Review: Alt-berg boots

Alt-berg is a small business that started life making walking boots but as the owners are motorcyclists they soon moved into motorcycle touring boots. The boots are constructed using walking boot technology; a Skywalk dual density sole stitched into a lined upper, with insulating insoles. The motorcycle boots though have nylon reinforcement around the heel, ankle padding, side zip opening concealing a cordura bellows, shin pad, and gear change pads. A pity they use leather.

After many 'phone calls I found a supplier of Lorica and Alt-berg agreed to make me a single pair of boots. Prices were agreed, sizes tested and two weeks later (excluding delays caused by me) I had two boots (not a pair as my feet are odd sizes) ready for collection.
