I had ran these boots over seas so these were fielded pretty hard usage. These boots fell apart a little over 3 months. I was beyond pissed at these boots. I had some old issued boots that had made it through my last deployment and were worn in perfect to the point they fit like a glove. But because they were so beat up looking I was told I should get a better high dollar pair before shipping out. I decided to go with Oakley's only because I love their ballistic glasses which are some of the best money I ever spent. I wish I could say the same for these boots.

First I will say comfort is great. These bran new felt a pinch better then my 4 year old worked in military issue boots. Which is one of the main reasons I got these boots. And I cant knock how good I thought they looked. And since they advertise to special forces I figured they do even better for just standard infantry. Well they didn't! The outer material just started to fall apart. Then the soles of the boots started to wear down really fast like the maruaders or jump boots soles seemed too. Then I got them snagged on the front while in a hummer and tore a hole in the boot.

In short I do a lot of hunting and hiking in my part time. And I know these boots wouldn't hold up on the usage I put my boots through for those activities. The only place I could see these boots being used in the military is if you sit all day and just want something comfy on your feet. Any usage outside I wouldn't use these boots or count on them at all. I do take great care of my gear and did with these boots over seas and it wasn't care just factory construction that is lacking IMO. There are so many better boots out there for the price even the converse held up for a buddy of mine for 2 deployments and these boots cant even last through one? Oakley needs to take these boots off and do a complete redo. Sad to say but if they did Id prolly get another pair just how much I trust the name Oakley. These boots just need to be built a hell of a lot tuffer.
