These look a similar offering from Altberg. https://www.altberg.co.uk/product/factory-stock-nordkapp/

Quite fancy a pair to complement my Gamekeepers. Spring purchase I think...

I’ve got the tethera Altberg walking boot they are light with a very stiff sole which I need as I’ve feet problems, 100% waterproof, I wear mine every day, they are a all day comfortable excellent boots, before you buy direct from Altberg check out local dealers as they often do them a bit cheaper.

The lacing system on these is fantastic.

I like that. Is it articulated/hinged?

[mackem 23,662]

Yup,it's called a cam-lock system

I like the lacing system on my Haix better, tbh I like the boots better, my Lowas cracked and split after 18 months, despite cleaning them (occasionally)

Cheers, D.

If they can handle this ground they can handle anything the UK can throw at them mate,I am wearing them in Tibet in a couple of weeks I only brought two pairs of footwear,these and a pair of flip-flops for India,the boots are great.

What Lowas were they D? My Hunter GTX didn't leak for 6 years and they had some serious stick.

I was going to take my altberg gamekeepers, but I'm now thinking of those ones I posted earlier. Their a-form heel really fits me nicely. I've had real trouble with fitting boots in the past so I'm a bit reluctant to try a new brand, otherwise I'd give those lowas a spin as I've heard nothing but good about them.

Lowa Men's Tibet, Meindl Unisex Boots, Kenetrek Men's Mountain Extreme are great brands with watrerproof and fit your need.

So I went for the Altbergs. They just fit me better than anything else I’ve tried. These new one, middle, are the best ever. They’ll be the only boot going to NZ with me.
