\"Altama
A classic-looking boot, with some classic tools.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recently, I have fallen in love with a classic and it’s one that might fit your needs as well. Don\u2019t write me off immediately because the name of the boot is the Altama Leather Combat Boot,<\/a> colloquially known to service members as the \u201cAll Leather\u201d. We aren\u2019t talking historical here, we are talking about something for modern-day use. And not as a Desert Storm Re-enactor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Altama
Not the best field sole, but great on concrete.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In my day, only the super hooah dudes wore all leather boots. Because it was like 80% more boot you had to shine compared to a jungle boot. Which is even more significant when you woke up late to formation with a hangover and no haircut. So it might not have been the most common boot around, but enough were in service to prove the concept of durability and usefulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As black boots have gone the way of the white buffalo in favor of no shine desert or tan boots, the classics have been getting harder and harder to find. So I was stoked to see Altima still making this boot, in its original configuration. Why, as a long-retired guy with not one can of kiwi to my name, would I care?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Altama
Top padded collar for comfort.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Because the All Leather is one of the very few boots to have the looks to transition away from the VFW and into your everyday wardrobe. Provided you aren\u2019t 19 and outside of Ft. Gordon\/Camp Lejeune, the boot blends enough with a pair of jeans to look normal. In an age of leather motorcycle boots, it doesn\u2019t really scream Veteran or wannabe. It slides right into normal dress without people asking if you are in need of the VA crisis line number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Altama
Thick leather, even on the tongue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And then we get to the benefits of this particular boot. First, it looks tough. Ever since they gelded Dr. Martens (go look at the soles<\/a>, child of the 90\u2019s, and scream in outrage), some of us have been looking for a replacement. Altama\u2019s are Metal as the day is long, and no one can deny that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Altama
In their natural habitat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Should the need arise to soul crush a door or give someone a Reebok shampoo, the Altima has a proven track record of being up to the task. The all-leather construction is very durable and will survive things like an asphalt dragging in a way nothing else could. The sole, while not ideal for mud, does an acceptable job in all-terrain, and is outstanding in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available in both width and size for real boys, this is one I hope never fades away. If you want to relive the grunge days, this one is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
