Altberg Jorvik Trail Shoe

Description

The S Fit Jorvik shoe is designed to be worn with a thinner shoe (or liner) sock.

The upper is made from two piece of soft supple water repellent leather, with minimal seams or stitching. Classic quality outdoor shoe design which is suitable for either everyday urban use, or rural walks and rambles.

Lining is Sympatex®, latest technology 'moisture tech', below the ankle, this gives a measure of water repellency, but should not be compared with the level of water proofing in an above the ankle hiking boot.

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.

Size & fitting advice

The SFit last (footshape) has similar characteristics to the Altberg AForme last, but has slightly less volume with a lower instep. A classic shoe last (footshape) design. Suitable for shoe fitting where a medium or a thinner liner sock may be used. The shape is asymmetrical with good toe depth and the heel is slightly more curved, a typical 'shoe heel curve', which is different to the classic 'boot heel curve'.

Brilliant footwear.

Some time back I visited the Altberg factory for a boot fitting.
I have had two pairs of Altberg boots since then and although I will be 78 yrs old soon, I’m still wearing them. I walk with an all terrain rollator now but I always have the Altberg boots on. Through fields and woodlands my feet have always been dry, warm, stable and comfortable. I have been very happy with them.

A couple of years ago I decided to have a pair of Jorvik shoes too. I know that they are pricey but as my mum used to say “ You get what you pay for.” The shoes are brilliant. I feel safe and stable when out and about in them and plenty of folk have admired them.

I can’t thank Altberg enough. I thoroughly recommend their boots and shoes. I also advise you to visit the factory if you can for a proper foot measurement like I did, after all, the Yorkshire Dales is a lovely place to visit and walk.
