Boot Fitting Advice & Options

Altberg make technical boots for hiking, motorcycle, military, and police use. We make over 50 different styles in UK full and 1/2 sizes, as well as many width fittings. It is impossible for us to keep all sizes and fittings for all styles in stock. Over many years our stock holding has developed into three categories.

1. Stock Boots

2. Non-stock Boots

3. Non-standard Boots

STOCK BOOTS, NON-STOCK BOOTS & NON-STANDARD BOOTS

stock boots, non-stock boots & non-standard boots

stock boots

We stock our most popular boots on which we have higher demand, however, there can still be periods where demand exceeds our production and we ‘run out’ of stock on some sizes.

When this happens we check our production plan and if customers wish, they may order boots ahead off our production plan.

We contact the customer when the boots they have ordered have completed production and are being held in stock for them.

non-stock boots

These boots are not held ‘in stock’, but we will make a pair for customer specifically in the customers size

a. when a customer has worn Altberg boots in the past then we may accept an order without a factory visit because the customer is sure of sizing.

b. If a customer has never worn Altberg boots before then a visit to our factory shop will usually be necessary in order to assess the correct boot size. NOTE - these are standard boots from our catalogue, and are made with Altbergs normal patterns on standard lasts as specified in our brochure/catalogue. The brown Wayfarer boots shown in the picture opposite is an example of a non-stock boot.

c. Time to make non-stock boots is usually 8-12 weeks.

non-standard boots

These are based on standard boots/patterns, but we will have made some small modifications to help with a customers more specialist intended use or a specific fitting problem e.g. non-standard width or change of last.

Non-standard boots (or modified standard boots) usually require a customer to visit the factory for assessment and discussion before we go ahead.

Special terms & conditions apply and customer must confirm agreement before going ahead.

Time to make non-standard boots is usually 8-14 weeks.

Below is just one example of a modification, the midsole fitted into a standard boot is modified in order to help a customer who had slight problems with soreness/discomfort under the heel.
