I have been wearing SWAT boots for the last ten years. The Six inch zip up steel toe boots I had ordered this time have some major design flaws. I wore them for three days thinking I was just having to break them in. The pain became so unbearable that I could not wear them for a week. I tried to figure out what was bruising the inside of my ankles. I found extra material bunching up around the zipped up area so I figured if I cut the excess out it would be fine. I tried to wear them again but the bruised area on my ankles were still being painfully aggravated. Upon another inspection I found that the tongues on the inside of both boots have something very hard inside of each one that was pushing on the inside of my ankles. I have never had a pair made this way. I have four older pair so I am not sure what happened with these but I believe something went wrong. Not even willing to take them back to investigate the manufacturing defects. First time I bought from this online store and will be the last. DONT BUY HERE.
Ordered 550 st . Customer service was prompt and polite. Received boots after back order. This all worked great. Boots looked good, fit well. UNTIL I dropped a brick on my right toe by accident. As you can see, left boot is steel. Right boot has no steel. I guess I didnt need that toe anyway. It would be nice to get a right boot with steel though. UPDATE.Customer service called me back, said they would make it right. Got new boots, properly made in about a week!
Military Boots Direct by far have the best prices! I ordered the Altama Foxhound SR. I love this brand. I have flat feet and these boots are light and extremely comfortable. I ordered my first pair of Altama while overseas and they still feel comfortable. Only purchasing a new pair because of the OCP uniform. As you can see, my tan ones have had it. I did encounter an issue with shipping but it was corrected. I had to email the company because when you call their toll-free number it tells customers to send an email. I did not like that part because i figured sending email who take forever for someone to respond back. I was wrong. I received a call to correct the issue the same day, I sent the email. Very pleased with customer service. Shipping is fast. I think it took 2-3 days too!
I needed a pair of boots for duty with the unit that Im assigned to and ordered them from MBD last week. Customer Service Representative Brian contacted me the next day by e-mail and reported that the boots that I had originally ordered were out of stock. He gave me the option of providing me a refund or finding me a suitable alternative. He recommended the Khyber II Hot Weather Lightweight Mountain Hybrid Boot. I ordered the boots and received them the next afternoon. Ive been wearing boots for many years and I can tell that these boots will require minimal break in time. They immediately felt comfortable when I put them on and walked around the house. This afternoon I put the boots on and walked a few miles in the nearby woods and knew that these were a good fit. Theyre well made and will suit my tactical needs quite well. I cannot say enough about the exceptional customer service that Brian provided to me. Many years ago I slogged through boot camp in a pair of ill fitting boots and swore I would never again endure that misery. Brian helped alleviate the hit or miss that ordering boots prior to trying them on can entail. Thanks!
Great price for the boots youre looking for. great experience with customer service. would definitely use again
Military Boots Direct /Belleville is phenomenal. In 2008 I was deployed to Afghanistan and was issued the Belleville 790s. I fell in love with that boot. I finally bought a new pair a few weeks ago but the sizing was way off. Im usually an 11 in sneakers or on the sizing machine, so I ordered a size 10 wide with Bellevilles suggestion. Boot was still a half size too big. Military Boots Direct took care of the exchange immediately and sent return labels. Customer service is really great. Thank you!
It took awhile to get the boots (COVID 19), but, Brian kept me posted and did a good job!
Great customer service. Hassle free exchange for a different size and even shipped my boots in time for training.
Recently a pair of Tactical Research boots (TR350) I purchased at a local Army Navy Surplus store finally wore out after many, many years of service. I decided to look on the web to see if I could that same boot and found the Military Boots Direct website. My boots, the TR350s, were easy to find on the site and they were on sale! I submitted my order, but I could only find the boots in a Wide configuration instead of the Regular size of my old boots. I included a note with the order asking if it would be possible to get the TR350s in R instead of W and submitted the order. A customer service rep named Brian sent me an email advising the TR350s were sold out in my size, both R and W widths and he offered an alternative boot that looked exactly like the TR350 but was in a different color and available in both the Wide and Regular widths. However, the alternate boots were about $15 dollars more a pair so I emailed Brian and asked if the boots he suggested would be the same price as the TR350s I had hoped for. Brian wrote back saying the alternate boots would be ...a complimentary upgrade at the same price. Wow, that is good old American customer service at its best. I wish all companies would work as hard to do the right thing for their customers as Military Boots Direct. Thank you Brian!!
The Customer service has been nothing but exceptional. When my boots were returned to the warehouse due to the shipping company not able to find the address, Military Boots reshipped them to a new address given with no questions asked. I will be ordering from then again.ThanksDave
Outstanding customer service. Ive had some boots from there for nearly a decade and when I needed some assistance on getting them repaired Brian was incredibly responsive and informative. Ill definitely be getting my next pair here!
EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. First pair of boots I ordered were out of stock. (supplier issue) Brian from customer service quickly emailed me to let me know. Included in the email were links to 3 other very similar options. One of them was perfect so I placed an order for those and he immediately refunded the cost of the out of stack pair. WIN/WIN for me getting my new boots and Military Boots Direct getting the sale. Will definitely shop here again.
Great customer service. Unfortunately the boots I ordered were not available. Brian advised me of this as soon as I placed my order and took care of the cancellation and refund right away. I will definitely shop here again.As a follow up to my original review I still feel the customer service is good, and the shipping is fast. However, if the product you order doesnt fit comfortably even though the size is correct, or the color is different than portrayed in the pictures, you have to pay for the return shipping. That added cost means that the prices from this seller are not as good as Amazon or other websites. I likely wont purchase from here again.I returned the boots and Brian issued a refund as soon as I sent the tracking number. The customer service is great, but unfortunately having to pay $22.80 to return the boots made the price too high. Unless I’m sure I’m going to keep what I order I will have to purchase elsewhere.
Customer service is honestly a 10/5! The gentleman who helped me was outstanding, and I’m so happy with my purchase and the company!
Very pleasant to work with. I have been emailing them back and forth to try to get the right boot size. They even sent me a link to get a smaller size than what was advertised. I tried emailing another boot company, but they werent much help. I highly recommend this place. I would do business with them again in a heartbeat.
Ordered a pair of boots for military duty and within an hour was emailed that the size was going to be on back-order and warned if I needed them sooner they may not be available yet. Less than 4 hours later an acceptable replacement order was processed, payed for and under preparation to be shipped. Fastest response Ive ever gotten on an order (especially on a Sunday). Definitely recommend these guys.
Nice service.Customer service staff is reply soon and kindness.
Great customer service. When I ordered, they promptly let me know that the item was out of stock. Email communication was quick and we were able to get me an in-stock item. Great overall experience thus far.
I purchased a pair of boots from MBDO. They were made with superior attention to quality and workmanship. Unfortunately they werent exactly the look that I was going for so I had to return them for a refund. They were extremely helpful, courteous and prompt. Excellent, excellent company.
I had purchased a pair of the 600CT boots just under a year ago and recently the outsole on both boots split from side to side. Customer service was very professional and expedient in communicating with both myself and Belleville on warranting the boots. Most places Ive had horror stories with customer service but have high Marks for theirs.
Excellent customer service from Brian. He arranged for the pickup of my boots and return the next day. Fast service and respectful communications via email. Will recommend this company for all my USAF boots.
Brians customer service was great. Unfortunately the purchase I made did not work out due to no fault of the store. My husband and I both ordered boots. My husband loved his but I did not like the fit on mine and Brian was understanding of that and allow me to return without any hassle. He was quick, prompt, and courteous.
Great customer service! I was emailed by Brian immediately that there was a back order, and then I wanted to change the size, which was handled with no problems. I had ordered another pair of boots and they were at my door in less than 48 hours! I will definitely order again in the future.
Excellent service with very fast responses and shipping. I am very happy with this company and would use again. Brian showed excellent customer service and the boots they supply are amazing! Thanks!!
Outstanding customer service - they go above and beyond. Thrilled to have found them. Great boots, fair price and perfect treatment
Made an online order for a boot that was not in stock. Brian with customer service replied promptly with a selection of boots that were in stock and the option to place the other boots on backorder. Excellent customer service and time management! Thanks a ton for making the process easy.
Boots fit a little smaller than expected (order a half size up from issued Bates). I sent an email asking for an exchange and was promptly responded to with a PAID UPS return label. Customer service was exceptionally polite and helpful. 100% would order from this site again!
Great customer service. I am happy to do business with Military Boots Direct. I have recommended their website to all my friends.
Had little issue with a pair of boots ordered but Brian made it right super fast. Would definitely order from again.
Last time I ordered boots from this clown they never showed up, I never got a refund, and I never got a response to 5 emails and 2 phone messages. Filed a complaint with the FTC and had to get a refund via a charge dispute with my card carrier. It took about 4 months. This is a SCAM. Do NOT buy from this parasite.
Great customer service. I bought a pair of C390s that developed an indentation on the soft toe within a month. I emailed Brian about it and he sent me another pair. Other than that the boots have been great so far.
Superb customer service. Brian was quick to respond and assist with issues from the moment I ordered a pair of boots for summer wear. If youre reading this, thank you for all youve done.
Great place to do business. Brian was easy to work with and helped get me sorted out! Thanks again.
Best customer service. I ordered the wrong boots and they promptly helped me to resolve the issue and got me the right boots I needed and shipped them in no time. Greatly appreciate those guys at Military Boots Direct.
