Altberg Malham Walking Boot Unisex in Brown

Season:CORE

Brand:Altberg

Code:AB-HK-MALH

Product Description

The Altberg Malham is a lightweight 2–3 season leather walking boot designed for day hikes on paths, trails and lower‑level hills. The soft, supple 1.6–1.8 mm Nida Hydro full‑grain leather requires very little breaking‑in, offering excellent comfort straight out of the box.

Built on the Altberg A‑Forme last, the Malham has a narrow heel and waist for secure rearfoot hold, combined with a slightly wider forefoot for natural toe spread. The toe is sprung upwards (rocker) to help the boot roll smoothly during each step, improving balance and comfort on uneven terrain.

Despite its supportive construction, the Malham remains extremely lightweight at 672 g (size 9). A micro‑layer between the sole and foot provides excellent shock absorption, making it ideal for long days on the trail.

For best performance and longevity, Altberg recommends following their soft‑leather bootcare guidance.

  • Soft, supple Nida Hydro full‑grain leather (minimal break‑in required)

  • A‑Forme last with narrow heel, secure midfoot and wider forefoot

Sizing Information

Size Guide

Altberg AForme Last

The A‑Forme Last is Altberg’s more asymmetric foot shape, designed to follow the natural curve of the foot and reduce pressure on the big toe. Many of its features are inspired by running‑shoe design.

Narrower heel and waist to hold and support the rear of the foot

Increased upwards toe lift (rocker) to improve walking efficiency

Reduced sideways pressure on the large toe, ideal for those prone to joint irritation

Wider forefoot with slightly above‑medium volume, allowing natural toe spread

This last shape works particularly well for walkers whose big toe is the longest, and who prefer a snug heel fit with a more generous forefoot.

Choosing the Right Altberg Last Shape

5‑Width Last – Tapered toebox that narrows towards the centre. Best if your second or third toes are the longest. Examples: Altberg Fremington, Altberg Tethera

G‑Fit Last – Squarer toebox with more room across the forefoot. Ideal for walkers with a wide forefoot and naturally square toe shape. Examples: Altberg Keld, Altberg Kisdon

A‑Forme Last – More asymmetric shape with a snug heel and a wider forefoot. Best if your big toe is the longest and you have slim heels. Examples: Altberg Malham, Altberg Nordkapp

General Altberg Advice

Altberg boots tend to run slightly short. Most customers benefit from going ½ a size up from their normal shoe size, especially when wearing walking socks.

Professional Opinion

Care Guide - Leather Boots

Keep your leather boots clean and well‑waterproofed to maintain performance, extend their lifespan and, most importantly, keep your feet dry.

1. Remove laces and footbeds
Take out the laces and footbeds, and shake out any grit or dirt from inside the boots. Clean the footbeds if needed and leave them to air out.

2. Clean your boots thoroughly
Use Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel or Grangers Footwear & Gear Cleaner, scrubbing with a firm‑bristle brush under running water. Clean both the uppers and soles, removing trapped grit or stones, and pay special attention to the tongue gusset area, which often holds hidden dirt.

3. Apply wax once dry
When the boots are fully dry, apply a suitable wax such as Altberg Leder Gris, Zamberlan Hydrobloc, or Grangers G‑Wax using a soft brush or cloth. This maintains the water‑repellent treatment and keeps the leather soft, nourished and supple.

4. Store boots correctly
Keep boots in a cool, dry, room‑temperature environment. Avoid damp places such as sheds, basements or porches, as moisture can cause hydrolysis, leading to deterioration of the sole unit.
