The 601MBK Abyss USA is a Berry compliant version of the popular 6″ water boot manufactured in Skowhegan, Maine.

It features a 2-part insole system so that it can be worn with dry suits or to accommodate thick socks. It features a Vibram outsole with integrated drain holes. The combination of synthetic and mesh make the upper very abrasion resistant yet breathable. In fact, it is designed to release all water in less than 3 minutes with testing indicating it can accomplish this feat in as little as 45 seconds.

The Abyss USA is already in use with US military units.

Salomon Quest 4D GTX Boots in Olive!

Sunday, March 18th, 2012

We’ve been writing about the amazing Salomon Quest 4D GTX Boots boots for some time. First in Grey, then Brown and now they’re available in Olive! During last weekend’s excursion to Richmond we stopped by REI and lo and behold, there they were.

The color combo is actually Olive, Dark Olive and Black and for those of you in Woodland or Alpine environments this might be just the ticket.

Built on the same last as the Salomon XA Pro 3D, the sole relies on Salomon’s 4D Chassis. The outsole has an ascending lug pattern in the front and a braking pattern in the rear. There’s also a cushioning pad beneath the foot, the chassis to protect against twisted ankles, and then an additional cushioning pad to absorb rocks and roots underfoot (4 layers= 4D). Finally, the boot is also Gore-tex lined.

Old Soles Don’t Die – They Just Move to England to be Mated to New Uppers

Thursday, March 15th, 2012

UK boot maker Altberg has mated their popular Jungle Micro upper to the classic Panama sole.

Seen here is the Jungle Micro upper which features a polypropelene graded midsole for underfoot support and protection and Anfibio 2.4mm leather/Cordura construction.

Designed during the height of the Viet Nam war, the Panama tread seen below is designed to release mud but maintain traction on slippery jungle trails.

Available in UK sizes 5 – 11.5
