These are the shoe/lowcut version of the Oakley Assault Boots. These retail for around $155.00, so the shoe version costs almost 2 times more then the Converse Tactical Boots I also own. Are they worth it? Yes they are.
I went with the lowcut version as an "everyday" work shoe. Fortunately I wear shorts almost daily so the lowcuts make less of a "militant" impression.
The shoe itself conforms to the foot nicely. The tread pattern is great on loose sandy areas. Wearing them daily for work they breath well and don't overheat the feet.
