Oakley Light Assault 2 Coyote Leather Military Boots

Built for authorized OCP wear, lightweight mobility, and all-day comfort, the Oakley Light Assault 2 Coyote Military Boot (11188-86W) combines the utility of a military boot with the comfort and maneuverability of a training sneaker. The Coyote Brown color is AR 670-1 and AFI 36-2903 compliant, making it suitable for approved Army and Air Force uniform wear with Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) uniforms.

The upper is made from flesh-out bovine leather and durable 1,000-denier Cordura nylon, giving the boot a lightweight, breathable feel with rugged abrasion resistance. Underfoot, an injection-molded EVA midsole and molded EVA insert provide cushioning, arch support, and shock absorption for long days in garrison, training, patrol, or field use. A rugged slip-resistant rubber outsole helps maintain traction on uneven or challenging surfaces, while the metal speed-loop lacing system with Lace Lock technology keeps the fit secure and mission-ready.

Sizing & Fit Guide:

• Fit Profile: Lightweight Military / Athletic Tactical Fit. The Oakley Light Assault 2 is designed to feel more like a training sneaker than a heavy combat boot while still offering 8-inch tactical support.
  
  
• Sizing Advice: Start with your normal boot size. If you wear thick military socks, use aftermarket insoles, or prefer extra room in the toe box, consider going up ½ size for added comfort.
  
  
• Pro Tip: The flesh-out leather and Cordura upper is designed to feel comfortable quickly, but wearing the boots for a few shorter duty days or training sessions before extended field use is still recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Are Oakley Light Assault 2 Coyote boots approved for OCP uniform wear?

Yes. The Oakley Light Assault 2 in Coyote Brown is built to meet AR 670-1 and AFI 36-2903 requirements, making it authorized for OCP uniform wear where approved by Army and Air Force regulations. Its 8-inch height, coyote color, and compliant materials make it a popular choice for service members who want a lighter, sneaker-like military boot.

• Are these boots better for rucking or light-and-fast movement?

The Light Assault 2 is best for light-and-fast movement, garrison wear, training, air assault-style operations, and long days on your feet. At approximately 14 oz. per boot, it is built for speed and reduced fatigue. For very heavy rucks over rough terrain, some users may prefer a stiffer, more structured boot designed specifically for load-bearing support.

• Are Oakley Light Assault 2 boots good for hot weather?

Yes. The flesh-out bovine leather and 1,000D Cordura® nylon upper is designed to be lightweight, breathable, and abrasion resistant. The Cordura panels help release heat during warm-weather training, dry-terrain use, and long shifts, making the boot a strong option for users who want ventilation without giving up tactical durability.

• What makes the Oakley Light Assault 2 feel different from traditional combat boots?

The Light Assault 2 feels more like a training sneaker than a heavy combat boot. The injection-molded EVA midsole, molded EVA insert, flexible slip-resistant outsole, and 14 oz. lightweight build help reduce foot, knee, and leg fatigue during long days of standing, walking, patrol, or training.
