Customer Reviews

Like other reviews of this boot have said it is extremely comfortable, however it does have its faults. I have owned 3 pairs of these boots is both 8" and 6". These boots simply do not last long, they wear out very quickly. I wore through the interior heal of the last pair i had in approximately six months. These boots are not made in the USA unfortunately. The tan colored version issued to certain branches of the military are made in the USA, and I would guess that they are of better quality. In the past I have worn Danner, Rocky and Lowa. The reason I switched to Oakley was because I was able to purchase them at 80 dollars a pair, which is a huge saving over the 200 I was paying for the Danner boots. One thing I have learned about boots is you get what you pay for. I have switched back to my Danner boots due to their superior materials and durability.

I bought a pair of these boots a few years ago and they are by far the best boots I have owned. The version I have are full leather but the new ones appear to be an updated version of them. In a life of hiking, camping, and time in the Army, I have worn a number of different boots. These are the most comfortable by far. They are light but still strong and feel solid. I have worn some other "performance boots" but they felt more like a glorified sneaker than a boot. I need my boot to still work and feel like a boot, just lighter and more comfortable. These fit the bill. Yes, they are expensive but you get what you pay for typically.
