Winter is almost upon us. To help you prepare for the coming cold season Extreme Outfitters is offering a smoking deal on their exclusive Bates 400G insulated boots. Check them out. They don’t really look like cold weather boots do they? They actually contain 400G of Thinsulate insulation and are available in both 6? and 9? heights in Mojave and Tan. Now, the best part. They are only $79.99, regardless of color or model.
The LF Assault Boot is available in 6″ and 8″ models. It features a directional, non-slip lug Vibram sole with a full grain leather and Cordura upper. Additionally, the boots incorporate a Lenzi puncture proof layer in the sole as well as Trenchcoat, a proofing treatment that protects from mud, dirt, oil, gasoline, and rain.
Offered in Black and Desert in both US Made and overseas variants.
A few months ago the owner of Unleashed Tactical Equipment linked me up with the Canadian brand, Ironlace. It’s a bootlace brand. I know it sounds mundane, but broken laces suck. Sure, you can use 550 cord but even they don’t offer these features. In addition to 1600 lbs of tension, Ironlace is virtually chemical proof, UV ray resistant, water proof, abrasion resistant, and heat resistant up to 630 deg F.
They offer laces in 33″, 45″, 54″, 63″, 72″, 84″, 96″, and 108″ in both Black and Brown. However, for military personnel, the 72″ model seems to be the most popular and they are also available in Olive Mojave.
Be sure to see them with Provengo, their exclusive US distributor, in booth #3056. Provengo will not only be giving demo’s but they will also be giving out 100 pairs of Ironlace Olive Mojave 72” boot laces to Devil Dogs attending the event!
Available Mid-December, the new Tachyon takes lightweight to a whole new level. Weighing in at 13 oz for a size 10, it integrates an encapsulated EVA midsole with a fully rubberized outsole. There’s no exposed EVA on the bottom of this boot and provides slip and POL resistance. Additionally, the insole is of PU to last the life of the boot.
The Tachyon features a fully synthetic upper with a coated toe to increase service life. Finally, you may notice the low rocker design and running shoe profile of the boot.
Look for them in Tan, Sage Green and Black.
Combat Flip Flops has run into a setback in the production of their line of footwear.
Dear Combat Flip Flops Fans,
It is with disappointment that we deliver news about another Combat Flip Flops setback. The Combat Flip Flops team traveled to Kabul last week to take delivery of the initial run of AK-47’s, Tuck-Tucks, and Poseidons. Upon initial inspection, we found 100% of the footwear failed due to material issues. Post assembly, it was extremely clear that the footwear cannot be delivered to our customers.
This is not an Afghan issue. The responsibility is on our shoulders.
On an good note, we sourced two new factories and produced samples that exceed CFF standards for quality and production capacity.
The CFF team is executing a contingency plan that has the initial run footwear delivered to worldwide dealers and customers by Christmas with a much larger volume of Men’s and Women’s footwear for delivery in Spring 2013. If you have any questions or would like a refund for your previously purchased footwear, please email us at info@combatflipflops.com. We truly appreciate the support and patience of this community. Thank you.
Griff
CEO
Combat Flip Flops
It is unfortunate that CFF has run into this setback. I’ve spoken at length with the folks who have worked to bring this vision to reality and I know how difficult it has been to engage with Allies at the economic level, especially in a combat zone. They have been up front about these struggles and will work through this latest challenge. Thanks guys for helping to drain the swamp. It’s impossible to win when you’re up to your ass in alligators.
