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.

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. They provide the ultimate in protection and comfort. Each boot is designed to be Water Resistant, Breathable, Lightweight and Slash Resistant. Every ALTAI™ Boot Style would be great for canoe trips and camping but tall boots offer the most protection. The Rugged Sole that Grips when Wet helps to make our footwear a good bet for a Kayaking Boot as well.
The iconic wilderness destination in Northern Minnesota that kisses Canada’s Quetico Provincial Park is commonly referred to as the BWCA. It encompasses over one million acres including lakes, rivers, waterfalls and forests. This is great place to go to unplug and enjoy nature. Visitors must be very prepared before setting out for a multi-day and night canoeing or kayaking outing. The right gear can make or break your trip.
Frequent visitors to the BWCA and local outfitters have learned to rely on a great pair of boots. Military style boots with a Rugged Vibram® Sole that grips when wet are chosen for the unbeatable protection that they provide. Many military boots are too heavy and cumbersome for a multi day canoe trip in the vast wilderness. In contrast, ALTAI™ Boots are very Lightweight, Breathable, Slash Resistant and Water Resistant making them ideal for a week of Canoeing, Kayaking or Camping.
A good pair of water resistant boots should be one of the first things to be added to your supply list for a kayak or canoe trip. Your feet need to be protected while portaging your boat and keep your feet dry when entering or exiting the vessel. They should have quick drying materials that can be dried in the sunlight each day and light weight enough to retain your energy for paddling.
ALTAI™ Boots can be the ultimate weapon against the elements in Minnesota’s Boundary Water Canoe Area. Any of our styles can be utilized to keep your feet dry and protected while on a canoeing adventure but the tall boots offer the best protection. The many great features such as Water Resistance, Slash Resistance, Lightweight Materials and a Rugged Sole that grips when wet combine to make the ultimate Boot for Canoeing. If you are looking for a dependable camping or kayaking boot, look no further than ALTAI™ Boots.
