This is Altberg’s first military ladies boot created back in 2002 and is loosely based upon the men’s tactical Sneeker Microlite boot but with modifications made with lower leg height for a more comfortable fit around the calves, and combined narrower heels and waists
We’d noted over many years of boot fitting that many female soldiers (and civilians) had difficulty in getting a good fitting boot when forced to use boots which were based on the main characteristics of a man’s foot. So, in 2002 we developed a ladies version of the AForme last, and so the first Altberg Ladies Sneeker military boot was developed.

Size and Fitting Advice
Here at John Bulls we’d recommend you choosing a 1/2 size above your normal shoe size as this allows for a thicker sock to be used with the boot
PLEASE NOTE: Altberg started introducing their new Defender Hi-Traction Sole onto their boots in June 2022 with an aim to replace all Vibram soles by February 2023. Practically all our boots now have the new Defender sole and sadly we can no longer order them with the older Vibram versions - These Defender soles are a far better sole in our opinion and the valuable feedback we're getting back from our customers
