Second pair and best work boots I’ve had, 12 hour shifts in any conditions and were recommended to me by a SWAT officer.
I have owned three different pairs, but the MultiCam Black is the version I wear the most. The Altama Urban Assault is by far the best shoe or boot I have ever owned. I have been wearing them for over two years, almost daily, for 12 to 16 hours a day. I am surprised when I see someone claim their shoes are falling apart because I have never had those issues. Thanks Altama for a great product.
That’s what real-world use looks like—putting in 12–16 hour days and still going strong.
The ALTAMA® Maritime and Urban were built for exactly that kind of demand—durable tactical footwear that holds up under constant wear, movement, and pressure. From the outsole to the upper, it’s designed to outperform where others break down.
We know every environment and use case is different, but feedback like yours—long-term, daily wear with zero failure—is exactly what this boot was engineered to deliver.
Appreciate you running multiple pairs and trusting ALTAMA® to get it done day in and day out. Keep putting them to work.
I work in an office and wear these 3 days a week maybe and they are falling apart already. I received them in February so it’s only been like two months of light wear.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention — we’ve received your email and our team is actively reviewing what may have gone wrong so we can make this right.
What you’re describing is not the standard we hold for the ALTAMA® Urban Mid. These boots are built to deliver reliable, everyday performance, and especially with light office wear, you should be seeing far more longevity.
ALTAMA® has a long-standing reputation for durability, quality, and standing behind our products, and we take that seriously. Our team will be in touch shortly with next steps to get you taken care of.
We appreciate your patience — we’ve got this from here.
I own my first pair of Altama boots I have the Urban Assault Mid boot in black I have to say they are awesome comfortable and holding very well I got them for my birthday
Glad to hear your Urban Mids are performing for you. No better birthday gift than great boots!
I purchased these boots specifically for the gym and rowing. I have issues with regular tennis shoes cutting into the tops of my feet, so I prefer to have a mid length shoe/boot for more support and the ability to have the laces tight without the discomfort.
I have quickly found that these boots are really comfortable and love wearing them for daily use as well as on duty. (LE Patrol)
They are extremely light weight, breathe well and I have no issues wearing them for 10+ hours. These are definitely on my go to list.
Thank you for the outstanding feedback and for putting the ALTAMA® Urban to work both in the gym and on patrol. The mid-height design was built to provide secure lace lockdown and added upper support without unnecessary bulk, so it’s great to hear it’s delivering comfort where traditional athletic shoes fall short.
Lightweight construction, breathable materials, and all-day wearability are core to the Urban platform, especially for long shifts and training sessions. We’re honored to be on your go-to list and appreciate you trusting ALTAMA® for performance and duty.
