As autumn is in full swing and the weather has already changed, it's time to consider your choice in footwear. There are several different footwear options available to individuals who earn a living outdoors on their feet. For those that also enjoy outdoor sports like Hunting, Hiking and Camping, the choices begin to be more limited. Tactical Boots made by ALTAI™ Gear could be your best choice. Our tactical footwear is designed to handle extreme conditions while delivering on Light-Weight Protection and Durability. The ALTAI™ team gathered input from Military, Law Enforcement, Survivalists and Outdoor Sportsmen to determine which features were most important.

10 Important Features of Tactical Boots

Ten Features that stood out as being the most important when choosing which Tactical Boots to purchase included the following:

1. Quality of materials – It all starts with a smart boot design and the highest quality materials. Designing a boot that isn’t up to the task just won’t cut it on our book. ALTAI™ choose to use a SuperFabric® boot upper, EVA midsole and Vibram® outsole based on their quality and performance.
2. Comfort – Sore, blistered feet and foot fatigue can interfere with your ability to perform at your optimal best. When your feet hurt your body may compensate by moving in an unnatural way. This can contribute to joint pain, back pain and a bad day overall.
3. Durability – Once you have chosen the best boots for wearing day in and day out the last thing you want to do is have to replace them right away. Advancements in boot technology have resulted in ALTAI’s tactical boots that are long lasting and very durable for use every day.
4. Waterproofing – Keeping your feet warm and dry can be difficult if your boot’s water resistance fails. ALTAI™ Tactical Boots have waterproofing technology that goes from your toes to above your ankles. Walking through water, snow, rain, mud and slush are no match for ALTAI™ waterproofing.
5. Sole – Good grip and traction are important whether you are working indoors where spills can happen or outdoors on uneven terrain. VIBRAM® outsoles provide stability with a non-marking, anti-clogging outsole.
6. Laces – A secure speed lacing system allows you to lace up quickly. ALTAI™ tactical boots can be easily laced up and securely fastened in a matter of seconds.
7. Support – The last of a boot determines the break-in time before it becomes comfortably conformed to the shape of your foot. ALTAI™ boots have a well formed last that results in a comfortable fit in no time.
8. Protection – Feet need protection from scrapes, abrasions, puncture and so on. The highly protective SuperFabric® upper has tiny little armored plates adhered to a flexible base textile. Combine that with a VIBRAM® outsole for unbeatable protection.
9. Stability – Whether you are hiking on rough terrain, walking on rebar or maneuvering through dense forest, stability is very important. Lace up a pair of ALTAI™ Tactical Boots and you are good to go on an adventure.
10. Light Weight Construction – Nobody wants to be weighed down or slowed down by heavy boots. Lightweight boots are less stressful on your body and help to conserve your energy for the assignment at hand.

At ALTAI™, partnering with organizations in the community is something that we have a passion for. Seeing individuals utilize our tactical boots for their profession or leisure activities makes all the hard work behind the scenes worth it. Recently, ALTAI™ has decided to sponsor the “Dead Squad” paintball team, which is the premier team in Minnesota. The terrain of a paintball course can be tough on your feet, which is why we decided to sponsor this group of professionals. Our quality hiking boots are ideal for this sport.

The Importance of ALTAI™ Boots

When it comes to paintball, you never know what kind of environment the course is going to be in. The “Dead Squad” may have a tournament in the wetlands one weekend and have another tournament in a more mountainous terrain the next. In order to be a competitive and elite paintball team, you cannot let the weather and terrain affect the performance of your team. Your feet are one of the most important parts of the body when it comes to paintball, so it is vital that you keep them protected. At ALTAI™, we felt that our tactical boots were just what the members of this team needed to succeed on the courses.

ALTAI™’s Love of “Dead Squad’s” Mission

When ALTAI™ tried to decide on a organization to sponsor, we did not want to work with just any ordinary team. Instead, we wanted to partner with a team that focused on having fun and bringing people together. “Dead Squad” had a mission statement that reflected just what we were looking for in a partner:

• Have fun.
• Become a better paintball player, and increase your individual skillset.
• Serve as ambassadors of the paintball sport and share “Dead Squad’s” passion for paintball with others.

Paintball Benefits From Wearing ALTAI™ Boots

• Waterproof - Most of the tactical boots on the market today claim to be waterproof. Their definition of being waterproof is having a spray on repellant applied to the exterior of their boots. This is only a temporary solution. All materials that make up ALTAI™ waterproof hiking boots are water resistant, making our boots truly waterproof. This is a necessity on the paintball course.
• Lightweight - There is nothing worse for paintballers than to have heavy boots that weigh you down and make you slow out on the course. ALTAI™ offers a lightweight hiking boot that makes you feel like you aren’t even wearing boots at all!
• Protection - By using SuperFabric® in our boots, individuals are able to experience comfort and protection at the same time. No matter what type of environment your course is in, your feet will stay protected.

ALTAI™ is excited to continue supporting the “Dead Squad” paintball team and hope that they experience continued success. Order online or to learn more about the ALTAI™ tactical boots call 800-806-2611 or visit www.altaigear.com.
