I’ve been wearing these boots for about 3 weeks now both on patrol and during my day to day life and these have so far been amazing, I generally have wide feet and quite a few shoes make my feet hurt and these so far have not I love that they are zero drop boots as well due to me being used to something like that after wearing vans for so long and I can confidently say they replaced them. The one negative I do have is while I was breaking them in they did have a few threads come loose which concerned me a little however I cut them and continued wearing them and have not had that problem since, also while they were being broken in they did rub my Achilles weird however it did go away after they were broken in
Thank you for the field report. We are glad to hear your Urbans are performing well for you as your daily go-to boot for work and beyond. Stay safe and ready.
Second pair and best work boots I’ve had, 12 hour shifts in any conditions and were recommended to me by a SWAT officer.
Thank you for the excellent field report. We are honored to be your go-to pair.
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.
