Altama Maritime Assault Review & Other River Shoe Options

[@testpilot1us]

That sucks about the Altama, was just about to pull the trigger on a pair. Astrals have failed at the stitching and separating between the sole and cloth. They did warranty the stitching one without a problem. Aquaseal on the separation works great. The Adidas Hydro-lace is discontinued. The search continues. Thanks for the great video!

Those of us wearing Altama for the intended purpose like them alot. They where not made for walking in the places you tried to apply them. They do evacuate water quickly and help speed up drying while worn.

The difference in traction between the Altamas and the Astrals is negligible, and the Altamas will last at least twice as long with identical usage patterns at a little over half the price. I converted to Altama three years ago for hiking and river guiding. Wool socks keep the feet warm and the sand and pebbles out. My only complaint is that they don't have drains in the heal.

Teva are the best!

I too tried a pair of maritime assaults and was unimpressed. Compared to my sub $30 barefoot trail runners that have been serving as water shoes, the MA were a bit more comfortable wet without socks, but the wet traction was sooooo bad.

Have you tried the palm gradient?

[@Wildwater-river]

Haven't, ill need to check those out. Thanks!

Try the adidas 5/10 trailcross Mtb shoe

[@Wildwater-river]

Was tempted to jump on those, but managed to find the hydro lace in my size. When these eventually die I'll likely have to give the Mtb shoes a shot.
