USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
The Rapid Assault is suitable for moving over any terrain where weight matters and speed and flexibility are needed. It excels on trails, mixed substrates, and roads. The rocker shape of the Rapid Assault sole promotes mid-foot strike and forward momentum. Due to the construction of the outsole pods, this is not a shoe for the treadmill. We also do not recommend this boot for fast roping.

Q: How do I get the right size?
Getting the right fit in shoes can be tricky. It may never be perfect, but we feel confident that you will be able to get the right fit. If you are unsure of your shoe size, please refer to this chart to help you decide what shoe size is best for you based on how we make our shoes.
Q: Do your shoes come in Women’s sizes?
Yes they do! We offer Women’s sizes from 6-11.
Q: How wide are your shoes? Do they come in different widths?
LALO shoes and boots are a D width. We do not offer different widths at this time. The boot was designed to fit in a swim fin so we are limited to the width it could be manufactured at.
Q: What does the term "active drop" mean?
It is a term to describe how much the EVA compresses when you are wearing the shoe, rather than the "passive" drop when the EVA in the shoes is not compressed.
Q: Do your shoes fit true to size?
All of our shoes generally fit true to size. If you have a generously wide or more voluptuous foot, consider ordering a 1/2 size larger, as this more often than not compensates for the extra width needed. Many runners also like their shoes a 1/2 size larger so it is not uncommon to order a 1/2 size larger in the Zodiac Recon, Zodiac Recon AT and Zodiac Recon ATX, depending on your preference. Please keep in mind that the lightweight and breathable materials used in the uppers of our shoes may feel tight to begin with but will stretch and conform to your foot the more you wear them. If you put your shoe on and it feels too short in length, then order a 1/2 size larger. We offer free returns and exchanges in order to help you get the right size from the get go.
Q: How do the soles of your shoes wear? They seem to be made of a soft material.
The design of our shoes puts an emphasis in noise reduction, breathability and weight - key features our Special Forces Operators requested. Rubber is noisy and EVA is very quiet, so naturally we built our midsoles of EVA.
We reduced the amount of rubber (heavy) and used an EVA / rubber blend of material for the balance of the outsole. The shoe will wear evenly and the main disruption in the EVA will happen right out of the gate. The outsole has a larger than average EVA platform to make it stable underfoot and allow it to be more supportive during a workout.
