LIGHTWEIGHT MILITARY DESERT BOOT BASED ON RUNNING SHOE TECHNOLOGY AND DYNAMICS
Description
This boot was developed in 2009 as a more robust running/tabbing version of the legendary Desert Microlite. The last (footshape) upon which it is made is the AForme® (men’s), which uses running shoe dynamics and technology. The leg of the boot is lower to enhance mobility when running on desert slab or rough terrain. Underneath the foot the sole gives good torsional stability and shock absorption, and the breathability of the boot is excellent - the suede and Cambrelle® lining combination allows air circulation and fast drying.
**(SF = No hooks - will be introduced during the period December 2022 to May 2023)**
NOTE: with suede boots - always dry very slowly, follow the instructions in the Altberg suede boot user guide. Please also see video on Suede Boots - Drying Out & Treatment.

Size & fitting advice
For medium feet we suggest that you go up ½ a size on your SHOE size - this will allow for a thick sock with the boots. The AForme® refers to the more asymmetric shape of this last. Many of the features are taken from running shoe characteristics, a narrower heel and waist to hold and support the rear of the foot, an increased upwards toe lift (rocker), reduced sideways pressure on the large toe, and a wider forefoot with slightly above medium volume.
