If you work in an industry where you’re on your feet all the time or plan on going on an outdoor adventure- then you probably know how important it is to be tactical when choosing the right boot.
Although a waterproof boot is essential when exposed to certain weather conditions and/or in demanding situations where the material really matters. When it comes to tactical boots though, it’s key that durability and performance meets protection, and you are going to need more than just waterproof capabilities. The main function of a waterproof boot is to keep your feet dry in wet or damp conditions. At the very least, a tactical boot needs to be waterproof, but the truth is, that alone isn’t enough.
At ALTAI®, we specialize in designing high quality waterproof tactical boots and know exactly what additional features are needed to help you purchase the perfect pair!
Lightweight Flexibility
If you work in an industry such as law enforcement, security, construction, landscaping or warehousing where your day-to-day is physically demanding, then a lightweight waterproof work boot is ideal. There are many waterproof boots out there, but not many have the combination that is made of lightweight flexible fabric, which is necessary when it comes to achieving high quality performance.
A lightweight waterproof boot can improve mobility and agility so that you can move more freely, especially if you have to navigate through uneven surfaces or potential hazards. Wearing heavy boots can lead to foot and leg fatigue by increasing the strain on your muscles and joints. But if you wear a lightweight waterproof boot, you can alleviate these types of issues and increase your productivity while also reducing any risks of injury.
At ALTAI®, we understand the significance of this – that’s why our lightweight waterproof work boots barely tip the scales at 23 ounces and are approximately 50% lighter than most boots currently available in the market today.
Advanced Technology Materials
Lightweight waterproof boots are a great combo but the actual material of the boot is equally important. This is because if the material is not breathable, moisture can stay trapped in your boot and cause cold feet. A lot of waterproof boots are made with material such as Gore-Tex that claim to keep your feet warm in the winter. The only issue with this is that they tend to be on the heavier side and may require extra winterization.
At ALTAI®, our boots, on the other hand, are made with our very own patented SuperFabric® technology. Our technology is not only lightweight and breathable, but it doesn’t require any extra winterization so it’s perfect for all the seasons! We created our own innovative material through extensive scientific and technological research that has even been tested against blades and knives to ensure its durability!
Ultimately, it’s important to have a lightweight waterproof boot that is versatile enough to keep up with a wide range of work environments. It’s also important that it’s suitable for different outdoor activities, which is exactly what you get with our advanced SuperFabric® material!
Maximize Comfort
The right fabric can make a big difference in how comfortable your shoes are, especially if you are on your feet for extended periods of time. Other factors such as ankle support and traction are important too. Boots that have a padded collar and strong outsoles are some of the features that can help with this. It’s important to keep in mind that some shoes may also require a break-in period before they become comfortable. There are also some waterproof boots out there that can provide you with comfort the second you put them on depending on what you prefer!
This is why when it comes to shopping for boots, waterproof protection is a key factor, especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors or work in an industry where exposure to water or moisture is common. However, just focusing on the waterproof aspect of the shoe is not enough if you want to invest in a high-quality boot that is both versatile and tactical.
That’s why it’s so important to choose the right combination of lightweight flexible material and all the additional features needed to enhance performance and maximize comfort.
