An alternative to Altbergs, I have had these recommended to me.


Lowa Boots Combat GTX

Those Lowa boots are often used by soldiers who seek gucci (paid for) kit. They have a very good name. But for those of us on a tight budget, ex surplus army boots may be a better buy. Although not strictly a bike boot, they probably perform better than some boots marketed as bike boots.

British Army grade 1 boots for only £20. An excellent bargain for top notch military boots -

British Military Surplus

Designed for the Army in 1995 these things will protect your feet. If you bought the same thing new you would expect to pay about £100. Far better than flimsey trainers...

Grade 1 means almost unworn. This company (unlike others) does not send out worn out crap. Even their grade 2 is wearable.

The company is reliable. I have used them countless times for hunting clothing (cammo). The goretex stuff is particularly good buy.

You will NOT find British Army surplus cheaper.

The latest issue of Adventure Bike Rider magazine has a great review on adventure/touring boots.
