Altberg Tabbing MK3 Schwarzer Polizeistiefel

They arrived so quickly. They fit amazingly. Really light and comfortable straight out of the box.

I love altberg boots. These are comfortable out of the box. Took about 50 miles to break in. Good for jogging in, although not as comfortable as running shoes! The rocker in the sole helps with forward motion. I bought them to help heal my posterior tibialis tendonitis whilst maintaining my ultra training, which cleared up within 2 weeks of wearing these boots. The leather is fairly soft, I'd say they may not last a lifetime, but with altberg offering repairs, I think they're worth it.

(I'm writing this in addition to the review I've already written, which was about my experience of buying the boots , rather than the boots per se)
These boots are well made from soft leather, which in addition to the AForme last (which suits my feet very well), makes them very snug and comfortable, and about as 'sporty' as a tall army boot can feel.
So far, I've used them for 2 walks - a bit over 10 km near my house and 13 km up and down to High Cup Nick in the Yorkshire dales. They are the most 'comfortable out of the box' leather boots I've ever had, whilst being sturdy and supportive. Whilst not being fully waterproof, they've already been through a few streams and deep puddles without my socks getting wet.
The only criticism I'd make is that I would have preferred standard hiking boot lace hooks on the leg of the boot, as they're a bit slow to lace up.

I bought a pair of Altberg Mk3 Tabbing boots, which John Bull sell for £25 less than the Altberg website. A had them within a few days of ordering.

These boots are outstanding. After years of struggling to find a pair that fit properly, I’ve finally found the perfect ones. They’ve been through everything — hills, streets, homes, and commercial sites — and have stood up brilliantly to the demands of my job as a paramedic. They’re so good I even bought my son a pair for hill walking, and he’s just as impressed. The only drawback is the price, but if you can stretch to it, they’re absolutely worth every penny.
