Hello. I can't comment on the Warrior/Defender boots, but I do have a pair of the Altberg Tetheras. Firstly, they are great boots: hugely comfortable, you almost forget that you're wearing them. I am normally a 9.5, but I had to go up a full size in the Altbergs, so a 10.5. Then you have the 5 width fittings. I have pretty wide feet so I went for the extra wide fit, which is grand. I think that it is important to try these on rather than hoping that they will be ok. If you could manage, a trip to the factory/shop would be an idea, but again if you're along way from Richmond that might not be a

I'd really appreciate some help and advice with this. Thanks in advance.

Evening everyone. Those of you who still use fell boots, how good is the ankle support, and if you have a pair made by William Lennon, how heavy are they? Many thanks.

Hello. I recently bought a pair of Altberg Tethera boots. They were from an outdoor company online and cost £161.95. I think normally they are about £180. I initially bought a 10 wide but found that I needed to go up a half size and went for the extra wide option. They are extremely comfortable and will do me very well I think. Perfect with gaiters. They are not as high leg as the altberg gamekeeper, for example, but they still provide more than adequate ankle support. Best wishes, Hector
