Spy shots of Oakley’s new water shoe combat boot

Oakley is jumping into the maritime ops footwear pool with their newest boot. We got a look at it recently and it looks like a winner for hot weather,  jungle and over-the-beach missions. We didn’t get much in the way of details, mostly because it’s still a work in progress.

The large screened holes pass water and sweat while the siping (razor-thin slits in the sole) improve traction in wet conditions. The upper is made from Cordura and a Teflon impregnated leather; and, no, Oakley wouldn’t tell us who the father is. You can ask them at Shot Show later this month when they may bring the shoe out from behind the curtain.
