[Guest]

The boots I ordered in march finally arrived today, I haven't tried them out on the bike yet, but they're lovely and comfy for walkin around the house in

I've had Altberg Field & Fell boots for years, just had them refurbished, new soles, new lining, new front section & new insoles In all the time I've had them my feet haven't got cold or wet... which is nice B)

Reminds me of the Only Fools & Horses joke about Trigger and his brush.

Linky dinky doo

I got these, they were highly reccomended by everyone I met who had a pair.

I was thinking about getting a pair of Alt bergs at the Scottish Bike show this year - only I went on the day it was snowed off. Everybody who has them says they are excellent, but I would want to try 'em on for size. How did you get round that Emmet? Meanwhile trusty old Heinz Garlicke booties continue to disintegrate from the inside out. Maybe should change socks.

I ordered them at the scottish bike show

I had to get them made 'cause I've got wide footses, so they took a while to arrive.

They will send you a pair, and if you don't like the fit they'll replace 'em or refund ya.

Thanks Emmett, thats a good service. I reckoned cos they make walking boots they'd be good for touring, for those days when you want to go for a stroll. Can't hobble more than 100 yards in the moto x boots.

They are really comfortable, I got them with walking boot soles to make a stroll a bit easier, but the sole is still very rigid.

Emmett - which model did you get?

I'm in the market for some new boots, those from Alt Berg look good but I'd have to find out if they have a US distributor.

[Andy R]

We get Alt Berg's issued as standard kit at work. I love 'em. My spare pair is used when I'm riding my TDM.

I think they're called the clubman roadster, I considered the lace ups, which look better, but they were 2 season boots and I ride all year round, cause I'm hard as nails

You outed as Plod then? B)


I've got some Peacekeepers (lace-ups), coz the zip-ups don't fit my twisted limbs and the build quality is excellent.

[gazman]

...Aaaghhh BOOTS! BIG LACE-UPS


Such fond memories..........


What "treatment" do you apply....

Wasn't aware that I should be keeping my job a secret

I certainly don't define myself by it.

Ooooh a sensitive copper ! I knew there had to be one.

Just kidding
- I was being smart at guessing who would get Altbergs issued at work.
