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!
Description
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.
