The Oakley Elite Assault Boot Makes its Civilian Debut

For years the Oakley Elite Assault Boot has been used by the U.S. Military for training and field operations. Just recently, Oakley released its Elite line to the public.

If it's the official boot of the army, you know these puppies aren't going to fall apart on you after one season. Employing military grade rubber and slash resistant textile created from a combination of stainless steel and carbon fiber, the Oakley Elite Assault Boot sounds like the ultimate all-purpose shoe, whether you're going to hike through the brush or infiltrate an enemy base.
