Inside ALTAI™: Why Vibram® Puts the ‘Soul’ in our Soles



There is little doubt that a quality, rugged boot must have a top performing outsole. Whether you are trudging through dense forest or chasing criminals in the concrete jungle, the outsole is one of the first components in your footwear that will attest to its worthiness.
This is why we use Vibram® outsoles in all of our boots. From hunting to law enforcement, professionals who demand extreme durability and performance, we trust the best in the industry to conquer a wide variety of terrain and conditions. Our hiking/trekking focused Vibram® outsole is designed to keep you light on your feet; anti-clogging lugs reduces mud, dirty, and debris from weighing your boots down.

The vulcanized rubber that Vibram® offers have extreme traction for wet, messy environments. Originally invented to vastly improve footing for mountain climbers, Vibram® remains the most used sole in the industry. Over the years, Vibram® soles have evolved and, now, with an impressive variety of outsoles for every condition, we are proud to partner with a component that always strives for absolute excellence in outsole performance.
Vibram® best-in-class outsoles are coupled with our custom designed last to provide, not only a durable boot, but a durable boot that fits like a glove. Every boot is designed by a ‘last’ which has been specifically engineered to prevent that nasty ‘break-in period’, common for many, fresh-out-of-the-box boots.

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. 
An adventure in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness would not be nearly as enjoyable if you wear the wrong boots. ALTAI™ Boots make a smart choice in Boots for Canoeing.
