Belleville has some funky sizes.  I wear a 10W on regular jungles, 9W on the 390s and 10R on the 790s.

My 790s fit tight until I get my foot all the way in.  I've only worn them to try them on, so I don't know if they stretch.  I'll take the 390s over the 790s anyday.

When I was issued my 790's at REF in Kuwait, they stated to go up one full size.  I'm normally a 10W and had to go to 11W on the 790's.

My 390 on the other hand fit loose in 10W so I need to go to a 91/2 wide.  I agree with FDC on the 390's.  They may not be gortex but they are more comfortable IMO.

Bottom line with Belleville, try the boot on and test walk them.
