Salomon Forces At SHOT Show
Saturday, January 16th, 2016Altama Introduces Jungle II Boot at SHOT Show
Friday, January 15th, 2016Altama listened to wearers of the classic US military jungle boot. As they worked to improve the boot, they concentrated in materials and kept the classic design. The resulting Jungle II boot improves areas of water absorption, puncture resistance, and comfort. They worked with US leather tanneries to significantly reduce the amount of water that is absorbed through the leather and replaced the steel plate with PunctureX material so now it covers the whole foot without any gaps. They also created a cushion-like midsole through a unique Dual Density Rubber (DDR) lasting. This process allows them to keep the rigid outsole but add comfort to the foot.
This video shows how it’s done.
So far I’ve seen Black and OD. Hoping for a Coyote model.
Altama Has Something To Show You At SHOT

Check out their latest boots at showcase booth #20149.
OR – Adidas
Saturday, January 9th, 2016I wanted to share a few shoes that will hit stores late next summer.
I really like the updated look of the Tracefinder which reminds of the old European Adidas outdoor boots of the 1980s. It combines Primaloft 200 gram insulation with a new collar design to keep snow and cold out. There’s also a waterproof Climaproof membrane. The shoe features Adidas boost technology midsole and a Continental rubber outsole.
The Conrax is snowshoe compatible with 200 grams of Primaloft insulation and a Clomaproof waterproof membrane. There is a lace cover for added protection as well. The sole is Continental rubber.
This insulated mid height shoe combines nubuck leater with ripstop fabric for an upper that is bonded to their Climaproof membrane. It uses an EVA midsole as well as a Stealth rubber outsole for sure grip on wet surfaces.
Above is a shot of the outsole. You may remember that Stealth rubber came to Adidas after they bought Five.Ten.
Also be on the lookout for new Down filled insulation layers in OD from Adidas.
OR – Salewa
Friday, January 8th, 2016This is the Ultra Train GTX. It incorporates a Michelin outsole which combines Michelin’s two best performing mountain bike tires. Obviously, it’s available in all Black.
The Trek Tail was inspired by the Firetail but they’ve opened the toe box up a bit. This urban hiker features Nubuck leather but no waterproof lining.
OR – Vibram Furoshiki Footwear
Thursday, January 7th, 2016 
I know these are wild looking but they are Vibram’s Furokishi footwear. The name comes from the Japanese word “to wrap and carry items with cloth” and that’s exactly what these do. Stretchable wraps extend off of the Vibram rubber sole to secure the fit with Velcro. This high top model is boot height but there are mid and low variants as well. The high top is lined with fleece for cold weather wear.
