Lucky day scored 2 pair of Bellville boots

[vmax]

Wife texted a picture of these from Goodwill today
They were my size ..13..freaking rare find for me.

She ask if I was interested....well duh!

Said there were 2 pair..one with laces installed and another pair so new they hadn't been laced yet.

Both pairs look unworn to me.

The unlaced pair were zip up

She brought them home and it's like Christmas morning here.

They both fit perfectly and then she told me she only paid $30 for BOTH pairs!

(In before someone post they are POS and not worth $15 and I should have bought Danners)

You, sir, appear to have a keeper.
I don't know the brand, but they look well made and the "Made in USA" makes them valuable.

These are/were GI issue for the Air Force

Someone probably PCS'd out and donated them to Goodwill

This site shows them discounted but they were expensive

I have a pair Bellvilles that have served me well.. That is a good score a. Are they Goretex lined?

I don't think they are.

They are warm weather with vents and both of them are composite safety toe

I found this online about them
