Great thanks, your UTD fin straps are magnificent!
After recently exploring lace up boots for drysuit diving I settled on these due to zippological access
It's always about minimal time spent gearing up quickness for me, size 16 fit no slop in XXL eddys
Godsend for size these eddys
Gusset only comes half way up the tongue-laces but the soles are a rocky shoredivers dream

I purchased a pair of the mid height Altama boots a few years ago for a job where I am on a boat patrolling waterways overnight and they have since become my favorite shoes. I have not worn them with fins yet, they don’t fit into the foot pockets of any of my current fins, but I have swam with them. I now have multiple pairs and plan on getting a pair of fins that they will work with.
The low rise Altama are my go to shoes for working on the boat. Fast drying with a rubber toe cap that keeps rolling tanks from crushing your toes. The mid height ones are my wetsuit boots. I wear them with a neoprene sock for thermal protection.
Been wearing the mid-raise Altima's for a while now in Puget Sound. I had to go up from a normal size 11 to Size 13 as I have a Santi with the thicker socks, but they are so much better than the EVO3's and EVO4's, and seem to be holding up a magnitude better. I probably have 130 dives on them and there's no appreciable wear on the boots.

I bought a pair a couple of years ago based on SB comments when my Bare boots wore out. They seem much more durable. I needed 2 sizes up from my normal shoe size and to go wide (I wear liner socks, wool socks, and booties on my feet inside my drysuit) and had to pull out the insoles to get them to work, but they've been great. No concerns, easier to get on/off than the Bares were, and seem like they should last a long, long time. My old Bares were about the same labeled size as my regular shoes, so if ordering by mail (as I did), getting the right size may require a return for a different size; I had to do that.
