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.

Quality is hard to come by these days when it comes to men’s tactical boots. The footwear industry is flooded with so many boots that claim to be reliable, comfortable and high quality, when in fact many are poorly made. Whether you are in need of durable tactical boots for your profession, or you are searching for high quality men’s tactical boots that can handle your adventurous side, it’s time to invest in tactical boots from ALTAI™. These unique boots are designed to exceed your expectations in multiple ways!
When our design team sat down to develop our quality men’s tactical boots, we made it a point to create footwear that was versatile in a variety of applications. There are too many one dimensional boots out in the market, and our team was determined to not join that category. Some common applications where our quality tactical boots excel include:
Military - As a member of the military, you are on your feet for many hours per day. Thanks to our Ethylene-vinyl acetate midsoles, your feet will not experience the fatigue feeling that so many other boots cause.Quality materials can be found in men’s tactical boots by ALTAI™ from the top of the boot all the way to the sole. By utilizing high quality materials and creating a tactical boot that offers versatile boot applications, our team at ALTAI™ was able to create a truly unique boot.

When searching for a pair of reliable tactical boots for your job or leisure activities, there are certain requirements that need to be in place. With tactical boots, it is important that they are easy to clean and last a long time. There is no sense in continuously buying new boots because the soles wear out in a month, or they get too dirty and cannot be cleaned. ALTAI™ took these requirements to heart and made it a point to not only offer long lasting, durable tactical boots, but one’s that were also easy to clean.
The way our tactical boots are able to be extremely durable and easy to clean at the same time is largely due to the following reasons:
Another Happy Customer
Recently, a Twin Cities Metro area police sergeant and SWAT team member wore the ALTAI™ tactical boots during outdoor training on June 3, 2015. On this day, the St. Paul, MN area recorded 0.92 inches of rain. That next day, the officer sent an email to ALTAI™, and had this to say:
“Training in the rain and mud yesterday. They really clean up nice and quick. My feet were dry all day and the cleaning took about 2 minutes with a brush. Thanks again.”
As you can see from the pictures that he included, thanks to the SuperFabric® material and VIBRAM® soles, the ALTAI™ tactical boots provide durability, breathability, are waterproof and very easy to clean!
