Description
The Altberg Falcon Pilots Boot is the third generation of Altberg pilots boot, this Mk 3 boot has improved lace stowage and reduced seams around the foot to decrease snagging or catching in the cockpit.
In 2016 we were approached by B.A.E. (British Aerospace Engineers) about the possible development of a pilot/aircrew boot.
Their requirements included compatibility with both aircraft cockpit as well as air crew pressure suits.
Our aircrew/pilots boots have been independently tested using ISO and BSEN test methods, and for some specific areas of aircraft and pressure suit compatibility we were supported by B.A.E.
Some key features of our range of aircrew boots are
- sole - zero debris pick up
- snag free upper design
- resistance to aircraft fuels and solvents
- flame resistant soft leather upper

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
