Functional Contemporary Versatile Boots

LALO's Rapid Assault Boots are Ready for All Seasons

— January 6, 2021 — Fashion
LALO introduces a new Rapid Assault Boot for the season, designing it to be highly versatile and suitable to wear during any season of the year. The utilitarian look also infuses the shoe with modern design elements, making it both functional and casual.

There are two different height options to the boots, with either a 6' or 9' selection. Some details of the boots include its sturdy Cordura uppers and the carbonized rubber toe caps. This sits on top of EVA midsoles and features passive moisture drainage systems in the design. Without compromising the shoe's lightweight sensibilities, there is antimicrobial lining and slip-fighting sole units. The colorways available include either a neutral olive green, black, or camouflage.
