this is the only review I could find about the Altama for their proper use, every other video about this is cringe wannabe operators wearing them for daily walkers.
Wanted to get these for awhile now. My boots are wet almost 6 days a week. for the price tag of these boots, I could get 3 pairs of neoprene hardsole boots that will last me 2 years or longer. just don't konw how long will the adhesives last if it's being wet all the time.
If you are getting 2 or more years out of a conventional boot with that usage schedule, I am not sure how beneficial these will be to you. The primary reason why I was interested in them is that they don't retain water between dives and they are much sturdier than a conventional boot. The Mares Trilastic boots and the Altamas are almost the same price at the moment. I have some pairs of Trilastics that are at least 8 years old. So, at my usage rate, I expect the Altamas to last at least the same amount of time.
@@DAHOMIE_RONE in my case the sizing was too small. My normal street shoes are 10.5 wide. I needed to go to an 11 wide in the Altama maritime assault 8 inch boot. I discuss this a bit in video #166 which is an update to this video.

I love Marine Assault use case and how it is represented properly.

How did you go on with pinching in the 8 inch boot when finning?
Thanks Jc 🇬🇧
@@johncooper3171 I did not have any pinching issues when finning. I did not really notice any difference at all.
Since i wear a 14.5, should i get a size bigger or get a 14
