I think the soles were the key to Oakleys shoes. They always made a big deal about their 3-D, laser hydro something-or-other. I do like the 1 piece soles better than the newer ones with multiple materials fused together. They're just way more durable.
Personally, I love the Teeth. They look cool from underneath as well as at the sides, and never fail to get a glance in my Black/Yellows. Such an innovative design. Killer shoes.
I loved the Flesh sole. Amazing design - I actually like it better than the Bottlecap. Mine are still going strong after 5 years of hard wear. Amazing shoes, I wish I had another pair of them.
The soles have always been the selling point for me, though they do seem quite squeaky at times when wet! Also am a bit worried about how long they'll last till the tread wears down, as I use it most on cement and rough terrain.
And whoa, I have never seen the red Teeth Low design before. I want that one! I have the black Teeth Low, and I absolutely love the teeth. As one of my friend's put it, "They look like you're gonna stomp the hell out of someone!".
i have had the oakley shoes in my shop from the very first day oakley started making shoes ( SHOE ONE ), and now there are actually people who won't wear any other brand since the day they started wearing oakley shoes. this is no bullshit story in any way , and only proves that the quality / comfort / durability of these shoes are outstanding.
i personally have 3 favorites ; HIGH TOP SHOE ONE # 001
TEETH LOW # 323
RIPCORD # 896
(last numbers being color-sku's)
