OP Tactical Has Altama Maritime Assault Boots – Low, In Stock

Saturday, August 5th, 2017

It seems like we've all been waiting with bated breath for Altama's new line of Maritime Assault Boots to hit the market, but they finally made it.

With Uppers made from 1000D Cordura, they are fin friendly and incorporate mesh drain holes. The sole system includes a removable Ultron PU insole, full-length one-piece ABS shank for stability and support when climbing a caving ladder, and sticky SEAL Rubber outsoles with a Panama tread pattern.

They are offered in MultiCam, Black and Coyote. These are full-size shoes (7-14) with no half-sizes, so it's best to size up.

So far, O P Tactical has the low top model in stock. Look around the web and you should be able to find the mid-top soon as well.

ORSM 17 – LALO Tactical Jungle Boot

Thursday, July 27th, 2017

LALO Tactical is introducing their take on the classic jungle book. Offered with Black, OD, and Coyote side panels the boots integrate an interesting reinforcement to prevent ankle rolls. You can see the reinforcement in the photo and it works in conjunction with the laces to lock the heel in place and stabilize the ankle. 

On production models the drain holes on the on the instep will be eliminated due to the drainage built into the sole system.

The sole features the classic Panama tread and incorporates stippling at the instep for fast rope descents.

The boot will be manufactured in Cambodia, making them TAA compliant.

Thursday, July 27th, 2017

McRae Terassault® T1 Hot Weather Performance Combat Boot

Quantico Tactical is proud to announce the availability of McRae Terassault® T1 Hot Weather Performance Combat Boots via our GSA Schedule, DLA TLS contract, in our stores and via our website.

McRae Industries introduced the Terassault® T1 in early 2016. The T1 is made in USA, Berry amendment and AR670-1 compliant. The T1 is the company’s first entry into high performance boots developed and made in the USA. T1’s progressive design is an evolution of the lessons learned from over 50 years of military boot manufacturing. The Terassault® T1 bottom platform has been developed to provide utmost traction and stability in almost any environment and improved shock attenuation over traditional mil-spec boots.

The McRae Terassault T1 Hot Weather Performance Combat Boot is the boot to fit your needs.

• McRae Terassault® T1 Hot Weather Performance Combat Boot (Coyote)
• 8” height
• Genuine cowhide suede and 1000 denier nylon upper.
• Breathable lining reduces risk of fungus and helps eliminate odor.
• Uniquely designed upper with forefoot seams facing back to reduce snagging and hanging in rough terrain/environments.
• Padded collar with tendon relief dip in back.
• Stitched toe and heel tabs to minimize risk of bottom separation. These are the areas of a boot most prone to begin to separate in hard wear.
• Cushion orthotic footbed — can be removed and washed.
• Sizes available: 5-12, 13 R&W

In hot, humid conditions much like what we are currently experiencing can be hell on soldiers’ feet. McRae industries, only 20 miles from Ft. Bragg, NC understands this fully. This ultra light, yet durable boot has functional flex points in front and back that allow articulation of the upper for greater Freedom of ankle movement.

The Terassault T-1 has been tested to great success by multiple military organizations. Many long-time adherents to other brands have described the Terassault as the most comfortable boot they have worn. Users have described the break-in of the boot as the shortest among boot brands they have tried.

McRae Footwear received its first United States Department of Defense contract for combat boots in 1967 and has steadily provided footwear to our military forces since that time. Over the years, McRae Footwear has proudly manufactured millions of pairs of combat boots for the United States Military that meet the specifications they have required.

McRae Footwear is committed to manufacturing high quality footwear for the United States Armed Forces for many years to come.

Warrior East 2017 – Footwear Preview From Salewa

Monday, July 17th, 2017

Over the past several years, Salewa footwear has become the choice of military, LE, and other tactical users. The Trooper (coming 2018) is the first dedicated tactical boot in their line.

The Trooper is an all Black model, based on the next generation of the Mountain Trainer Mid. However, Salewa has removed all of the metal, and the hooks you see on this prototype will be loops on the production model. Additionally, the Trooper is leather lined.

There will also be an updated version of the Mountain Trainer Leather. Like the Trooper, it will be leather lined.

It will incorporate a new outsole from Vibram.

Finally, Salewa is updating the Wildfire Vent with a wider toe box and forefoot and a new sole system from POMOCA, a name which you may recognize for their climbing skins. The outsole features a sticky rubber.

All three of these Salewa models will be landing in 2018.
