Product Description
When Oakley designs a work boot, they take what they learned from people whose 9-to-5 is 24/7 in hostile terrain. The people who travel anywhere on a moments notice and demand as much from their gear as they do from themselves. So if you want a comfortable work boot that can stand up to abuse and get the job done, this is the take-home lesson: get it with proven durability, all-terrain traction and waterproof protection like the Oakley Tactical Six Boots for men..

I have been buying tactical boots from Oakley for six years now. I normally break the last on a pair of boots (Magnum, Bates... etc)in about four months (215 lbs - size 8 feet: not a good mix!!) The treads on these Oakleys will go before the last breaks and boot becomes floppy. The traction is great and the ankle support is what you would expect. Easy to put on, easy to lace, looks good... this is as close to the perfect boot as I have found!!
I highly recommend!
All the best,
Jay

I am always puzzled at the fan service paid to Oakley; they charge a very high amount for their products, which in the experience of this buyer, either don't do what they are advertised to do, or break after less than one year. And, seeing as how Oakley PRIDES themselves on being the top choice for athletes and "Special Forces around the world", I'm not sure how they keep getting away with it. Prestige is a powerful thing, I suppose.
First off - comfort. These boots are comfortable, for the first two weeks. After that, the inner lining of the boot, which is nothing more than upholstered padding, is worn off by contact with the foot. And this was just from me walking around campus.
Second - the fit. I ordered a size down, and there was still nearly two inches of space for my foot to slide around in.
Third - the "waterproofing". Don't be fooled, "waterproof" material and "seam-sealed" construction will give you a waterproof boot; unfortunately, these boots are lacking the latter. So, the waterproof material of the boot beads and channels water into the seam of the tongue that is not sealed, and places it directly on your foot. I stepped in water 3-4" deep, and it ran into the shoe like I was wearing a pair of crocs. I find it weird that none of the other reviewers mention this, but they are probably still too busy staring at the "O" symbol to ever fathom that something could be wrong.
Finally - The price. I don't really need to extrapolate, if you are going to sell something for this much money, it better perform. I highly doubt SF teams are deploying wearing these, and if they are, they are having to buy new boots after each rotation, and wrap them in duct tape when encountering water over 10 mm high.
Seriously, go buy some Danners or Timberlands, and get what you pay for, instead of feeding the money machine that is Oakley.

I have been wearing these boots for the past 3 years, working in the Middle East. Great wearing,, Comfortable in all types of weather, reliable in any condition.
There are many new, lighter boots on the market,, however as with running shoes,, they become too hot wearing them all day. Basic Military boots too high or not enough support.
These boots will be comfortable and reliable. Whether you are going light or packed to the hilt.
Highly recommended
