Oakley’s Elite Assault Boot Stomps Bad Guys, Wallets

October 29th, 2009 | Product Announcement | Posted by Rob Curtis

Leave it to Oakley to combine stainless steel and carbon fiber to make a fabric that can withstand a blowtorch. When they say the Elite Assault Boot is flame resistant, they mean it. Check out the intro video on the product page that shows a penny melting on the fabric. The stuff appears totally unimpressed by the heat.

Other features that come with the $500 price tag include a tread pattern specifically designed for stealth, puncture resistant sole. slash resistant upper and some high-grade leather to keep them from looking like a the 22nd century boots they so clearly are.

I’m thinking these may add something to your awesomely expensive Arc’teryx Veilance outfit (which is on sale now.)

   but if they reach the comfort level of the other boots, that is still a mighty fine boot
