OTB – S.A.R. Boots
The OTB S.A.R. (Search and Rescue) Boots are from the OTB Tactical Water Footwear line. Just picked these up on sale direct from OTB for $39.95 plus shipping.
First impression are these are very comfortable. Multiple insert systems allows for boots to accommodate thick socks or neoprene booties to bare feet. Will have water usage data soon.
The ultimate maritime tactical boot that is great for any operation in or around the water. The SAR will be your boot of choice due to its superior ankle support, fit, and drainage features.
