I have worn the Oakleys every day at work for over a year. Very happy with the Oakleys.
I've got a pair on right now that I bought at discount from
USSTANDARDISSUE.com and have had for over 1.5 years now. They are like
wearing sneakers they are so comfortable.
Long time ago when I
was doing some instructor training I saw some guys wearing them and
asked what they were. These are guys that like me now were on their feet
constantly, often on the range for long periods of time and I took to
heart their recommendation.
When it comes to my feet, I'm like
Lt. Dan. Wear good socks and don't frigging skimp on boots. Yeah I've
got some cheap foot wear but the stuff I wear all day for several days
or for long periods of time when I'm on my feet on hard surfaces for 12+
hours, it's going to be Danner or Oakley quality. Nothing else really
has proven itself the way these products have. Hell I was re-coating some 5 year old Ft. Lewis Danners one day when I probably applied too much heat to the boot and saw a separation in the heel section of the sole. Danner took the boots back and sent me a brand new pair no questions asked. When was the last time someone replaced your 5 year old boots with a brand new $380 pair of new boots? Some retailer or the mfg in China sure as fuck isn't going to that now are they?
Buy once, cry once versus crying because you didn't spend right the first time.
