They have one of the contracts.. the small one. I do some work for [url]www.wellco.com[/url], the kings of military footwear. They designed the current issue boot, the first junglke boot and all newer designs, the desert boot, and others. All the DMS soles are made on thier machines, and Altama was started when they sold off one of thier plants to other investors. Once you wear thier new tuff-kushion sole, everything else sucks. Of course, I am kinda predjudiced as I was on the test team for it. |

forget those, go with Prospector. 10 inch high, all eyelets. leather gore-tex, thinsulate, black, to a sheeple they look like combat boots mine are water proof. the only porb is when they get completly submerged they take like 3 days to dry. these boots are warm. i've worm them in dead of winter -30 degrees CELCIUS not farenheight. walikng through thigh deep snow. i'm 6'2". they are great. plus, the sole on them is guaranteed fo as long as i own my feet. seriously. nice interior of boot for feet. about $220 CAN. the only other thing i would buy is all black jungle boots for mariitme operations. when i'm going to be swimming or getting completly soaked. let me put it this way, my feet have NEVER been wet in thes boots. even through ankle deep slush, out in rain storms for 2 hours, in deep snow, they're great. my only complaint is i wish the tread was a bit more aggresive. i'd buy another pair in a second.