I placed the order for my boots on a Sunday, but I forgot to put in my size, and didnt notice until I looked at the confirmation email. I sent an email explaining my mistake and expected Id hear back in a few days, but by 8am the next day, I received an email from Brian that my size had been added, and my boots were shipping out asap. Amazing customer service, I will use them for as long as they are in business.
Customer service was phenomenal and prices were pretty good. had to make a return for better size and was a cinch to do. same day I told them I needed to make a return, they sent me the return slip via email within a couple hours. not too shabby. thanks MBD
Working through a Back Order situation. These guys are great to work with. Eager to assist and patient with me.
Great boots ! Very light and well made. Thanks Brian, Thank you for helping with the quick exchange. Cant wait to wear them outside...if it ever warms up here in Wisconsin !
Had a little hickup with stock, but a fellow named Brian kept me up to date on everything, refunded my expedited shipping fee, and left me a happy customer. My next pair of boots will be bought from here, you can count on that. Thank you for the amazing service, the refund, and the timely replies to my email. 10/10.
Responsive and fast! Ordered a pair of boots for my husband in a size too small. They were quick to send me a shipping label for an exchange.
Great, quick service! All of my questions were responded to very quickly and the return process for a size exchange was quick and easy. Thanks for all your help!
Customer service is top-notch. Great communication and service. Really couldn’t ask for much more from a company.
Great customer service!! I recently ordered a pair of boots from them, but Brian informed me the ones I wanted in my size were out of stock and would not return to stock for another 5 weeks or so! But he offered to upgrade my order to the more expensive ones with zero upcharge! I responded to him and he shipped out my order the next day! Awesome service! I can’t wait for these boots to arrive!!
Absolutely the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I ordered the boots in November and was told they were backordered and that my credit card would be charged when the boots shipped to me. My CC was charged on 27 November and I still have not received the boots. On top of that, I have emailed this company 6 times and have heard nothing from them. I will never order from them again and am telling friends who were interested in this company to steer clear of them, as wellWish I could give zero stars!
Got the boots I needed. Brian provided excellent and prompt communication via email.
Great Place to work with. Brian was extremely helpful and knowledgeable ordered multiple boots and sizes. Fast delivery and order was perfect
I will continue shopping here. Through a mistype of my own, I received the wrong size boots. The company responded to my email the same day and got me a free return label to print out. They made swapping out the size quick and easy. And as always, the Bellevilles I received are top quality. I destroy boots but this brand lasts.
Great customer service. Very easy to exchange my order for a larger size - free shipping and all hassle free. Highly recommend.
At first I was frustrated that their was no good contact phone number, but email response was very prompt (with subsequent questions)!! perhaps better than waiting on hold for automated phone lines like other companies. Easy to work with for backorder and returns for correct size.
Very accommodating. Great to work with. Quick email responses. Will definitely order from again
This company was a pleasure to deal with. Brian got back to me quickly with a question about my order. My boots were delivered in two days. I will definitely order from this company again.
Recently ordered a pair of Swat Chase 9 and had a minor issue with the delivery being on time after paying the extra $ for 2nd day air. I requested a credit due to delay and Brian got back to me quickly and authorized the credit immediately. 1st experience with Military Boots Direct and will definitely recommend them!
Unfortunately first pair of boots had a tear but they quickly corrected it and had a replacement sent out the next day. Will shop from again.
Trying these out because heard good reviews. So far Im liking them alot more than regular jungle boots. Thicker more supportive sole.
15 years ago I received my first pair of Belleville boots (390 DES) as part of a supplemental issue in Iraq. Started wearing them the first day, and could not believe how comfortable they were: zero break-in, and felt like I was walking on springs. When rainy season approached, I ordered 2 more pair of 790s (with Goretex lining), and was again impressed with comfort and dry feet! With my two original 790s now relegated to occasional use, I ordered a new pair. Brian emailed me immediately to inform me of a 6 week backorder, which was quite acceptable. Less than a week later, my wife hands me a box from Belleville with the ordered boots! Just as comfy as the originals. Great boots: I wear them whenever I expect to be on my feet for hours, and have worn them in torrents of rain while marshalling golf tournaments. Recommend with no hesitation.
Brian emailed me because my boots were backordered. Not surprised as Im a very uncommon size and run into that all the time. He gave me clear options and we exchanged 6 emails in as many minutes. It was a pleasure... and a lot better than a generic automated email or not giving me the option to order my size. I will wait the couple weeks. Thanks!
I ordered a pair of boots from Military Boots Direct (MBD), following their online sizing guide. When I received the boots, they were too small, and I requested an exchange. I received the return label and shipped the boots back to MBD in the original condition and packaging. I received confirmation of delivery on 14 May 2019, and have yet to receive the replacement boots. I have sent several emails to MBD inquiring after my exchange, as their listed phone number only returns an automated message saying to email them with questions, to no reply. I would like a refund issued for the amount of $127.95, since the product received was returned, and I have not received a replacement, nor any indication that I will. If i could give less than one star, I would.
