Hello everyone . New member here from the DC area however I've been a longtime lurker . It's great to finally join up !
My latest Oakley product acquisition adventure has been to locate a pair of boots and a pair of shoes . I got a new contract and will be deploying to the Middle East in December . I had my eye on the SI-6 boots in Coyote for a long time and just couldn't find them in my size 9 and color of choice . I must've driven hundreds of miles and placed dozens of calls until I found the last pair at an Oakley Vault in Florida and persuaded the manager of the local vault to call them and have them shipped over here . Man what a headache but I'm glad I've finally found them !
The other shoe is a much older one which I've worn twice in my previous 2 deployments . They are the SABOT LOW in desert color ( either V1 or V2 ) . Excellent shoes , they have served me very well however it's IMPOSSIBLE to find a pair today in either version . I wear the shoes more often than the boots so I'm quite bummed .
So there it is , again it's great to be here and I'm sure others must have resorted to much more extreme measures to acquire their beloved Oakley product of choice in comparison to my latest adventure lol but I still thought I would share with you . Thanks everyone !
