Altberg Defender Boots - size 9m

[Philster]

Hi Folks
Got a pair of Altberg Defenders in brown for sale - size is 9M. They are in nearly new condition as I've worn them out for walks twice but have finally admitted to myself that they are too tight for me. Virtually no wear on the soles (Vibram!) there are a few scuffs on the right toe - apart from that they are lovely. I've polished them with Leder Gris so they are soft and supple. Have a look at the photo's for more details.

great price


FYI just in case you aren't aware have removed the volume adjuster that gives you half a size more volume?

Thanks Johny - yes, done that. I've got funny feet (left is almost a size bigger than right)!

Where's the volume adjuster on Altberg boots? I'm on my third pair and I've never heard of that; can you really get these to fit half a size bigger?

 

[johnnythefox]

its just a thin insole, for the Defender series in particular it was designed like that at the MODs behest

for other styles you buy the exact size I found narrow fits me better than medium in their styles

here you go



Sizing and fitting is UK Military Specification. 3mm spacers (supplied with the boots) are used underneath the footbeds to ‘fine tune’ the fitting. Click here for details of our UK Military Boot Fitting System.

and size chart is here

so for me to get 11 and a 1/2 my normal Altberg size with other boots of theirs

I had to buy 11 wide and remove the spacer they then fit me perfect

just see the chart

I hope this helps helps [remember this is for the defender boots only as far as I know]

Great stuff, I'd never heard of that before; thanks for the info.

Before cleaning mine after a trip out I removed both insoles, as per instructions to aid drying, forgot to put them in back in for my next jaunt in the hills, ankle twists and a blister too as result of my stupidity. Great boots though, comfy right out of the box.

I'm a 9m. I don't suppose you're after any metal work are you? I've spent all my spare cash for the month.
