I've owned/tried most of the high end boots and very expensive (Danner Acadia, Adidas GSG9, Magnum Elite, Meindl Kampfstiefel Light, Lowa, Haix )on the market nothing is better than Altberg especially the Peacekeeper P1 original, I cannot stand Gore-tex boots I hate the clammy hot feeling when wearing them (yes I wear high quality socks with them merino wool Darn Tough or Smartwool Phd). I'm hoping to save a lot of people a lot of money, the Altberg Peacekeeper P1 original (not the Aqua) is the best Leather/Black uniform boot you can buy ...trust me I've tried them all. And if you're a police officer even a student officer , order via telephone and you will get a substantial discount ...with the discount they will cost around £108 directly from Altberg. I find it ridiculous when people spend over £100 on Adidas and Magnum made in China boots when they could buy Altbergs for the same price Made in the UK/Italy.

Decent little review there bud. Probably not enough reviews of Altberg for police use. I like nice boots and have previously been wearing LOWA, however ive swapped for the peacekeeper and they are perfect for everything. I bought the aqua due to the time of year, but will definitely buy the originals as the weather warms up. Far lighter than LOWA, but i suppose LOWA do have more leather and are more rigid at the heel. But in comparison, Altberg are better for driving and running without any difference in comfort. All in all Altberg are better all around, have a great range and offer great discount. Cant ask for more. Decent review pal.

Many thanks mate - sadly after a couple months of incessant use (including wading through a river) my boots aren't anywhere near as clean as they are in this video! Cleaned them off and they're still doing their job flawlessly, however.

I'm going back and forth to find the right size of these, they seem to be the optimal choice for NHS security. This review helps me think I've made the right choice.

Glad to hear it! They're solid boots all around. In my experience, I have found Altberg to have pretty decent 'true' sizing and I've never had a problem.

Thanks for doing a decent review. In my opinion Altberg make the best boots, & like other's have I've tried just about every boot on the market. I wear the Peacekeeper P3vs which having a steel toecap, & a midsole insert are ideal for use in a workshop environment, & unlike many steel capped boots they're still quite light, & not too 'clunky'. Plus, being classed as safety boots there's no VAT to pay. The Peacekeeper sole is also the best non slip sole I've found, end of! As said in another comment, I too detest Goretex or similar lined boots. I do a lot of walking with the dog, & I find that regular application of Altberg's recommended Leder Gris keeps the leather waterproof & supple. It's also nice to support a British company.

Absolutely, I agree with you entirely! I still wear these exact same boots since doing this review. They've received a few scuffs in the line of duty and that's about it - still warm, comfortable and waterproof.

Good review. I work for the ambulance service and have dodgy feet. they let me get a pair of the p3's, drove up there to get my feet sized up they told me my feet were size 7.5 so i took the size 7.5. in hindsight i think I should've taken the size 8 but as yet no problems. I'm doing my best to keep them well polished and shiny apparently they have a reputation for them to be difficult to get a good shine, i've spent hours on my boots and i've got somewhat of a decent shine. I had the choice of the standard ones, Aqua or VS. I decided against the VS as they were MUCH too heavy and went for the Aqua. what i will say is although "breathable" they don't have make your feet sweaty. ive had to start changing socks half way through my 12 hour shifts to avoid any issues. but otherwise a well recommended boot.

I had the exact same experience with my Altberg P3 Aqua's - excellent boots but they are very warm, especially in the summer! The regular ones reviewed above are my second Altberg pair and whilst not being sold by Altberg as "waterproof" (I've never had them let water in and they have performed better than many other waterproof boots I own) they are a lot more breathable and kinder to your feet in that respect. I've worn the above, non-waterproof pair through the 'Beast from The East' storm recently and had no issues whatsoever. Stay safe and keep up the good work!

I’ve got the P3VS and they took a while to get a shine but now They have quite a decent shine- so comfortable and even though they are not waterproof they’ve held up to torrential rain with dry feet. I personally have never had a problem with them being too hot even with the temperatures last summer!

Great review, would you still recommend these at the current time? On the altberg website you are greeted with so many different ones and personally I was looking at either the warrior or sneeker just because of the fact that I wanna be quick and light on my feet.

Me and my friend are due to start in July as student officers and were planning to head up to the altberg factory, it is quite a drive so I am just wondering whether they fit and make them quickly, on the same day? or you have to get them delivered, thanks
@sierra2475

First of all - congratulations and good luck! I had my boots delivered as the original pair I purchased were the perfect fit for me personally and I could not justify the cost in fuel to drive up! But then again, that is just me and my personal circumstances. I am under the impression that Altberg will make them the same day for you. I believe they do this by specifically measuring your foot, selecting the closest fitting boot and if you would still like a custom fit they then shape and remould that boot using heat and steam to the measurements they took. My advice in this instance would be to give Altberg a call directly for specifics as they are very helpful.

Truth be told I am not sure of many shops you can walk into to try them! I've tried having a quick look online and I was not able to spot anywhere. If you live close(ish) I'd recommend popping into Altberg directly and speaking with them. Cheers!
