Belleville Boot doesn’t publish a first responder discount of its own, but GovX lists exclusive Belleville Boot discounts for first responders, and registering with GovX is free. GovX doesn’t print a percentage on its Belleville page, so what you save is something you find out on GovX, not on Belleville’s site.
Belleville says it is the oldest and leading manufacturer of boots for the U.S. Military, beginning with its first combat boot supply order during WWI, and that it was founded in 1904. It’s a 5th-generation family-owned company based in Belleville, IL, and its About page says it develops styles for the specialized needs of all military branches, law enforcement and public safety agencies. The site sorts boots into Military, Public Safety and Training, and the home page features an all-new BV911 Station Boot next to the Flyweight MXG, a steel toe boot made in the USA.
How To Get The Belleville Boot First Responder Discount
The route is GovX. Pick the group that fits your job on GovX’s eligibility page, then create a free account. GovX says law enforcement means federal, state and local officers, including state police and highway patrol, sheriff’s departments, city police departments and correctional facilities. Fire means full-time or volunteer firefighters, including municipal fire departments, the National Parks Service, the US Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Medical workers means people working in the emergency medical field, including EMTs, paramedics and registered nurses. GovX’s Belleville page says registration is free for life.
Once you’re in, shop Belleville Boot on GovX. GovX also says that joining automatically gives you a GOVX ID, which you can use to verify your Military or First Responder status at partner websites, so it’s worth keeping the login handy.
What Belleville’s Own Site Offers Instead
Belleville does have a discount route on its own site, but it isn’t built for first responders. Its SmartPay Verification page says Belleville is proud to offer its products for direct purchase by Federal Government and Military personnel using the GSA SmartPay card. You enter the first four digits of the card, and once your status is validated you’re sent to the discounted site to make your purchase. That’s a card-based route for federal and military buyers, so a city firefighter or a county paramedic without a GSA card isn’t who it was written for. The same page sends eligible GSA buyers to GSA Advantage for Federal Supply Schedule purchases.
What GovX Lists For Belleville
GovX’s Belleville page carries the tagline “Unyielding Ground. Uncompromising Boots.” and filters for Composite Toe, Steel Toe, Tactical, Waterproof and Water Resistant. Belleville’s own home page names a few lines: the Khyber TR550 hot weather multi-terrain boot, the Mini-Mil TR105 minimalist training boot, the 520 Moto ultra light assault boot and the Flyweight C320 ultra light assault boot. Which of those GovX carries can change, so look at the GovX page for the exact pair you want before you plan around it.
What To Confirm Before You Buy
GovX doesn’t print a percentage on its Belleville page, so confirm your price after you join and compare it with what you’d pay on Belleville’s own site. If your department sets a footwear requirement, check the style’s details on Belleville’s site first. Its FAQ page lists which styles are flight approved for the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps, which is a handy reference if your gear has to meet a military spec. Belleville’s customer line is 800-376-6978.
