Altama Desert/ Jungle/ Leather Combat (Mil Spec)
By P. E. Stolze
First, this review is for 3 Altama boots- The Desert 9" Mil Spec (Panama Sole), The Black Jungle 9" Mil Spec (Panama Sole) and the All Leather Combat 10" (Lug Sole)I'm new to Altama and after the first pair (3 months ago) I now own 3.Sizing: According to Altama's web site and my own experience you should order down 1/2 size. I wear an 11 in Nike (Shox for running) and in most dress shoes and take a 10.5 in these. I have an extremely narrow foot and the regular size does just fine for me. I originally ordered the non-mil spec and the insole was just a flat piece of polyurethane or something like that. NOW... with the Mil Spec you get an actual insole, like in a running shoe. I have actually run in these on concrete and did not have any blisters or hot spots. In the snow the leather's lug sole did great and the deserts actually kept my feet dry in the rain. We have crazy weather in the mountains of WV. The Jungle boots drainage holes are a god send for wet weather and they dry pretty quickly, I was surprised how well they did dry. The All Leather Combat boots handle snow like a champ and keep your feet warm and dry. We had some good snow falls this winter and these boots stood up to the elements. The Desert boot is made for...well, hot weather. Now, I have worn them in 30F temps and my feet were not cold. I've worn them with jeans in 60F weather and they weren't too hot. I love the color, but do recommend you use some Kiwi water proofing. The spray will darken them, but the color will lighten back up overnight. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a good boot and have done so (now some co-workers have purchased the same thing and have worn them daily in bad weather)The all leather combat boot can be shined and worn to work and nobody is any the wiser that you're wearing combat boots with a nice pair of dockers. They also look great with Jeans and I've received many compliments on them.To summarize... this is for the 3 basic style Mil Spec Altama boots. I wouldn't get something cheaper to save money. Spend the money, live in comfort and watch how these stand up. If they were any less they wouldn't be military approved by the DOD.Order 1/2 size down from your size in running shoes and you're welcome (in advance) for the advice.Enjoy.

By Eric R. Hansen
They are really stiff at first and require breaking-in, but Altama makes good long-lasting boots. I used to wear these and the would typically last a couple of years, but then switched to the bargain shoes I'd buy at Target or some other big box stores. That was a mistake. I destroy everything. These are a good choice, but you might want to soak them in water (warm maybe) and wear them dry if you want them to perform immediately. I just break mine in normally because I'm afraid the water would damage them.

Great pair of all leather boots with speed lacing; been wearing them steadily since I got them and excellent fit, wear, soles are good on all terrain esp. in mud and snow. Not the greatest shine but use a lighter to burn on the polish and is GTG ooorah!
