hi guys does anyone out there have any first hand info regarding oakleys si assault boots before i pay the rather large price tag and how do they compare against the magmun classic and all leather boots if you have any recomendations i would be greatfull. thanks brad.

They're a lot better than Magnums, but they're still more sneakerish than any other (all leather) military boot.

They squeak on wet floors. They slip on ice. The treads wear faster than many other boots. They hold water when they get wet.



But they're comfortable, and decent boots for some purposes.

thanks man i'll bare that in mind

VERY squeaky and VERY slippery on wet floors. The black leather ones get extremely hot (hotter than normal black leather boots) in a hot, sunny environment.
On the good side, as pointed out, they're very comfortable outdoors and the thick sole is good for walking over rough terrain.

has anyone tried the 5.11 HRT and ATAC ?

The boots are great the only problem is when those get wet it take a few days to dry. Expensive but worht it.

Dangerously slippery on wet ground and wear out fast on active duty.
