Built by the original designers behind the Altama Maritime Assault Boot, the OTB Men's Pirata Mid Boot rounds out the Pirata Series with a design geared toward above-waterline tactical use. A full-length Fusion Plate adds rigidity through the shank for tasks like climbing caving ladders, while the lightweight Future Foam midsole gives a running shoe-like feel that still holds up under the weight of a full ruck. The Grip Stik outsole grips wet surfaces with excellent traction, and a removable water-friendly footbed with drain holes keeps water from pooling inside. A quick-dry air mesh lining and tongue, paired with non-absorbent PE foams, help these boots dry fast after getting wet, while mesh-backed drain ports and 1000D Cordura side panels add durability and drainage where it matters most. A no-sew, eyelet-free upper prevents pressure points when wearing dive fins on longer swims. These boots run true to size, though a wide width with the footbed removed is recommended for dry suit use.
