Oakley S.I. Assault Boots

If you’ve seen the new Terminator Salvation, it’s hard to miss Christian Bale’s badass Oakley S.I. Assault boots. These boots are adapted from the same ones used by the U.S. special forces. They retail for $175, and can be purchased directly from Oakley.com, or any authorized Oakley dealer.

These assault boots made such an impact that they were even called out by Entertainment Weekly in the Style Hunter section of their June 26, 2009 issue.

And for you soldiers, you’ll be glad to know that the desert version of these boots comply with US Army Uniform Spec 670-1.

I’ve been a huge fan of the Oakley boot. However, recently I went out to purchase new pair and noticed that the boot was different. Instead of the 3 rows of stitching on the seams the boots I wear now, the ones I saw in both the store and the website only has 2 rows and the boot seems to be different. What gives? Did Oakley change my beloved boot or do they still make a “milspec” boot? Also, the logo on the boot is less subdued as well.

I’m pretty sure the one you got was the old version #11055. Current Oakley S.I Assault boots is #11096. they are pretty much the same boots with minor differences.
