FORT BENNING, GA – April 14, 2025 – OTB Boots is proud to report that an estimated 90% of competitors at the 2025 Best Ranger Competition laced up in its elite tactical footwear. Held April 11–13 at Ft. Benning, GA, this grueling 3-day competition brings together the most capable warrior athletes in the U.S. military for a relentless test of endurance, skill, and willpower.
The overwhelming presence of OTB Boots at this year’s event reinforces the brand’s fast-growing reputation for performance, durability, and trust within the Special Operations and Ranger communities. From rope climbs to ruck marches, OTB’s boots were battle-tested at this prestigious event by some of the military’s most elite.
OTB would like to extend a big congratulations to 1st Lt. Kevin Moore and 1st Lt. Griffin Hokanson from the 75th Ranger Regiment on winning this year’s competition –– well done, gentlemen!
The flagship M-Carbon 8 continues to dominate as the boot of choice among competitors. As the only AR 670-1 compliant tactical boot with a carbon plate, the M-Carbon 8 delivers superior propulsion, responsiveness, and support under load—qualities that are mission-critical for elite warfighters.
“We built this brand for high-performance military athletes,” said Dan Ellis, President of OTB Boots. “To see our boots trusted by nearly the entire competitor field at Best Ranger—it’s humbling, and it fuels our commitment to push even further.”
OTB Boots is a proud partner of the Best Ranger Competition and remains dedicated to serving the unique needs of America’s most elite. Its full lineup—including the M-Carbon 8, M-Flex 8, and Abyss—is available now at select premium tactical retailers and online at OTBBOOTS.CO and Amazon.
