Now i mostly agree in you get what you pay for but at £200 +....Are they 'That' good to justify £70 more than Iowa?

no chance.....

 

lowa and altberg are the best....

 

lowa are the toughest.....

altberg the comfiest.....

lowas too heavy IMO for everyday walking...

I use my Lowa combat gtx for hill walking do 12 miles no bother in them.

Brilliant boots, got them before I heard of Altberg so will buy them again, well worth the cash.

yep, i know the lowas and meindls are good, just fancied a change. You never said what style you had.? i see theres a new style for winter 2013 the "Trinafour" and they do look the biz...also Black islander used to deal with diotto but not now. and a keeper friend would still have the B I' s but the heather burning saw an end to them and he swore by them...again my heads pickled as what to get.....it might just be a case of "better the devil you know" and go with the dovre's, but i've always been a twisted c@nt and got to be different. ...just to add, theese will be used for shooting,rough walking and not for digging. ive got a pair of gronnell 4 season boots that will do for that, size 9 for sale

Altbergs top drawer old school option...

Or, this is a moden silicone option, from Scarpa, recomended to me from a chap that has walked in Napal every year for the last 12 years!
