Got to be one of the best
:D Hi ive used this brand of boot for the last six years or so, a friend of mine has used them for at least fifteen years or more, as he lives in the same area as the manufactures he has recommended them to many people over the years, one person was so taken with them that the thought of not being able to get them in the future if the company went out of business was to much, so he brought four pairs! that was several years ago and he's still on his first pair 'maybe he'll leave them to his kids!
I would highly recommend them as ive used them for biking and field sports and they have never let me down, totally warm, dry, and comfortable, not even when new did they need any breaking in! all the best Jim |
+1
Agree on the boots, got a pair of hoggs, brilliant, like a pair of slippers as I had them made to measure at the factory. warm, dry, comfortable for hiking.

I had heard lots of good stuff about Altberg.
Then I bought a pair of their boots.... I have been very dissapointed, a decent product but abosultely dreadful customer 'care' (if you can call it that). I refuse to have anything to do with them EVER again..... But each to their own. Phil |
you can get a further discount (from GBP169 down to GBP129 for hogg originals) by registering on their website. who knows what catch there is, i will wait and see.

Just bought a pair!!
Just bought a pair of hog all weathers at Silvermans in Mile end (east london). They stock a few altberg boots. (they have web site)
I paid £140 for mine. I normally wear a size 12 but bought a 11. So if you do buy on line make sure of the size!! But nevermind the costs etc.... They are GOOD BOOTS!!!!! Comfortable as!! |
Panic...help!
I just bought a pair of the Altberg Hogg Microlites - great boots but the fit on my crazy heterogenous feet just wasn't right. (Altberg were super-helpful and friendly and gave me a full refund).
So, I leave for the big one in about 10 days from London (Europe, Middle East, Africa...) - I want something that can act as my only pair on shoes/boots, that I can comfortably walk around in and that have good protection.... the altbergs were great for all of these reasons plus they're breathable. I've checked out lots of posts but to be honest am no closer to finding a replacement (and fast!) for the altberg - does anyone have any great ideas? Thanks in advance Gareth |
Boots to suit
My riding mate wears Altberg walking boots for the reasons that you identify - just got to be careful that the laces don't get tangled up with the pegs and you end up dropping the bike, but that is manageable........
So, any waterproof walking boot that is good for your fit and high enough to keep out the wind while riding - --- Lowe perhaps, but try any good climbing/hiking shop with a big range of boots in stock. Thats my 2 cents worth! Dave |
Check out the site!
Welcome to Silverman's Secure Online Store
When I phoned altberg they gave me the above address. They have loads of boots. Lowa included. I found Lowa very hard walking, but then I am comparing them to the altberg. Good luck! you still have to walk them in!! orrin |
