When the U.S. Elite Special Forces needed footwear for assault missions, they came to Oakley. The lives of these soldiers depend on their gear, and there can be no greater compliment to a company’s dedication to performance technology.

The military put Oakley’s design through the punishment of endless marches, fast-rope helicopter insertions and low-altitude parachute jumps. Every specification had to exceed the combat performance profile for durability, comfort and protection. After testing in urban, mountain, desert, snow and jungle environments, the boot was deemed worthy of the U.S. Elite Special Forces. A high-performance variant of this military hardware was made available to the general public.

The idea behind the Elite family is to exceed “the best” in order to achieve the ultimate. Put simply, we wanted to make a design that could take soldiers to hell and back. The new Elite Assault Boot answers that wish with everything we envisioned and more.

ELITE ASSAULT BOOT

Oakley’s partnership with the U.S. Armed Forces began in the 1980s. The alliance was formed to develop new technologies that improve the safety, comfort and performance of our soldiers. This initiative in research and development continues to produce combat-ready equipment. From the billions spent each year on defense, these are some of the dividends.

Puncture Resistance
This Elite footwear is made with a puncture-resistant sole that utilizes Lenzing® material, a fire-resistant composite of woven fibers bonded in layers. These layers combine thermoplastic films and resins with micronized substances. Translation: When a soldier blows the front of a building off and enters to clear the area, this footwear offers unbeatable protection against exposed nails, glass and splintered materials that can penetrate the bottom of the foot.

Traction and Durability
The outsole of our original S.I. Boot design was different for the military version; its technology was not made available to the general public. The outsole of the Elite Assault Boot is molded from an innovative rubber compound made by the highly regarded Vibram® Company, and this new design — now within the grasp of the public — exceeds the performance and protection profiles of the original boot. The material resists oils, fuels, chemicals and even ultraviolet light, maintaining superior durability while providing the sure footing of dependable traction.

Firewall
Oakley has been engineering racing footwear for years, utilizing patented CarbonX® lining that exceeds NFPA testing standards for protection against heat and flame. CarbonX will not ignite or burn even when exposed to temperatures exceeding 2600° F for more than 120 seconds, and this is because the fibers carbonize then expand, eliminating any oxygen content within the fabric. The material acts as a thermal barrier and radiant heat deflector, outperforming all flame retardant fibers and fabrics currently available.

The inner structure of this new footwear combines CarbonX with nonwoven batting to encapsulate the foot in a shield of protection. The outer structure blends CarbonX technology with a new kind of shielding, described below.

Slash Shield
The exterior layer of the Elite Assault Boot is constructed from full-grain leather and panels of flexible, breathable CarbonX CX, a newly developed material that combines the proven heat and flame protection of CarbonX with woven wire made of medical-grade stainless steel. This provides slash resistance and optimizes durability in critical zones while maintaining the comfort of breathability, as with a textile.
