I have owned many pairs of Altama Mil-Spec combat boots over the years, and they have always performed well.

Pro:

- comfortable

- durable

- highly resistant to water:

- keep feet dry (triple stitching and full tongue keep water out)

- resistant to the damaging effect of water

- the wide lugs of the tread never pick up pebbles, and mud comes of easily

- eyelets are very durable and are quick and easy to lace

Con:

- none to speak of

These are almost the only foot-gear I wear.

If these boots cost $250 per pair they'd probably still be a deal. I think my previous pair lasted 10 years, about 12,000 motorcycle miles through all kinds of weather, camping, hiking, snow-shovelling, .. you name it. If you keep a coat of polish on them they'd probably last almost forever. Once they're broken in you don't even notice they're there. I only replaced the last pair because some piece of freeway debris cut a hole in them while riding. Spend the extra $10 for the mil spec leather, you're going to own them for a long time.

I've owned 2 pairs of these boots over the last 10 years.

When i was a civilan i wore them constantly. they went with me to d.c. atlanta, florida and british columbia.

They took abuse and never failed me. Comfortable and durable.

Years later i bought a pair out of pocket to wear in the army. The garbage they issued me couldn't compare. I wore them on many a 12 mile ruck march.

I've worn jungles, corcorans, bellville, wellco and doc marten. This boot is allways near the top of the list.

Have owned 2 pairs in 22+ years. Only got rid of the first pair b/c the soles melted from putting out a campfire. 2nd pair has been on numerous backpacking trips and have not caused blisters, or any other problems. I love these boots.

Estas botas son de lo mejor y para mi que las uso en el ambito militar son como anillo al dedo tarda un poco en acostumbrarse a ellas pero cuando lo haces se vuelven comodas
