DESCRIPTION
First developed in 1993 for a competition in America for the RAF Regiment (The Peacekeeper Challenge -1993). It quickly became the boot of choice for many UK police forces. This was the first boot in the UK to be certified to a police specification that included shock absorption, water repellency, breathability, flame resistance, etc. requirements specifically for police use. Certified to BSEN 20347:2012.
Altberg boots use top quality full grain leather and it is essential that the leather is treated regularly with Leder-Gris wax oil in order to keep the leather supple and enhance the life of the boot. See instructions in the Police Boots User Guide or click for more information.
