OAKLEY ELITE ASSAULT 8" Coyote Military Boots

Built for authorized wear, field durability, and all-day comfort, the Oakley Elite Assault 8" Coyote Military Boot (FOF100097-86W) is designed for service members who need a rugged tactical boot that performs in garrison and in the field. The Coyote Brown color is AR 670-1 and AFI 36-2903 compliant, making it authorized for wear with OCP uniforms where approved by unit and service requirements.

The boot’s lightweight Cordura and suede upper delivers breathable, abrasion-resistant performance without unnecessary bulk. Underfoot, a Vibram® Litebase rubber outsole helps reduce outsole weight while maintaining durability, grip, and protection, while the Vibram® SPE lightweight midsole provides cushioning, flexibility, and support for long days on your feet. Finished with a molded EVA insert, braided nylon laces, and Oakley’s lace-lock system, the Elite Assault Boot is built for stability, traction, and mission-ready comfort.

Sizing & Fit Guide:

• Fit Profile: Supportive Military / Tactical Fit. The Oakley Elite Assault is built for authorized wear with a balance of garrison comfort and field-ready durability. It offers an 8-inch supportive profile with a lighter feel than many traditional combat boots.
  
  
• Sizing Advice: Start with your normal boot size. If you wear thick military socks, use aftermarket inserts, or prefer extra toe room during long shifts and field training, consider going up ½ size for added comfort.
  
  
• Pro Tip: The Cordura/suede upper is designed for breathable durability, but it is still smart to allow a short break-in period before long rucks, extended field training, or full-duty wear.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Are Oakley Elite Assault boots authorized for OCP uniform wear?

Yes. The Coyote Brown Oakley Elite Assault Boot is AR 670-1 and AFI 36-2903 compliant, making it authorized for wear with OCP uniforms where approved by Army and Air Force requirements.

• Are Oakley Elite Assault boots good for garrison and field use?

Yes. The Elite Assault is designed for both all-day comfort in garrison and rugged durability in the field, with a Cordura/suede upper, Vibram® Litebase outsole, and Vibram® SPE midsole for cushioning and traction.

• What is Vibram® Litebase, and why does it matter?

Vibram® Litebase is designed to reduce outsole weight and thickness while maintaining grip, durability, and protection. This helps the boot feel lighter without giving up reliable traction.

• Do Oakley Elite Assault boots run true to size?

Most buyers should start with their normal boot size. If you wear thick military socks, prefer more toe room, or add custom insoles, going up ½ size may provide a more comfortable fit.

• Are Oakley Elite Assault boots waterproof?

No. These boots are built with a breathable Cordura/suede upper for lightweight comfort and field mobility rather than a waterproof membrane. They are best suited for dry terrain, garrison wear, field training, and active tactical use.

• What is the difference between Oakley Elite Assault and Oakley Field Assault boots?

The Elite Assault focuses on authorized wear with newer lightweight Vibram® Litebase and SPE technology for reduced weight, cushioning, and flexibility. The Field Assault has a more traditional rugged field-boot build with a stitched-down Vibram® outsole and polyurethane midsole.
