I tested the tan oakley boots I bought in Bangkok in a sports store for a crazy US$290 and used it after training in them last summer on a 225km march on tar sealed roads and on gravel, and thru palm oil estates and through jungle on the sandakan-ranau deathmarch memorial and the boots were extremely comfortable BUT I must agree they dont last...
They were certainly meant for use in an urban setting and for organizations that actually buy the boots for the tropps or staff...
The soles wore down over the distance and tears from the gravel started ripping the sides of the boots...
Also got tendinities of the feet which was a killer as I still had 80KM to go and that was the last 2 days....that was a painful experince...
