This version is now being discontinued, the newer version is the Nordkapp Hiking Boot.
Based on the tried and tested Altberg Tethera. The Nordkapp is a classic 3 season hill walking boot, suitable for Lakeland Fells and the Scottish hills.
The upper is a seamless one piece construction, made from first grade Italian Nubuk, backed up by a Sympatex® waterproof lining. Added protection to the upper comes from a full rubber rand with increased height around the toe. The underfoot support comes from a polypropylene midsole with a level 3 flex and gives excellent torsional support and stability underfoot.
The main difference between the Tethera and Nordkapp is the fitting (last). The Nordkapp is made on the A-Forme® foot shape, which has an asymmetric forefoot, increased toe spring and a narrower heel.
Specifications:
• Leather: First grade Italian Nubuk 2.4-2.6mm • Lining: Sympatex, waterproof, breathable membrane lining • Midsole: 3 season rough terrain • Sole: Vibram® Masai/Micro • Size: 4-14 (inc ½ sizes) • Widths: A-Forme® • Weight: 730gms (size 9)
I bought this for my partner who does a lot of hiking. As soon as he tried them on he said they fit like a glove and felt comfortable straight away. He went for half a size up. These are the best boots he’s ever had and they didn’t even need breaking in. I got his a boot bag to accompany them. Over the moon!
