Anyone have some experience with the new oakely made in usa boots? I think most of the posts in this thread talking about oakley boots were the old made in wherever ones. I am talking about this one:



Anyone have these?

[BlackhawkCY]

I have the black ones. The old model ones were great went about 2X 50 km marches and were fine. As for the new i have not tested them yet but they did not feel as comfortable as the old model. The build quality appears to be the same except the sole which is of a different design. It is more of an offroad design were as the old ones appeared to be city oriented

I've seen numerous pairs of Oakley's worn in A'Stan by others (not me) start to fall apart after just a couple of months. It's always been the toe of the sole separating from the upper to start, followed by the rest of the sole peeling off. My old fashioned Vasques, on the other hand, seem indestructible. Danners are good, Bellewille and Wellco military boots are good... I don't have a very high opinion of "assault boots" that really seem to be nothing more than beefed up athletic shoes. They're probably fine for urban areas, but in more than 15 years of training and spending time in the field, I've never seen them take hard use very well.

for hard and intensive use the lowa is very comfortable also for urban areas

Neither.

The Magnums are a. crap and b. will cook your feet in hot weather.
The Altamas will be cold in winter.

Magnums will die on you very fast. I've been abusing BELEVILLE 700 USAF through this autumn-winter and felt great (2 pair of socks thin and thick wool). Gonna continue to abuse them all year long, but maybe you should buy separate boots for summer/winter.

thanks ill will choose BELEVILLE

thanks ill will choose BELEVILLE

Just choose them carefully (the pair) they are not magic and indestructible. But i'm and others who wear them around me are happy with them.
