John Bull Clothing has supplied Altberg boots to serving personnel, police officers and outdoor customers for over 30 years. Formerly based close to Catterick Garrison and Altberg’s Richmond home, we understand the differences between the AForme, medium and wider fittings and can offer practical guidance before you order. Their boots boast the renowned Altberg craftsmanship, ensuring unmatched durability, comfort, and support in any terrain or climate.
The company started small but quickly gained recognition for its superior footwear, catering to military, police, and outdoor enthusiasts. Each pair of outdoor boots is handmade in their Richmond factory, ensuring exceptional attention to detail and quality. Whereas the majority of their "off the shelf" Army and Police boots are made in their factory over in Italy where their craftwork is also worldly recognised and celebrated.
Over the years, Altberg has expanded its range, maintaining a focus on comfort, durability, and performance. Today, Altberg Boots remains a trusted name, known for its robust, reliable footwear tailored to meet the demands of challenging environments.

Altberg using the Finest Materials
Crafted from premium full-grain leather, Cordura and Suede, Altberg Boots offer exceptional strength and resilience, providing long-lasting protection and durability even in the harshest conditions. The high grade leather is treated with precision to enhance its water-resistant properties, keeping your feet dry and comfortable throughout your mission.
Featuring rugged and slip-resistant rubber outsoles, Altberg's new Defender High Traction Sole (HTS) in their Military Boots deliver superior traction and stability on diverse terrains, from rocky mountainsides to muddy trails. The advanced tread pattern ensures maximum grip and control, enabling you to traverse challenging landscapes with confidence and ease.
Altberg Engineering Boot Craft
Engineered with innovative support systems, Altberg Military Boots feature cushioned midsoles and contoured footbeds that offer superior shock absorption and arch support, reducing fatigue and minimising the risk of injury during extended wear. Additionally, reinforced ankle support and padded collars provide added protection and stability, ensuring unparalleled comfort and performance in the field.
All of the boots we sell from Altberg have the option of half sizes too, and wherever possible we'd always recommend you choosing 1/2 size up to your normal shoe/boot fitting. Altberg also use different width lasts when making their boots - We typically sell their Medium Fitting rand and their slightly wider AForme rand. Depending on the model of boot this information is provided under Product Specification, and worth checking. Normally any boot made on their AForme rand which is slightly wider than a conventional fit, would mean you going down 1/2 size too.
