oakley military gear Oakley Light Assault 6" Black Tactical Boots

Built for professional duty wear, fast movement, and long-shift comfort, the Oakley Light Assault 6" Black Tactical Boot (12099-001) is designed for law enforcement, security, government personnel, and tactical professionals who prefer a lower-profile boot without sacrificing support. The 6-inch height offers more ankle mobility than a traditional 8-inch duty boot while still delivering the polished appearance and performance needed for uniform work.

Constructed from 1.6–1.8mm full-grain Nappa bovine leather, this boot provides a durable, professional surface that can be polished for inspections and daily uniform standards. Underfoot, an injection-molded EVA midsole and molded EVA insert help absorb impact from concrete, asphalt, station floors, and long patrol shifts, while the slip-resistant rubber outsole provides dependable traction on wet floors, pavement, and urban surfaces. Finished with metal speed-loop lacing, anti-IR coated hardware, and 100% braided nylon laces, the Oakley Light Assault 6" is built for duty-ready comfort, speed, and a sharp professional look.

FEATURES:

• Polishable Duty Leather: Made with 1.6–1.8mm full-grain Nappa bovine leather that can be polished for a clean, professional uniform appearance.

Sizing & Fit Guide:

• Fit Profile: Athletic / Streamlined Duty Fit. The Oakley Light Assault 6" is designed for agility and professional wear, with a lower-profile feel than an 8-inch boot and enough support for daily patrol or security work.
  
  
• Sizing Advice: Most buyers should order their normal men’s boot or athletic shoe size. If you wear thicker duty socks, add aftermarket insoles, or prefer more toe room, consider going up ½ size for added comfort.
  
  
• Women’s Conversion: These boots are listed in men’s sizing. Women should generally size down 1.5 sizes from their standard women’s shoe size. For example, a women’s 8.5 typically converts to a men’s 7.
  
  
• Pro Tip: Because the full-grain leather is designed to polish and hold a professional appearance, allow a short break-in period before wearing them for a full long shift or extended patrol.
