Responsive footbed, can feel lots of the terrain. Bit stiff at first, had to break in for 2 days. Shape of footbed puts a bit of extra strain on balls of my feet by big toe.
Thank you for the detailed feedback. The STRYKE is built to provide responsive ground feel and stable support, and a short break-in period is normal as the materials begin to flex and conform to your stride. We appreciate you noting the feel under the forefoot—fit and comfort can vary by individual.
All ALTAMA® footbeds are fully removable, allowing you to swap in aftermarket or orthopedic insoles that better match your foot shape and pressure points if needed. We appreciate you sharing your experience and helping others make an informed choice.
I live in Wyoming it got colder in my home town last year then the Artic circle. Check it out if ya like Bill nie the science guy pointed it out over a 100° temperature swing in a week. I need good boots i work 10 hours a day outside these are good boots that do not cost three hundred dollars$ that is pretty good in my book, also I'm a vet and Altima is a name that is old and true to me.
Now that is a field test. Wyoming cold, long hours, and no room for failure — that’s exactly what the STRYKE was built for. We’re proud to earn your trust, especially knowing ALTAMA® has been solid in your book for years. Thanks for the service, thanks for the feedback, and stay warm out there. Sarge’s got your six.
