I love my Altbergs and have worn them to bits, through UK to India, and all round NZ. However I feel so vulnerable in them.
They are fantastic for tramping/hiking, doing security work where I am on my feet all day, but as soon as I go off road, if I am on a short trip, I swap back to Moto X boots.
Its all sods law though, 4 months ago I was wearing sidi adventure boots, took a tumble on a steep hill on an enduro track, only doing 5kph and broke 2 small bones in my ankle. I've also had a much faster road accident and not a scratch on me.
As for waterproofness, Adventure boots with membranes in them, once you go through a river, they will take days and days to dry out. I have sealskin socks, and put these on once by boots are wet if I'm riding through rivers, and put them on in the morning if its a day of riding in constant rain.
