I purchased these looking for a boot for whitewater canoeing/kayaking/rafting. Astral doesn't make for shoes average to wide feet. Merrells just don't have the needed grip in wet mossy conditions. I stumbled on Altama's on a review for another shoe. The price was reasonable, so I pulled the trigger. While I still think the Altamas run narrow, and they need to offer a wider option, I was able to loosen the lower part of the lace, throw in an overhand knot in the middle and tighten them at the top for a good fit. I think they are somewhat wide in the toe box, but the mid is still fairly narrow. I tested them rafting the Middle Ocoee and kayaking the Hiwassee. They definitely have a better grip than anything I have had in the past, they drain well, and they are very comfortable. They also have some that is thin enough to avoid problems fitting in the cockpit. I think I would be able to walk out if I had to bail on a trip for safety reasons. I wouldn't want to walk a long distance carrying a full pack or heavy boat, but think they would be better than most river shoe options. The boots are easy to clean-up I remove the insole and rinse them thoroughly under running water. Overall I'm very pleased, and like them enough I plan to buy a set of the low tops for daily wear, and I need to buy a pair a size or two up to fit with my drysuit booties. They actually look good. I definitely recommend paddlers take a look at these as a good option.
Thanks for such a detailed review and for putting the Maritime Mid through its paces on the Ocoee and Hiwassee—that’s exactly the kind of environment these boots were built for. We’re glad the grip, drainage, and cockpit-friendly profile delivered when it counted.
Appreciate the feedback on width as well. Fit is mission-critical, and we’re always listening when it comes to ways we can improve. Great call on the lace adjustment, and smart thinking on sizing up for use with a drysuit.
We’re stoked to hear you’ll be grabbing the low tops too, and grateful you’d recommend them to fellow paddlers. Thanks for trusting Altama out on the water.
Great overall. Boots get pretty hot in the sun.
Appreciate the field report. Heat can be the enemy out there—curious if you’re running these mostly on land ops or amphibious, and if you’re going sockless or not. Every detail helps us keep building boots that perform when the sun’s beating down.
Fantastic shoes. Great fit and very durable. I always keep a set in my closet.
Respect. We’re fired up to hear your ALTAMAs came through with comfort, grit, and ready for action. Every pair is built for the fight, and it’s warriors like you that keep us driving forward. Stay mission-ready.
These shoes are awesome, comfortable,and good looking. The shipping was fast and the shoes were adequately packaged.
Appreciate the feedback, warrior. Glad to hear your new ALTAMAs checked every box—from comfort to performance to delivery. Built to serve you well, on mission and off.
Tends to run small
Thank you for the feedback and great review! The Maritime Mid boots do have a more narrow fit as they were made to be worn sockless for water operations.
