New Product Review By Josh Silverman Altai Boots HIGH QUALITY FOOTWEAR Manager of the brand, and we arranged WITH A HIGH-TECH EDGE! for a test pair so I could see for myself just When my friend David Justin, who you might know better as The Reaper, told me he had a new sponsor of course I was happy for him. He puts his best foot forward for our game, sport and industry every chance he gets. When I found out that his best foot, both of them actually, would be wearing boots from Altai going forward in his paintball adventures, I was intrigued and started doing a little homework. After all, as coincidence would have it, I also play paintball and have feet. After a little time on the Altai website and some very positive feedback from the Reaper who seemed to be quite impressed with his Altai boots, I was put in touch with Ryan Begin, the Marketing how good their boots really are. Having done so, I can only hope he doesn’t want these things back. Altai makes a hell of a pair of boots that come standard with a high-tech edge! As luck would have it, though I’m not sure whether it’s good luck or bad, my test pair of Altai eight-inch tan side-zip combat- style boots (model MFM100Z) showed up just in time for a historic cold snap here in Northern Virginia, with snow and ice blowing in and temperatures plummeting to the single digits with wind chills around zero. That said, there are plenty of places around where the weather’s been much worse, but for a southern boy with summer on his mind, it’s more than rough www.paintball.media 0107
