Belleville mini mil.
Minimalist jungle boot. Lightweight, dry fast, shell boot.
I wear with rocky goretex socks if I need water proof as they get wet easily, and functions way more efficiently than goretex lined boots. Black doesn't have vent holes but is a PU coated leather.
Don't undersized or the plastic heel will fuck your ankles. Works really well for me with heavy wool socks when you lift your ankle.
Really wide toebox.
Not a fan of nylon or 8 inches but it dried fast and stops abrasion.
Biggest con is lacing it up. I use a surgeons knot at the instep lace and skip the last two eyelets for a secure boot fit.
Also trying vivobarefoots minimalist boots with the Michelin soles and so far are pretty good.
For heels I used to wear Alfa Norwegian M77 (wide) and Sievi gt 7 xl (finnish wide). Alfa is a shell boot made to be worn with two socks. Sievi is a workers boots made very well.
Both are PU though and subject to hydrolysis if you aren't using them every week.
