What you won't see on the Altberg website is their Desert Hogg Boots, which are better for hot climates. No waterproof membrane, and with sections of Fabric paneling, and still with the same ankle protection and anti-crush soles (with walking boot tread) as their standard motorcycle boots.
They are not considered water proof, though they do provide their own brand Leder Bök water repellent spray to help if you are caught in showers or road spray.
They are entirely useable off the bike, equally at home in a pub, office or walking across mountains or pavements. Though the anti-crush sole means they aren't as flexible as Altberg's walking boots.
The picture doesn't do them justice. They are UK13 extra-narrow, but I did the laces up for the photo without my feet inside and it was that which makes them look weirdly long and narrow. When I'm wearing them, they look normally proportioned.
