ALTAI™ Retailer Spotlight: CC Military Surplus, Saint Paul Minnesota

Today we spotlight another ALTAI™ retailer, also a local neighboring business, CC Military Surplus, Inc. Located in the Twin Cities, this Maplewood business is a one-stop shop for all things tactical.

CC Military Surplus was spawned from its parent company, CC Manufacturing; a military manufacturing company who offered metal stamping and powder-coating products for U.S. and allied countries worldwide. Over the years, CC Manufacturing moved into retail end-user products, focused on paintball and airsoft gear.

CC Military Surplus started as a small storefront but has now grown to occupy the entire building in Maplewood, Minnesota. Stop by for an in-person fitting of your next pair of ALTAI™ boots!

ALTAI™ – The True Four Season Boot

Your traditional winter boots. They sit in the back of the utility closet until the worst weather hits. They are heavy, musty, and you dread the cold work ahead of you.

Familiar with this scenario? Being from Minnesota, we know your pain. Sweaty liners make your feet even colder and heavy, clumpy outsoles make for a tougher time outdoors in the winter months.

Which is why we designed a boot that tackles winter obstacles just as easily as it does the hottest days of the year. Using SuperFabric® materials in our uppers, moisture and water molecules cannot penetrate this unique fabric, while remaining breathable; greatly reducing collected sweat that turns feet cold.

     

SuperFabric® allows our boots to remain ultra-light, deflecting snow and slush, and our Vibram® outsoles are so lightweight, you won’t notice exhausted feet at the end of your work day or outdoor adventure.

Larger toe boxes allow for you to customize for winter excursions. Whether you need thick wool socks or some other preferred combination of insulation, you can not only find the perfect fit and feel for winter, you can continue to wear them through the rest of the warmer seasons.

ALTAI™ Sizing Information: Finding The Perfect Fit

Buying footwear online can be tricky. With the infinite variety of styles, it can be a headache shopping around before you decide to take the plunge.

This is why we want to share some detailed information on our boots sizes, so you can make a better-informed decision when buying them online; whether it’s on our store or at Amazon. So here are a few tips to keep in mind when purchasing a pair of ALTAI™ boots and you can always contact us directly for specific sizing questions.

  • Men for year-round wear order a half size down
  • Men with wide feet order their regular size as if the boots were labeled “wide”
  • Men for very cold weather order their regular size to fit a thick, warm sock
  • Women for year-round wear order a size and a half down

 

 

 

ALTAI™ Testimonial: Sean “SPYRO” Riggs

It’s not every day we receive a testimonial quite like Sean “SPYRO” Riggs’. As an amputee paintballer and a remarkable athlete by any standard, we were ecstatic to hear the following, real-world experience with our boots on the field.

“Friday: I wore my currently daily boots to the event. They are from Walmart and are functionally doing what they need for the most part. I slipped in the 6-8” mud as well as had terrible traction.

Saturday: I wore my new 511 side zip boots bought as I was told they would do everything I needed. Water and mud got into the boot from the side zipper and traction was no better than the day before.

Now typically by the end of the day Saturday I am exhausted and participating on Sunday is tough on my body. When I got home sat night your boots were on my porch and my wife and I decided there was no better test run than this.

I opened the box and as before the packaging was well done and I was pleased to see the side zip. It took a bit to get my prosthetic into the boot which is typical with new boots but it did fit. The first thing we noticed was how high they went which was a positive both for support and the weekend’s mud. Again the large laces and steel eyelets made lacing the boots up easier for me.

The next morning it had started raining again and we set out. I immediately noticed I had better traction and grip on the ground. As I walked through the same mud as I had with two different pairs of boots the last two days I did not have the seepage as I had before. The boots were also slightly lighter which helped me to not be as exhausted. All this from wearing them just one day and for about 5 hours. I can’t wait to try them out more and be all that I am wanting to be on the paintball field again. Thank you.”
