would tap on the floor even when walking carefully. Do they get softer/quieter with wear?** A: I've found that it depends on the type of floor you're walking on. I've found them to be loud when walking on laminate flooring especially. They're quieter on wood floors, but still a little 'tappy.' Like Eric above says, they're actual minimalist boots and have a rugged sole with hard rubber or whatever. So while they are a little 'tappy' just think, that's the sound of a long-lived sole. They'll start to separate from the upper long before they wear out. **Q: True to size?** A: The size was maybe 1 or 2 sizes smaller and the shoes where not the same as an other shoe from Tactical Research that I allready have ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Different but great. *by J***Y on February 19, 2013* I personally love minimalistic foot wear.

They are not Gore-tex, and it looks like the vendor fixed the title, but they are extremely water resistant. Everything I noted in the initial review still stands, but sometimes you like something despite the flaws! I would love a true Gore-tex boot, and I would love a better fit, but for what it's worth, this is one of my favorite boots for outdoor adventure. ************** I bought the TR101 and TR103 as well in order to compare them. The natural colors have vents in the instep which would make them NOT as waterproof as this boot, if that is a concern. Also the natural colors are made with a roughed up, unpolished leather which creates a rough surface on the inside of the boot. This makes them feel a LOT less comfortable than the polished leather. Now over time, I am sure that the inside would polish itself with wear. However, I am interested in a waterproof boot, and the black boot not having the vents made it a shoe-in. ;) (I talked to a few people that wear Govt Issue for work, and they said that the black polished boots always hold up longer. My guess is that the black boots also use a higher quality leather? This would explain the slightly higher ratings you see here on Amazon.) But, a representative for the company said that all three styles, the TR101, TR102, and TR103 all use the same exact boot mold. So any differences between them come down to materials used. As for fit. It does feel minimal, and it is VERY lightweight, which is a plus. It does not fit like the Merrell or NewBalance Barefoot shoes, it fits decidedly like a boot. When the laces are snugged enough to cut off circulation, there are pockets of fabric that hang loose- mostly in the ankle area. This allows the ankle to slop around a bit. If you lightly kick at something, your toe will contact the end of the boot, it doesn't fit well enough to hold the boot to the foot. Also, the leather heel calls it quits about halfway up the ankle and transitions to fabric, so I can feel the seam carving at the ankle during full articulation. Perhaps this is the heel discomfort many are talking about? Dunno. I have full grain cowboy boots that articulate better and feel better in the ankle, so there has to be a more elegant solution. Anyway, we take away one star for not being Goretex as advertised, not fitting great, but overall not bad, and as I mentioned, wicked light and the only outdoor rated barefoot boot I know of in this price range. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tactical Research Mini-Mil TR102 8 Inch Minimalist Tactical Boots for Men - Lightweight and Breathable Black Leather with Slip-Resistant Vibram Outsole - Tactical Research Mini-Mil TR105 8" Tactical Boots for Men - Minimalist Army/Air Force OCP ACU Coyote Brown Leather with Low Drop and Slip-Resistant Vibram Tarsus Outsole --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/125734754-belleville-mini-mil-tr102-minimalist-tactical-boot-zero-drop-barefoot](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/125734754-belleville-mini-mil-tr102-minimalist-tactical-boot-zero-drop-barefoot) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
