When you live in or visit, the Twin Cities, you will find busy downtown areas, big business, and an international airport. But mixed in with the modern urban amenities, you will also find lots of great places to experience nature. Since ALTAI™ is headquartered in Oakdale, which is on the eastern side of the Twin Cities, we decided it was a good idea to share some of the great hiking areas that help make our area so special.
Next week, Jan 21-23, we’re headed to Las Vegas to attend the world’s largest shooting, hunting, and outdoor trade show in the world: NSSF SHOT Show. We will be with our materials partner, SuperFabric®, for the following events and locations:

Any boot company can tell you they have the best boots. But here at ALTAI™, we believe in the importance of reviews; reviews are proof of our boots’ performance. Feedback and input from wearers of our boots are how we can continue to strive to bring you the perfect, multi-purpose, rugged boot. Recently, we received this personal account of our MFT100s; so you can see the proof for yourself.
A big ‘Thank You’ to Dylan Sauer for sharing his ALTAI™ experience.
Many ALTAI™ customers are ecstatic about the boots they have, including myself. I have worn these boots for my security job, doing work for Bay City Public Safety’s Reserve Unit, and for playing intense scenario paintball in the woods. I was initially only going to use the pair for police work and security, but I decided to try them out on a paintball field. I did receive a few paintball splats to my feet, but the paint and mud come off very easily with a wet rag.
Back in January, there was a charity auction for a famous paintball player, Chris Lasoya. Chris was a firefighter who was burned trying to put out a fire. With the medical expenses being so high due the amount of burns he received form the fire, medical expenses would be astronomical. Another fellow paintballer, and ALTAI™ sponsored athlete, David “Reaper” Justin, knew it was time to step in and help out a fellow paintball player. David put together a charity auction and I was added to the group auction on Facebook. After a short bidding war, I won the pair of MFT100s.
After having these boots for nearly 7 months, I would consider these boots to be the best I have ever worn. I’ve gone through many pairs of boots throughout my time and none has lasted as long as my pair of MFT100s. My legs will give out before my feet decide to blister or cramp up. I’ve crawled through swamps and waded through water with these boots on and they have never smelled “swampy” afterwards. On top of all that, I have also been working around forty hour work weeks with these boots on.
I have also worked plenty of police details in Bay City, including concerts in Wenona Park for concerts, Southend Little League for their National Night out, and Veterans Park for the Bay City Fireworks Festival. ALTAI™ boots support me while I am supporting my community.
If you have a complex system for lacing your boots to fit your unique needs, then we challenge you to a new, simpler way to keep your feet comfortable and snug, without wasting any extra time.
While some lacing systems like the Ladder lacing system offer a secure fit, we wanted to save you time when gearing up. As you can see in the video, this might be an okay solution for ill-fitting boots, but we took the design of our boot to eliminate the need for any complicated lacing techniques.
Our boots' eyelets are specifically designed for our Speed Lacing system, which is as intuitive as tying a tennis shoe, but faster. In order to cut down the time it takes to gear up for police officers and other first responders, our boots were intended to be laced up in a straight forward manner with minimal time involved; all while ensuring a secure fit for a hard day at work (or play!).
The history of the combat boot in the military.
Footwear for warfare; it’s come a long way since its first emergence onto the battlefield. Since the 1700s, combat boots have been a critical component to a soldier’s arsenal of gear. Frontline troops spend extended hours in their boots, trudging through the roughest of terrains.
The earliest combat boots were surprisingly simplistic. But countless injuries from poor insulation from the cold and trench foot from excessive moisture were clear signs that soldiers on the ground need better footwear. In fact, some have even reported seeking ongoing treatment from footwear-related injuries almost 30 years later. Now it’s not so tough to see what sparked decades of improvements to combat boots, with plenty more to come.
Today, combat boots come with an array of features; ranging from new space-aged materials to incredible waterproofness. Side-zips offer quick gearing up with perfect comfort, every time. Super lightweight materials for outsoles make a world of difference for weary feet during long missions. The military also expanded its offering to soldiers: two pairs of hot weather boots and one pair of temperate weather boots for Basic Training. Modern combat boots offer superior ruggedness, depending on the environment and situation; beyond what one standard-issue boot from the past could do.
Many components are used in modern combat boots, unlike the typical leather boots from the past. Our main, and most noticeable, champion-component, SuperFabric®, is incorporated into every one of our boots. The result: a combat boot that can defend from the harsh terrain any soldier of the Armed Forces faces. For a complete look at our version of the modern combat boot, check out our offering here.
Armed Forces celebrations continue as today we highlight the United States Navy and what makes this branch of the military exemplify the ever-inspiration moto: “Not for self, but for country.”
For a group of people who are literally trained to process fear differently from the rest of us, you can bet the Marines are some of the toughest in the world. This also includes, the elite U.S. Navy SEALs. Their acute ability to conquer strenuous physical activity and power through a gauntlet of mental challenges, this branch of the Armed Forces truly deserves its ultra-rugged reputation.
Approximately 300,000 strong, we can be assured that our men and women in the U.S. Navy are keeping us protected and safe. Because if you have ever seen the movie TOPGUN, you can actually be fairly confident in its accuracy, in terms of the importance of the Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Program. So carry on with Armed Forces Week and the U.S. Navy.
