Maritime Mid

Design is unique to a degree and useful. Wore these in a tropical climate for an extended period of time and they held up well, particularly the soles and fabric where the soles typically become unglued near the toes.

Took a chance coming from SFB style boots and well worth it. Loosen up the laces and let them break in and they fit like a glove. Very happy and my wife is as well since I can now retire “those old, smelly boots”… Thanks!

I first noticed these Altama shoes after spotting Tom Cruise wearing them in a Mission Impossible movie. I tracked them down using Google Lens and ordered a pair. I liked the fit and feel so much that I ended up ordering a second pair. The shoes are made from a very sturdy nylon that’s comfortable and breathes well. It feels like it will hold up to abrasion and long-term wear without being stiff or hot. The soles appear to be designed for light desert conditions—they don’t have an aggressive lug pattern, which means they don’t trap a lot of dirt or debris. Out of the box, the liners are pretty thin and wimpy, but replacing them with better insoles made a big improvement in fit and comfort. I’ve been alternating between the two pairs and wearing them almost every day all winter. These don’t feel like big, clunky boots at all. They feel more like basketball or athletic shoes, which makes foot placement very precise. Because of that, I even wear them to the gym. Overall, they’ve been comfortable, versatile, and durable enough that I’d buy them again.
