Spring purchase I think... I’ve got the tethera Altberg walking boot they are light with a very stiff sole which I need as I’ve feet problems, 100% waterproof, I wear mine every day, they are a all day comfortable excellent boots, before you buy direct from Altberg check out local dealers as they often do them a bit cheaper.

dytkos 17,784 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 I like the lacing system on my Haix better, tbh I like the boots better, my Lowas cracked and split after 18 months, despite cleaning them (occasionally) Cheers, D. 2 Quote Link to post

I was going to take my altberg gamekeepers, but I'm now thinking of those ones I posted earlier. Their a-form heel really fits me nicely. I've had real trouble with fitting boots in the past so I'm a bit reluctant to try a new brand, otherwise I'd give those lowas a spin as I've heard nothing but good about them. 1 Quote Link to post
RobertGate 6 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Lowa Men's Tibet, Meindl Unisex Boots, Kenetrek Men's Mountain Extreme are great brands with watrerproof and fit your need. Quote Link to post
Born Hunter 17,751 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 So I went for the Altbergs. They just fit me better than anything else I’ve tried. These new one, middle, are the best ever. They’ll be the only boot going to NZ with me. 1 1 Quote Link to post
