Navy Seal Team – Footwear

By Chad • May 18th, 2009

The name of the company is OTB Boots. They specialize in aquatic shoes that serve several operational parameters. In short they were approached by the U.S. Navy SEALs to design a boot totally different from all others with operations in and around water in mind. In addition to the SEALs there were others that put information in on what they needed and what had worked in the past and what had not. So after listing to their future customers and some cutting edge manufacturing techniques OTB Boots were born.
