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.
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.
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”
@@Scot-t no. the last pair of boots that they sold that came with those insoles have now been discontinued. 😞 they were called Altama Jungle Assault Side-Zip Safety Toe 351603
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.
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.
Just bought mine excited to try them out. Thanks for the review
Nice! if you plan to wear any kind of cotton sock, be sure to replace the insoles.

@gearmodder5648 my pair of maritime assault mids don't get used often
awesome mod
They look a lot like a taller version of Chucks
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.

Very nice review, I will take the mid ones.
The mid ones are great!

Hey! I took them out of a pair of OTB (Pre-Altama) Jungle Boots. I am looking for ways on how to get a new pair. Not easy to find!
Aww man… I was hoping you had a source
@@lilkasino2017 as soon as I find one I'll let you now. I am reaching out to Altama directly.
Any OTB insole updates?

Do these have steel or composite toes?
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?
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.
@@gearmodder5648 thank you for the insight
Thank you😺

Good point! That would be an awesome addition to these boots!!
Get those zips that you lace in in to the main tongue
Any good for rucking?

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

Да, но ожидается для обуви в водном стиле. Я не слышал о Сolambia Anoka
Привет, мужики посоветуйте хорошие берцы или туристические ботинки купить? Маттерхорны берцы смотрел как они вообще по качеству
