I'm a police officer. They have worked perfectly so far for both regular patrol and for my bicycle patrol. I able to shine the toe satisfactorily using the Revivex Rubber Boot Treatment. In fact, they are so comfortable I'm seriously considering getting a second pair in a different color for off-duty wear!
Proud to have hit the mark for you on patrol, and thank you for the tip on using Revivex to get a shine on the toe cap. It's a question we get often and we will add that product to our suggestion list. Stay safe out there, and thank you for all you do.
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.
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 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!
Just got these to replace my duty shoes. Easy to wear for the range and regular patrol work. They’re super light, durable, and comfy. They’re also just covertly stylish. Really happy I found these and will for sure purchase again once this pair goes.
That’s exactly why the Urban Mid was built—to move easy on the range, hold up on patrol, and still fly under the radar with style. Glad they’re working hard for you, and we’ll be ready when it’s time for your next pair. Appreciate you running with ALTAMA®.
So I purchased my first pair of these back in 2020 and it was on a whim I liked the way these shoes looked very casual but has the durability and utility as a quality boot and I wore the same pair of shoes for 4 years for security purposes and considering that time I took them to hell and back. Throughout ALL that time they never stained and the wear and tear is what you would expect from that long of use and I wasn’t even bothered by the shoes integrity even though they were busted. I purchased another pair I will be wearing these shoes for casual and work purposes for the rest of my life.
Four years of hard use is one heck of a proving ground—exactly what the Urban was built for. We appreciate you running them through the grind and coming back for more. Casual or on the clock, it’s good to know they’ve earned a permanent place in your kit. Boots built to last, and you’ve proven it. Respect.
Great shoe, comfortable and so far it seems durable.
That’s what we like to hear! The ALTAMA® Urban was built to be a dependable daily driver, combining lightweight comfort with tactical durability for long days on your feet. Glad they’re treating you right so far. Appreciate you putting them to work! 🫡
The shoes I’ve been looking for my whole life! Won a customer for life
Maybe I received a defective pair idk. Worn twice on patrol and stitching is coming loose around the soles. Quality is not the same as I’ve ordered before. Disappointed as they fit well.
*****Update******
Returned my defective pair and promptly received a replacement. Great communication and fast response. I hope these pair last me a long time. Thanks again.
These look and feel great. I have bought 4 pairs of duty boots and shoes over the past couple of years. And these are by far the best.
That’s one heck of an endorsement. Four pairs of duty footwear and the ALTAMA® Urban took the top spot—we’ll take it.
The Urban was built to hit that sweet spot between all-day comfort, low-profile tactical performance, and duty-ready durability without feeling like you’re dragging a traditional boot around all shift.
Thanks for continuing to trust ALTAMA® on the job. Here’s to plenty of miles ahead. Stay safe out there. 🫡
I work in Law Enforcement. This is my first pair, the first word that comes to mind is comfortable! These will be my new daily’s going forward for sure.
Hi Jake, we're thrilled to hear you're so happy with your Urban - Mid! Thank you for your support, and we hope they serve you well every day.That’s what we like to hear. When you’re spending a shift on your feet, comfort isn’t a luxury—it’s part of the kit.
The ALTAMA® Urban was built to deliver lightweight, low-profile performance without sacrificing the support you need for long days on duty. We’re glad your first pair earned daily-driver status right out of the gate.
Thanks for trusting ALTAMA® on the job. Stay safe out there. 🫡
amazing boots. wished they would come in bmc or od
Request noted. Honored to know the Urban Mid is hitting the mark for you.
Shoes are great. This is my second pair. Rhe first pair are still going strong. Just wanted to have a second pair ready for whenever the first set wears out
Absolutely love these. I am a Firefighter and, with the insoles, they are so comfortable. Way better than the all leather, no insulation boots I had before.
Thank you for the excellent field report, George. We are glad to hear the Urban is hitting the mark for you. Stay safe out there!
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 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 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.
As advertised
Excellent shoe
Thanks for the support and the review. We appreciate you! -Sarge
These are my favorite shoes. Probably my 6th pair hahahaha but I love them.
Now that’s what we like to hear. Six pairs means you’re putting in real miles—and the Urban Mid keeps showing up for duty. Appreciate the loyalty and the trust. We’ll keep building ’em mission-ready so you can keep stacking wins. Stay sharp.
The new footwear fit just right. A little heavier than I am used to since I have been wearing sandals all summer.
Glad to hear the fit is spot on. After a summer in lighter footwear, the added structure can feel different at first—but that support is there for a reason. Give them a little time and they’ll settle in for all-day comfort and stability. Appreciate you choosing us and trusting the gear.
Without a doubt, it is one of the best footwear I have ever purchased, and my team also confirms it. Here in Paraguay, we are pioneers in using it. It is very versatile, both for walking and for operating in different types of terrain.
That’s outstanding to hear — thank you for pioneering the Urban line in Paraguay. Versatility and performance across any terrain is exactly what these boots were built for. Appreciate you and your team choosing ALTAMA® for the mission.
Love the shoe but there needs to be more color options for the urban just as the maritime version has. Not sure why the urban shoe only has black.
Appreciate you running the Urban and sharing the feedback. We’ve fielded the Urban in multiple colors and heights before, but they just didn’t hold up in demand the way the Maritime lineup does. Black stayed mission-ready while the others cycled out. That said, notes like yours matter—we log every request, and if the demand builds, we’ll bring more options back online.
Fast shipping, high quality product, looks cool AND performs well - the perfect option for “low vis” footwear that looks like a sneaker and performs like a boot. Been looking at these for quite a while and finally ordered them - Absolutely recommend!
That’s exactly what we built them for; sneaker look, boot performance, and ready to move low-vis when needed. Glad the quality and speed hit the mark, and appreciate the solid recommendation. Thanks for finally pulling the trigger and running with us.
