ALTAI™ Local Spotlight: Rice Park
Here at ALTAI™, we don’t just make great boots. We also have a passion for hiking, camping, and all things outdoors. We are on a mission to check out as many local nature destinations as possible, and we were eager to check Rice Park off our list. Rice Park is a park in the Twin Cities that beautifully blends an urban setting with mother nature. Located in downtown St. Paul, Rice Park is near the Mississippi River and is host to a ton of awesome events year-round including concerts, festivals, and a skating rink in the winter.

We were there on a sunny winter afternoon and had a great time walking over to the Mississippi and checking out the scene. The high bridge spanning the river is also a particularly impressive view. Since Charles Schultz, the creator of Peanuts, is originally from St. Paul, there are statues of Peanuts characters located in various locations around the Twin Cities. They can also be found at Rice Park. Rice Park is a great outdoor destination for Twin Cities residents and visitors alike—whether you’re there to enjoy a local band in the summer, or to go ice skating in the winter.

Our law enforcement and military personnel spend their careers, and sometimes their lives, fighting for the citizens in our country. In fact, there is simply no way to ever thank them enough for their incredible service. They put their lives in danger on our behalf every single day — they should always be protected by high quality gear that will help them do their jobs. 
Sick of your heavy boots holding you down? Many people believe the misconception that boots must be heavy in order for them to be heavy duty. That is simply not the case, and we at ALTAI™ are here to prove it!

A uniform can say a lot about the man or woman who is wearing it proudly. Each piece represents a level of professionalism and readiness to get the job done right. The boots that you choose can be a big factor in your ability to complete each and every facet of your job. 
Most people that spend their free time outdoors or have a profession that requires them to work in outdoor environments remember the time that they purchased a pair of boots that did not cut it! Whether they were incredibly uncomfortable, poorly constructed, didn’t last long or weren’t truly waterproof, chances are that you put a little more thought into purchasing boots these days.
