Hi
Does anyone know how the Oakley boots fit? Do they fit true to size? should they be ordered a 1/2 size larger? full size larger? Etc.
Thanks for your input
(Only those that have worn Oakley Boots please respond) No offense to others meant :wink2:

Well Edie...I dont have a pair of Oakley boots but I wanted to add to your question!! :D
I am just curious on the sizing in the womens sizes!!!
Stacee
Rumor has it that your feet are as large as Bigfoots??? Is that true??? Maybe they won;t make Oakley's big enough to fit you... you better start training barefoot........ toughen those soles of your feet up to handle all that rucksack marching we're gonna have to do....!
tee hee!!!:chuckle:chuckle:chuckle:chuckle:eek:

I'm not sure about woman sizing.. but they fit equivalent to standard running shoes for 'dude' sizing - no adjustments were needed.

Well, I have something else that is probably bigger than yours...can't help it if you are the jealous type!!! :chuckle:chuckle;)
that's true we were talking earlier about the size of your derrierre... and how you were going to waddle through your 2 mile run during your apft......... just think while we're learn to take apart our weapons, clear buildings etc..... you'll be at remedial PT..........
HOOAH!!!!
This post is supposed to be about Oakley boots and the fit. Not about how big my feet and posterior view are!! Although there is nothing wrong with either. Once again I maintain my postition that you are just jealous of my other attributes.
Now please retract your claws and let these nice people post, would you!?
:devil:

Posting was all in good fun... people.
Stacee and I and hopefully Kelly are planning on going to OBC together and are interested in purchasing some Oakley boots prior to going. Since we cannot find any retailers to go try them we thought we would see if anyone on the forum has worn them and whether the sizing was off and what their overall experience w/ Oakley boots is.
Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!
I feel they fit like normal shoes...
they are more shoe like then anything else - which I do not like. I do not feel they are good load bearing boots and broke down faster then my issue boots. That being said I like standard issue boots and would never spend money elsewhere. My friends purchased them - they held up good in garrison but went to crap while deployed.. my 2 cents.
BUT if you do feel like purchasing - treat yourself right by using your active duty card to create an account and order them through oakley's discount program.

Thank you for your input JC, its good to know that the Oakleys do not last.

On the topic of Oakleys... I was looking to order a pair of ballistic sunglasses from their SI site, but noticed that they all have the Oakley "O" on the frame. When I was on active duty (back when the Earth was young) sunglasses with logos were unauthorized in uniform (even out of formation) is this still true, or can we wear the Oakleys?
Sorry for the slight derail of your thread, Lahlee. But I was also curious about their boots... glad to get some firsthand input.
