Altberg Mens Fremington Boots - Extra Wide Width

Season:S23

Brand:Altberg

Code:P-2237-88

The Men’s Fremington is a classic British design 2-3 season walking boot, ideal for use in typical mixed UK terrain and climates. Virtually unchanged for the past 15 years, it is Altberg's best selling walking boot.

The boot uses water repellent full grain Anfibio leather, backed up by a Sympatex waterproof lining. The slightly above ankle height of the soft nubuck cuff allows for adequate freedom of movement when walking, but still provides support on more uneven ground. The midsole is 2-3 season support for mixed terrain, and the classic Vibram sole has a midlayer of lower density PU, which provides comfort and shock absorption on harder ground.


Please note: Due to Vibram discontinuing the Werewolf sole (picture two), Altberg have replaced the sole with a Vibram Masai. This sole is visually different and features a rand which does slightly change the appearance of the boot. Due to mixed stock, we are unfortunately unable to specify which sole you will receive. Please feel free to contact us for further information.

  • Altberg Mens Fremington Boots - Extra Wide Width review by Dave, on 19/09/2022 10:46:19

    3
    Not very wide for extra wide boots and they have a narrow tapering toe box on both sides, so the big toe is pushed inwards and the little toes rub. Im a UK 10 and I gave my foot measurements to Taunton Tech support and they decided I was a UK 12 extra wide. Front to back, the boots were enormous as youd expect and felt like clown shoes, even with thick socks on. They were still slightly too narrow, though. On the plus side, these boots are well made, look great and feel like they would last. Response from Taunton Leisure: Sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the service provided by our tech support team. We have contacted you via email to determine whether there is anything further we are able to do to assist you with the issues experienced. If you have even moderately wide feet, or a more square foot, then these are probably not for you.
  • Altberg Mens Fremington Boots - Extra Wide Width review by Lovely boots, but not very wide at all, on 14/09/2022 10:12:03

    Build quality is excellent, but for a wide fitting boot, they are not that wide and also have quite a pointed, tapering toe, which meant that even going up 2 whole sizes from my usual size 10 were still not wide enough. Obviously the size 12 that was recommended are like clown shoes, but still too narrow. These boots are also quite hard under foot, so not that comfortable in that respect either. You can of course add different insoles, but out of the box, they arent that comfortable, for me at least.. - Response from Taunton Leisure: Sorry to hear this! We will be in contact to see whether there is anything we can do to assist you in sourcing a better fitting boot

    I agree with others that these are comfortable, well-made boots. However they are dangerous when walking on wet rocks. I have just returned from a walking holiday in the Lakes and stopped using these boots after slipping a number of times. I felt much safer in my Keen boots.

    So disappointed. The lining in one boot has wrinkled so that it presses against my big toe making them too painful to wear. I had walked thousands of miles in my previous altbergs with no problems. I am hoping the warranty covers this fault. Taunton Leisure Comment: Hi there, we are so sorry to hear of this. One of our Customer Service members will be in contact shortly to help get this resolved for you.

    Very comfortable well made boots. I actually went to the Altberg factory for a fitting as I have a foot condition and as a result established that I needed an extra wide size. As the factory did not have stock I purchased from Taunton Leisure who had my size in stock. I am very pleased with my purchase.

    Good discount good delivery. Bought same boots 4 years ago given them hell particularly water exposure, sole now getting worn ( vibram but probably 1000 miles of use) main reson is leather cracking due to water exposure now makes them leak. Will try using their oil/wax renovator when it looks like cracking may occur Really comfortable boots from the outset

    Excellent advice from the technical team at Taunton Leisure led me to these boots. I have wide feet and find it difficult to find boots that fit. I went for 11.5 v normal shoe size of 11 which worked well for me.

    First class finish and fit. Entirely waterproof. Best boots I have bought. And made in Yorkshire. Brilliant.

    Excellent for comfort and appear well built. The wide fitting is good for me. So far they have remained waterproof but I live and walk in rural Wales right by the coast. To be honest I would not wear these anywhere near the coastal path as they have Vibram soles which are very slippery on wet surfaces, particularly wet rock and tree roots. If I had known Vibram was so bad I would not have purchased these. Not recommended Im afraid. To be honest I am quite disappointed as I now wear an old pair of work boots to walk through the woods to the local shops.

    Really well made BRITISH made boots. The five width fittings make it a perfect choice if you have difficult feet like mine. Taunton Leisure was the best value supplier I could find too.

    Fantastic to find British made quality boots! Ive used them in tough conditions for several days in the bogs and hills of Dartmoor and theyve been comfortable and dry. Love them :)

    The boots arrived as expected. They are very comfortable and well made. Being good quality leather, they will need breaking in. Looking forward to many years of good service. Very good advice from Taunton Leisure also.
