Frequently Asked Questions
Will this boot work with standard military dive fins?
Yes, the OTB Maritime Assault Low uses a fin-friendly fit designed to accommodate dive fins used by militaries worldwide. The low-profile laces prevent pressure points during extended fin wear.
How does the boot handle water drainage?
The boot features front non-metallic drain ports that allow water to exit when you flex your foot. The Ultron PU insole does not absorb water, and the 1000D Cordura panels dry quickly after water operations.
What makes the SEAL Rubber outsole different?
SEAL Rubber was originally developed for rock climbing shoes and modified specifically for wet tactical operations. This creates one of the stickiest, highest-traction rubber compounds available for maritime missions.
Should I size up from my normal boot size?
Altama recommends going up one size if you normally wear a half size. This accounts for the fin-friendly fit and allows proper circulation during water operations.
