Altama Delta Corporation was founded in 1969 in Darien, Georgia where the Altamaha River meets the Atlantic Ocean. Originally a children's shoe plant, the facility was converted to manufacture green jungle boots for U.S. Soldiers stationed in Vietnam.

ALTAMA moved its headquarters to Atlanta, Georgia in December of 1987, and today designs, manufactures, imports, sells and distributes 18 different styles of high performance combat, tactical and police duty boots, some available in 133 different sizes.

For 35 consecutive years, ALTAMA has been a prime contractor to the United States Department of Defense, supplying a wide range of military specification (Mil-Spec) footwear to thousands of military personnel worldwide. ALTAMA proudly enjoys being the most recognized name in military footwear.
