We believe in upgrading tried and true military footwear that has stood the test of time. From real leather insoles and midsoles to leather goodyear welts. Unsurpassed comfort that molds to the users feet-thus assisting in good foot health by supporting the arch and internal muscles. Our footwear is not "gym-shoe technology" style. Thus they Break In-(NOT BREAK DOWN) over time. The other guys gym-shoe boots-break down after you start wearing them-they are not re-soleable and if not replaced over time will cause undue stress on the wearers feet-ankles-shins-calfs-knees and lower back muscles and bones. We have military and police experience-that over 25years proves this. Thats why we started OKI Brand Boots! To provide serious boot wearers a BETTER Alternative!
