LALO (pronounced lah-low) stands for Light Assault Lowviz Operator. This entirely new line of footwear is the brainchild of Navy SEAL Veteran Nathanael Roberti who was inspired by the memory of comrades lost in Operation Red Wings to provide purpose built footwear for the special operator. This video gives you a great introduction to what’s behind the brand and a few glimpses of what’s to come. Look for exclusive content from SSD soon featuring this new line of footwear.
So maybe Murdered Out Black isn’t your color? So how about a pair of Salomon Quest 4D in Absolute Brown?
This is the boot I have turned to for years when I am looking for something to deal with serious terrain. They are extremely lightweight and require little to no breaking time. The Quest 4D offers a great deal of ankle support and incorporates a Gore-Tex liner.
Previously only available from a TLS vendor for unit and agency orders the Absolute Brown color is now an exclusive from TD for commercial sales. It goes great with AOR, MARPAT, and OCP camouflage.
In May we gave you your first glimpse of the All Black variant of the popular Salomon XA Pro 3D MID GTX. This limited “Murdered Out” color is is now available from Tactical Distributors and US Elite Gear.

The total cost for building the facility, shipping it to and constructing it in Afghanistan, hiring and training workers, purchasing raw materials for one year of production, and other expenditures is $500,000. They’ve even outlined the distribution of their funding requirements:
Fully funded, Combat Flip Flops’ EPF will provide:
Additionally, if this comes off, Combat Flip Flops will become the #1 footwear and #1 textile exporter of Afghanistan. Donate and/or spread the word, if you can and get in on some cool rewards.
