ArtieSOakley Light Assault Sage 2 Boots
Are these boots any good?
$50 at LAPG, and I could use a pair of destructible light hikers, but they are no good to me if they're crap.

BeancookerBetter than Nike boots, but not on the same level as Asolo, Vasque, La Sportiva, or Lowa.

PossibleZombieI wore the SI 8" version of those boots for years before I found better boots from Garmont. I paid much more for my Oakley's than $50. They are comfortable but they aren't the lightest nor do they last as long as others. For $50 it's a good price and a good boot though.

ArtieSThanks. This is kind of what I am looking for. I have an expensive pair of goretex Solomon boots for serious work, but I don't like to put miles on them for things like cutting the grass.

Mr.9mmI bought them earlier this year from LAPG. Very light compared to a leather boot. Great for yard work. Allow a couple of days of break in before you wear them for serious use or use mole skin. They are very stiff in the heel area and I blistered my heel by not breaking them in.

I just looked at the URL in your link. Only color showing is sage green, I don't really care about color, but the largest size available is 11.5. I need 13.

corsairThose boots are assault boots, designed for indoor/paved/urban environments, they're not made for hiking or, the trail, they're too soft underfoot and provide little support, best used as a garrison boot. The direct action bubba's who they were targeted for, have moved towards mid-height boots and, approach shoes and less boots.
The best 'inexpensive' hikers on the market are Merrill's Moab-series of footwear.
Spend a bit more, get better materials, design, construction and most important, fit. La Sportiva, Salomon, Lowa, Garmont, Keen, Scarpa, Salewa, etc..
