1.0 out of 5 stars Lots of $$$, Zero delivery, August 1, 2010

This review is from: Oakley Men's Tactical Six Hiking Boot (Apparel)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars These boots are worth every penny, April 17, 2008

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than the SI, January 5, 2010

This review is from: Oakley Men's Tactical Six Hiking Boot (Apparel)

I returned a pair of Oakley's SI Assault boots and bought these to replace them. The SI Assault felt more like a tennis shoe than a boot. But these fit and feel like BOOTS. They are very lightweight and have a rugged-enough sole and were comfortable out of the box. I've got a 6 foot 4, 215 lb frame and didn't have to worry about breaking them in at all, just put them on, laced them up and tramped around in them all day without any discomfort at all. I found them to be sized just right as well, so I wouldn't buy a size different from what you normally wear.

The only qualm I have is with the tongue, which is too short. When you lace them all the way up and tie the laces the tongue doesn't stretch up far enough to keep the laces clear of your leg. The tongue should at least have a little clearance over the top of the boot. Other than that, this boot is aces.