Fast shipping. Great customer service. Had to make an exchange and they handled it very well. Thank yal
They were awesome as they were quick to ship. When my order was not in stock the let me know pretty fast and I was able to get a new size just through contacting them from gmail.
Brian with customer service was extraordinary helpful in placing an order. I ordered an item online that was out of stock and Brian helped me get a replacement that is actually what I needed. Very responsive.
Asked a question and was answered immediately great customer service and will be ordering the McRae 8188 ripple sole jungle boot exactly what I was searching for will give another review about the boots when I receive them
Brian with customer service is great. I had to exchange some boots due to size and he was very helpful, swift responses/return shipping label, and my new pair was on the way in no time!
Good prices, and excellent customer service. They are very quick to reply, and if you do need to exchange your order theyre very accommodating and helpful.
Absolute best and fast customer service via e-mail from Brian. I am currently deployed and he helped me pick out the right size which gets tricky with female to male sizing on some boots. And then when unfortunatly the boots I recieved had a factory defect, very quickly were they able to send me a new pair at no cost and no return shipping necessary.
Boots I ordered were not in stock. I received an email immediately advising of status and giving me several options. High marks for quick and efficient customer service.
Great boots and even better customer service. They helped me find the pair that fit perfectly, could not recommend them more.
Great service, super fast shipping and delivery...
Excellent service. Ordered a pair of Bellevilles for Marine Corps OCS, and contacted MBD for a size exchange. They got back to me quickly and helped me get the right size, with no extra fees. Big thanks to Brian for all the help with the exchange.
There was a slight problem with the status of my order due to the manufacture not having the boots in stock. They were very timely and easy to work with - I will use them again!
They came through for me when other places were either closed for the holiday or had nothing I needed in stock. This is my go to place for my AF boots now. Thanks.
Brian did a great job at getting me the boot size I need. Great customer service.
Over the top customer service. Answers questions and takes care of any issues quickly. Hard to find these days.
Excellent customer service!! Give Brian a raise! The customer service has been very accommodating. I had to exchange a pair of boots for a different size and had to wait a bit on a backorder, but this was no fault of MBD. They helped me a lot and were friendly 😁👍
Brian is is very good at customer service. He responded to my emails quickly and had my question answered.
Good Customer Service. They didn’t have my boots in stock and they gave me a refund. Very fast responses.
Very good customer customer service. Brian was polite and speedy in helping me resolve getting replacement boots as a result of a manufacturer defect.
Brian in customer service was very helpful. Easy exchange, quick response.
Brian is the man! His customer service is actually impecable i had accidentally ordered a size 6.5 while i am a 8.5 but thank god, Brian just a few hours later notified me that he was out of stock on 6.5 and i had told him that i wanted an 8.5 that i had made a mistake and within minutes he responded and changed my order cant wait to get my steel toed boots within a few days! My first pair i got 7 years ago are too worn out so very excited for this new pair! Thanks Brian!
Great customer Service they have gone above and beyond helping my mother buy boots I need for ROTC Advance Camp!!!!
Solid buying experience. Fast shipping and sent me a label for a size exchange.
Brian was very fast and responsive to my emails.
Great customer service. Will definitely order from them again.
Great boots, promptly shipped, freely exchanged, promptly shipped again. I am pleased.
Great customer service. Quick response to emails and requests.
Responded to email quickly and handled my issue. Phone number only refers to sending an email, which was frustrating at the time, but again, quick on emails.
Great customer service - quick responses and easy exchanges!
Great customer service and response time, overall terrific experience with these guys!
Very professional staff and excellent customer service!
Great customer service. Great boot selection.
The best customer service!!! Had problem, they solve it in a meter of days!!! Also price is phenomenal!!!
I was kind of scared to order online cause of the reviews I read about this place. Some said costumer service was horrible. They wouldnt answer their calls after their boots didnt show up or they needed an exchange in size, but my experience here was great! I ordered my boots for my abu and chose 7-9 days for shipping cause it was free and they came in 3 DAYS! Good condition and everything! If this helps Im usually a 6 and ordered a 5. Ill be honest, I couldve gone 1/2 a size bigger but they still fit good.
Great customer service, will complete my rating once I receive the boots. 4 stars for now!
Great customer support, good product for a great price
Awesome customer service. Any questions or concerns I had were addressed almost immediately!
Quick, easy and quality of boots exceeded my expectations.
They respond to my emails quickly.
Paid for 2 day shipping 3 business days later no boot no email for my tracking either
Fantastic customer service, thank you Brian.
Great price and customer service
Shipper sent the wrong order texted Brian in customer service and he late at night replied and took care of it also love there boots
