Alt-Berg Mallerstang II

I'd not really heard of these until I went to buy some new mountaineering boots after discovering my Scarpa SLs just ripped my feet to pieces. I was determined to find some boots that really fitted - its something i often struggle with - I was suitably impressed by the range of fits available and even happier these were british made. I dont use them for summer walking as they are a bit too heavy and hot but for winter/cold weather I'm really happy with them - proabaly the best pair of boots I've ever owned!

Second pair of Alt-Berg boots ive owned, and are great. Can be a tad heavy/hot in full on summer conditions, but as we dont seem to get those, theres no need to worry. These boots will see me through my ML and beyond, in fact i dont contemplate buying another pair of boots for several years yet, although re-soling may be needed at some point in the future, but thats a simple trip to Alt Berg themselves, which is always a pleasure as no matter how busy they are, someone always finds time to come over and ask if they can help. i thouroughly reccomend getting a tin of their Leder Gris wax for use with the boots as its probably the best available and is very reasonably priced at only £2.50 for a large tin which will last you ages!
