shovel leaner 7,650 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Altberg gave me SHIIT customer service last time i went in... But theyre probably puffed out with the same old squaddie wankerss .. They are the best bar none... Wouldnt use meindl to pick the dog shiit up.... Altberg all the way... Then lowas after that... Then adidas flip-flops..... Meidle are a very good boot , but you must look after them , i keep mine for shoot days cos they look the business with my suit , so i clean them and use URAD JO JO on them , ive had them three years and they are as good as new . The boot that i use everyday , on the quad , digging and generaly abusing , is the Haix trekker , it is a bit on the heavy side but they are indistructable and i have never cleaned or looked after them since i bought them , and they are still in good nick !!! 1 Quote Link to post
dirty twister 31 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Anybody who suffers with cold feet use Altbergs? What they like? I never used to have a problem with cold feet but the last few years my circulation's been crap and I now get terrible trouble with cold feet. Looking for a decent pair of boots that are waterproof, ultra warm and really hard wearing. I've found them warm so far but we've not had any real cold weather since I've had these I've had two other pairs of altbergs which were brilliant boots I bought some of the falke merino socks which altberg sell They are excellent wick moisture away from your feet I think good socks are very important as well as good boots 1 Quote Link to post

shootlodge 145 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Brasher gtx II for about £110 , last 3 years+ if cleaner, superb comfortable 100% warm & dry ! Quote Link to post
B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Got my new altbergs today... The guys in the factory say they are still made in yorkshire.... Good enough for me! .... Went for the defenders this time.... And feck me... they feel comfy... They come with a 'spacer' ... which you slip under the insole and fills the boot out that 5mm extra... which can make the difference between correct fitment..... rubbing and no rubbing.... Or so they told me ... Altberg are great boots! 1 Quote Link to post
