Combat boots are amazingly multifunctional. They are used by the U.S. Military for training and combat, as well as a popular fashion statement. The Desert Tan Combat Boot from ALTAI™ combines durable construction with lightweight comfort. Our affordable footwear gives you advanced protection from rugged terrain, water, snow, arctic cold and desert heat. They are engineered for outstanding performance in any situation.
The combat boot has undergone an enormous evolution over the years. Military boots worn during World War I were known as Trench Boots. Our soldiers went to battle wearing footwear made of cowhide, with metal plates attached to the bottom. There were many foot related problems due to the lack of waterproofing.
By World War II the need for a waterproof boot was recognized and a new Combat Service Boot was constructed out of thick leather. This design included a smooth leather high top that was secured with two buckles. It was known as a Buckle Boot. Rubber was added to the sole and heel to make them more waterproof.
During the Vietnam Conflict a transition was made to a black combat boot. The Jungle Boot was also introduced. Both designs utilized a molded sole and had black leather. The Jungle Boot had a olive drab upper.
A more functional tan combat boot was adopted later as our troops mitigated to desert environments.
Today, ALTAI™ has designed a Desert Tan combat boot with technologically advanced features. It has been engineered for Outstanding Performance and durable construction. These boots provide all the protection that is needed in a combat situation or for any rugged outdoor activity in all seasons. Our boots include features not usually seen in affordable footwear.
No detail was missed when designing our combat boots. Our team took a close look at every aspect of this boot and engineered something that is close to perfection with Outstanding Performance.
ALTAI™ has reinvented the Combat Boot. We bring you Outstanding Performance in affordable footwear. Our Tan Combat Boot has every element of protection and function of a high-end tactical boot. The durable construction and endless comfort make this the combat boot of choice.

The Altai™ team has utilized a new kind of material, a specialty material, one that is revolutionary – changing the way everyone is seeing fabric and opening the door for completely new textile demands. The key component we are talking about is SuperFabric®. Now that we offer a wider arrangement of tactical and military boots, such as our desert tan combat boots, black tactical boots - both high and low top and hiking boots constructed with this innovative (yet unknown) fabric material, we think it is high time we broke it down for you.
SuperFabric® is not one material, it is the precisely and scientifically engineered combination of multiple materials that offer outstanding results. Because of its appearance it can look as if it is a mesh material - it is, in fact, the complete opposite of that! This material is 4 times more abrasion resistant than Kevlar. Yes, it has tested stronger than Kevlar – now that’s outstanding in itself… but I’m not finished. SuperFabric® is also 14 time more cut resistant than leather, not to mention extremely lighter, more flexible and waterproof. These are the findings of actual, in lab testing. Those are some cold, hard facts to bring to your commander – if you so desire.
