Very light and comfortable. Not a heavy duty boot, but if you are looking for something lightweight this is it. Just think of these as high top tennis shoes that are tactical. When I was in the army and stationed in Panama we had the jungle boots, which had a heavier duty sole. I wear these for most occasions, except if I’m going to be encountering some heavy duty terrain such as serious mountainous terrain or an extremely cold environment. Only wish they were waterproof, especially for this price. Most boots at this price are waterproof.

These boots are very comfortable from the moment you put them on, and very light on the feet. So far, no complaints with the overall quality of these boots.

So far so good!
First, I've got some very tender feet and I'm fussy about how they fit. I purchased these boots because of what I have heard about them. "Comfortable right out of the box" was what I was looking for and so far so good! I have a 32 mile backpacking trip with a vertical gain of 4000'. I've been wearing these boots daily for the past couple of weeks and they are proving to be as advertised. I do wear an inner non-abrasive sock with an outer wool blend hiking sock and it's working out quite well. No blisters and the insole is conforming to my foot. I'll let you know after the hike how well they fare.

Terrific boots - I'm not in the military and I don't really need these as work boots but I wear them nonetheless, and I love them. Very comfortable, very sturdy and they look awesome.

The shoes felt a half size larger than marked. Other than that, the shoes are excellent, comfortable and light, despite their physical size.

Unusually comfy -
Ordered three pairs of boots -- ASOLO Flame and the Adidas GSG-9.2s along with this pair. Neither of the former fit me. This pair in 9W fits my 8.5EEE feet unusually well and have hiked a few miles on concrete in them without any problems, but have not tried to kick in a door in them yet.

Better than my last pair -
This is Oakleys 3rd version of the assault boot. As before, they are about a 1/2 size smaller than marked. This was true with the earlier versions to ensure your foot would not slide around in them. This is the lightest boot of its type which makes them feel like sneakers. Comfort is a premium and the cushioned sole prevents fatigue during long wear. My last pair lasted about 2 years and these should do the same. The upgrade on this version seems to be that they grip well on wet surfaces which was a problem before. I wear mine every day.

Too wide -
Love the look and I have heard nothing but good things from the many people I know that have these boots. I felt that I had no support in this boot because of the width. They fit a friend of mine, he loves them - easy enough, I'll order a new pair of Lowa Renegades...

Expected more from Oakley -
Old fashioned lacing, I'm talkin' WW1-era, makes getting in and out of boot tedious; boots in this price range should be easy to get in and out of without sacrificing snug fit. Glorified tennis shoes, very thin leather; I walk all day as part of my work, I'll be amazed if these last 6 months. Like the aggressive tread pattern though.

Boot felt comfortable right out of the box. I felt I could wear it at work as a Law Enforcement Officer or I could wear them on my days off. Laces that come from Oakley are too long.

When first received, it felt nice. Fit like a glove, but as it got broken in, it got loose. Wish I could afford another pair. I’d buy one that was at least a 1/2 size smaller and went with the regular width. The terrain here takes a toll on your boots and you've got your boots on all day and the good part of the night depending on what shift you're on.

Great boots -
Very comfortable and rugged. The only downside to these boots is that they look a little much like a glorified Reeboks tennis shoe when work with BDU's. But comfort-wise they rock. Zappos was solid too, as I placed an order for these on a Monday and received them Tuesday morning.

Oakley SI Assault Boot -
Great boot. It feels broken in right out of the box. Size is correct. It fits well with a light weight hiking sock. Great overnight delivery. I am a prior service army man and would recommend these boots for any light weight duty. The tan ones look great with blue jeans and/or khakis.

Awesome Police Boot -
I recently purchased a pair of these boots for work. Another sergeant has had his pair for over two years and showed them to me. The soles looked new after over two years of service. I ordered my boots yesterday evening and UPS delivered them today!!! Out of the box comfortable and very good looking. Zappos has earned by business!

The Best -
I now own about 20 pairs of Oakley shoes and boots. These are some of the first I ever bought, and I will say that without any question at all, they are the best high-top boots (or ANY boots for that matter) I've ever worn in my close to 60 years on the planet. I'm going on 3 years of (mostly) winter wear with these, and they are holding up nicely. I try to save them for the nastiest days and days that might have the nastiest surprises. Find an Oakley size that fits you nice and it will translate to every shoe/boot they make. I freely admit to being a huge fan of Oakley shoes/boots. I've worn everything and my life/work are very "foot demanding."

Oakley SI Assault Desert Boot is awesome!
The title should be SI Assault Athletic Shoe! Takes about 20 minutes of wear to break in and they are the most comfortable boot I have ever worn… and I spend my entire day in boots. I will definitely by another pair when these are worn out.

Very comfortable, very light weight. I use these for trail running and hill running. Great ankle support for my skinny, weak ankles. Feel like a pair of running shoes with high tops.

This is a great boot, I absolutely love it. I’ve been through many other military boots, and when a friend recommended these, I tried them right away. I’ll tell you that you won't be disappointed.
They are very comfortable straight out of the box, and look amazing too. Sizing runs about the same as any mil boot. If you've never worn mil boots before go at least a half size down from your sneakers.
And Zappos next day shipping was also very nice!

Durability?
I ordered these to take as a back up pair on a hunting trip and also to use in my rotation as a duty boot. After receiving it I was unhappy to see the leather was significantly thinner than on any of my other boots. I returned them due to the fact of very thin and soft leather. The abuse I put my footwear through I did not think the boots will justify the price.

I love these boots. I have them in desert tan and will buy them in black. They were very comfortable straight from the box. I would and have recommended these to everyone.

Oakley SI Assault Boots -
Absolutely awesome boots. No break in required. I've purchased loads of boots over the years and these feel great on day one. They aren't cheap but you will not be disappointed.

I must say, this shoe has the comfort one would expect from a quality shoe, not to mention the style, which looks good with just about anything. I would like to add that Zappos has the shoes and outstanding service second to none!

My son stationed in Afghanistan loved these.
My son who is stationed in Afghanistan asked us to send him some boots. They had to keep his feet cool and work well for the long hikes in the mountains. After considering many different types we ordered the Oakley's SI Assault boot. He liked the pair we sent so much he asked for a second pair. He only wishes they were water proof.

 |  | Selling Shoes Online?
Seems like selling shoes online would be a risky business venture. Usually you need to go to the retail store and try on several different shoes before you know exactly which one you want. Zappos makes the idea of selling shoes online as easy as can be. With their wide selection and no hassle free shipping both ways it is almost impossible to mess up the shoe selection process. Overall great shopping experience with Zappos. |  | ~ Ricardo , August 08 2008
