Lightweight 2-3 season leather walking boot
Description
The Malham is a day hiking boot for hill waking on paths and trails. The leather is very soft and supple to give excellent comfort with very little ‘walking in required’. The Malham boot is made on the Altberg AForme last which has a narrow heel and waist, the toe of the boot is sprung slightly upwards, so that the boot rolls forward when walking, which enhances comfort and balance on hills and uneven terrain. The boot is very lightweight (672g size 9) and the micro layer between the sole and foot gives excellent shock absorption.
NOTE: With soft leather boots - follow the instructions in the Altberg bootcare user guide. For bootcare advice, please see videos on Drying Out Leather Boots and Treatment for Water Repellent Boots.
For more information on the development of the Malham Boot please watch our video.

Size & fitting advice
The AForme refers to the more asymmetric shape of the 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.
