      Nice! if you plan to wear any kind of cotton sock, be sure to replace the insoles.

    What kinda socks do you wear in water situations just wondering I've got the olive mids 4yrs ago maybe I use OD green USOA military boot socks the mixed with silver kind

      I wear nylon socks that wont absorbe water. Kinda like dress socks. They also don't grab the soles of the Maritime boots as much. I also wear the Mil Issued socks with them, but they grab the soles so you gotta work your foot in there some.

    They look a lot like a taller version of Chucks

    • @gearmodder5648
      @gearmodder5648  5 месяцев назад

      Yep they are much thicker than chucks. Like 6mm of Nylon/webbing vs the .5 mm cotton walls of Chucks. Makes them alot more durable.

    I got three mid cut Altama. The MC Black, MC, and OD Green. Absolute best shoes ever. I have owned them for around 2 years and I still use them to this day. How did you put the MOLLE on the side. That looks great. I want to throw some on mine when I get some.

    • @gearmodder5648
      @gearmodder5648  Год назад

      Nice!! the MC Black looks fantastic. - I measured where I wanted them, and sewed them by hand. Have to make sure the stiches are tight. I copied the distance from another piece of gear that already had MOLLE on it.

    Where do you get the OTB insoles? I have the low cuts and the stock insoles are fine but I can definitely see your point about swapping them out in the 8”

    Do these have steel or composite toes?

    • @gearmodder5648
      @gearmodder5648  9 месяцев назад

      More like a soft rubber toe. great for wearing fins.. not so great for protecting your toes.

    Do the speed laces feel like they may get flimsy?

    • @gearmodder5648
      @gearmodder5648  2 года назад

      No way. The laces that come with the boots will last a very long time. They are very tough. The speed lacing loops are the ones Altama has used on all their boots. They also last forever. I use Paracord for emergency cordage if needed.

    I'm a maritime law enforcement officer and I like the idea of these for work but they need a zip. When you're in the water in full kit one of the first things to ditch is your boots. No time to untie.

    Any good for rucking?

    • @gearmodder5648
      @gearmodder5648  Год назад +2

      For me, I prefer more cusion in the sole for rucking. These are very much like minimalist soles. They do have more support than the lower cut versions, but for rucking I'd say there are better options.

      If you intend to ruck in them I would advise to get your size in wide and get a nice sturdy insole
