A new boot designed by a former Navy SEAL has caught the attention of elite operators across the military including some West Coast reconnaissance Marines and members of Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command.

Its creator, Nathanael Roberti, started LALO Tactical in 2009 after leaving active duty where he served with SEAL Team 10 and participated in Operation Red Wings to recover SEAL Marcus Luttrell when a 2005 raid in Afghanistan went wrong.
