Altama has built military and tactical footwear since 1969, when it began supplying olive-drab jungle boots to U.S. soldiers in Vietnam. Today the brand is best known among operators for maritime and water-operations footwear designed to perform once the mission goes into the water. Military divers, law enforcement dive teams, and outdoor operators reach for Altama footwear built specifically for wet, technical environments.

Options include the Maritime Assault boots, built for aquatic operations and dive missions with drainage-focused construction and a fin-compatible design meant to be worn sockless, alongside the Aboottabad Trail Mid, a tactical trail runner built on Altama's Panama Sole platform with a sticky rubber arch wrap for fast-roping grip.

Altama's maritime boots are built to drain and dry quickly after full submersion, so a boot that gets soaked during an insertion or a water crossing doesn't stay heavy for the rest of the mission. The Maritime Assault Low sits at a low-top height for maximum mobility, while the Mid and High adds ankle coverage for more support on land between water evolutions. The Aboottabad Trail boots take a different approach for dry-land movement, pairing trail-runner weight and flexibility with a sticky rubber compound that grips rope and ladders during fast-roping and technical descents.

Pair Altama footwear with the rest of your tactical apparel, compare it against other tactical boots in the lineup, and gear up with the rest of your tactical gear.
