If your hiking, work, or general rugged boot doesn’t have that “perfect” feel, you might resort to some fancier lacing techniques. There’s the Heel Lock, the High Instep, the Granny Lock, and the list goes on. But we decided to build a boot that has a simple, straight forward lacing system that guarantees fast gearing up with a secured fit for extended periods of time.
To start, laces should be snug without being too tight. Our sausage link laces easily fit exactly in the gussets where they are supposed to; eliminating extra sliding and preventing loosened laces. Without any complicated steps, anyone can put on a pair of our boots and easily lace up for maximum performance and comfort. Bottom line: tie it once and you’re done.
We recommend securing an “anchor point” by tautly synching up the lower portion of the lacing system. Secure the base of the lacing system and then snuggly secure the laces through the quick-hooks to your preference.
If you prefer to have less “excess” when lacing up your boots, we recommend wrapping the laces back around the upper calf, top of the boot, parallel to the top quick-hook, and then bring the laces back to the front to tie your final knot.
At any time should you feel you are still not getting the right fit, the ALTAI™ team is always hear to find you the right solution; let us know any questions you have about our lacing system and finding the ALTAI™ Perfect Fit!

Zipper Speed Lacing added by customer Daniel Lugo
It is the start of your workweek, and you are lacing up your boots for a long day ahead on the job. As you lace up your boots, you realize just how long it takes you to get a good tie down. A few hours into your workday and you look down to see that your laces have become untied. The long lacing process begins again. Unfortunately, this is an accurate portrayal for some people when it comes to lacing up their boots. Not only is it too often a long process, but a lot of boots on the market struggle to stay tied for an entire work day. At ALTAI™, we took notice of this struggle, and made it a point to create a speed lacing system that simply cannot be matched by our competitors.
Faulty laces could cause you to lose important time on the job. For instance, our law enforcement officers rely heavily on their feet to capture criminals around our community. An untied boot can slow you down and be the reason that a criminal gets away. Our dedicated staff has created a speed lacing system that keeps a tight hold on your boots for an entire workday. Our figure-eight lacing method keeps your boots as snug at the end of the day as they are when you first put your ALTAI™ Boots on.
Our speed lacing system doesn’t just help out law enforcement officers. Hikers rely on a strong lacing system to ensure that their feet get the necessary support needed to explore all types of environments. Military personnel have to quickly react to life or death scenarios, so the last thing that they want to hold them back is their lacing system. Individuals that spend time in wet environments need their lacing system to stay in tact even when coming into contact with water. With ALTAI™, our speed lacing system exceeds the competition and helps make our tactical boots an all around boot that elevates your productivity instead of holding you back!
