The United States military teamed with Oakley to invent an assault boot specifically for the U.S. Elite Special Forces. The resulting military hardware exceeds the combat performance profile for durability, comfort and protection. The shoe variant of this technology is available now for civilian use. Engineered with a lightweight athletic design, the Elite Special Forces Standard-Issue Assault Shoe is shielded by abrasion resistant panels on soft top-grain leather. Comprehensive moisture control maximizes comfort. Advanced polymer EVA and premium urethane offer resilient shock absorption. High-NBS vulcanized rubber maintains traction over a full range of terrain.
