From the street to the field, the Tactical Research "Chrome" is designed to perform in numerous environments. Through the use of cutting edge "hot fusion" technology, the exo-skeletal frame makes this boot both extremely supportive and highly functional. In addition, the hybrid lacing closure system provides secure, customized fit and relieves pressure at the top of the foot for maximized comfort.
The 916ZCT Boot has all the great features of the 916Z, but further adds a composite toe to keep your feet safe from impact. The composite toe meets ASTM F2412-11 and F2413-11 standards for impact and compression and is EH rated. The composite toe is non-metallic, so it weighs less than a traditional steel toe and does not conduct heat or cold. This results in the protection you need but without the extra weight and discomfort you definitely don't need, especially when you're on the move.
The upper is made out of smooth cowhide leather and Destination P nylon mesh. The TR Chrome features a compression molded EVA midsole and a double pour polyurethane cushioned insert. The rugged, long-wearing outsole is made of exclusive StreetNav is non-marking, oil and slip resistant rubber. The Aero-Spacer mesh lining wicks away moisture from your feet and makes this boot breathable as well. The side zip with molded security overlay makes for easy on and off. Low profile lace-lock hook and "ghilly" style lacing system provides a secured and customized fit. The StreetNav outsole has a unique cleat and lug design for superior traction in multiple environments.
These are men's boots. For women's sizes, order 2 size down from your regular shoe size (ie. if you wear a woman's size 8, chose a size 6).

Unfortunately, not all boot brands fit the same. For this reason, we would like to offer a few sizing tips that will help you get a better BELLEVILLE fit:
-
-
CHECK YOUR SIZE:
Belleville boots are about 1 to 1½ full sizes larger in fit than your normal shoe size when measuring on a standard Brannock shoe device. The difference depends on the type of boot you choose: soft toe versus safety toe, hot weather versus insulated or waterproof, etc.
-
SIZING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE MINI-MiL (TR101, TR102, TR103) MINIMALIST BOOTS:
Due to the wider shape of the toe box, we have found that the MINI-MiL® tends to run on the small/short side. For this reason, we recommend customers order a half size up from your normal shoe size. For instance, if you wear a size 10, then we would recommend you order a 10.5 in the MINI-MiL®.
-
GET SOME BOOT SOCKS:
Try on the boots with a pair of boot socks that you will normally wear with the boots.
-
PLACE & LACE:
It is important that your foot is properly placed inside the boots when selecting a size. Proper foot placement requires that the lace is drawn snug at the bottom of the lacing system. This will prevent your foot from sliding forward too far and keep your heel properly placed against the back of the boot. To improve the fit of the boot, try loosening or tightening the laces at different parts of the boot until you get the perfect fit.
-
CHECK THE LENGTH:
Length-wise, when your heel is placed against the back of the boot, you should have a slight amount of room in the front of the boots to wiggle your toes.
-
CHECK THE WIDTH:
Width-wise, your boots should feel a little snug, but not tight.
-
TAKE A STROLL:
Walk around to see how the boots feel. Make sure your heel stays in place and not sliding up and down (this can cause blisters).
WOMEN’S SIZES
Belleville does offer many boot styles that are specifically manufactured for women. All Belleville style numbers that begin with an “F” indicate a boot specifically designed and sized for women. If a particular style of boot is not available in women’s sizes, we recommend ordering the boot 2 full sizes smaller.
