When it comes to surviving the grueling challenges of the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program (RASP) and Ranger School, having the right footwear is crucial. The Belleville C320 Ultra-Light Assault Boot stands out as an exceptional choice for these demanding environments. During RASP I used the Garmont T8 Biffida and NFS. In Ranger School upon the recommendation of a friend of mine I purchased the Bellville C320 and let me tell you it was an absolute game changer. These boots are not only lightweight, but they dry out so incredibly fast. This is vitally important when you constantly have to dry your boots out. I also had the Garmont T8 NFS in Ranger School and it took 3 times as long to dry these boots out. I put the Bellville's through Hell and back in Ranger School, and they held up amazingly well. Don't buy any other boot. Here are some of the features of this King of boots.
1. Unparalleled Lightweight Design
At just 20 oz per half pair, the C320 is one of the lightest Berry Compliant boots available. This featherweight construction reduces fatigue during long marches and high-intensity activities.
2. Superior Comfort
The UL235 ULTRA-LITE® cushioning midsole provides exceptional comfort, crucial for maintaining focus during extended operations and training.
3. Excellent Durability
Despite its lightweight design, the C320 is built to last. Many users report these boots holding up for years, even through multiple combat deployments.
4. Enhanced Breathability
Medial and lateral dual ventilation zones help keep feet dry and comfortable, reducing the risk of blisters and foot-related issues.
5. Versatile Traction
The exclusive VIBRAM® "Incisor" outsole offers superior grip across various terrains, from urban environments to rugged wilderness.
6. Quick-Drying Construction
The combination of cattlehide leather and nylon fabric in the upper allows for faster drying, essential for maintaining foot health in wet conditions.
7. Military Compliance
Being AR 670-1 and AFI 36-2903 compliant ensures these boots meet military standards and can be worn throughout your career.
8. Athletic Performance
Built on an athletic strobel-stitch construction, the C320 provides the flexibility and responsiveness needed for high-speed, low-drag operations.
9. Minimal Break-In Period
Many users report that these boots are comfortable right out of the box, reducing the risk of blisters during the critical early stages of training.
10. Made in the USA
As a Berry Compliant product, the C320 is American-made, ensuring high quality and supporting domestic manufacturing. The Belleville C320 Ultra Light Assault Boot combines lightweight design, durability, comfort, and performance features that make it an ideal choice for the demanding environments of RASP and Ranger School. By choosing these boots, you're giving yourself a significant advantage in conquering the physical challenges that lie ahead.
