This lightweight 2-3 season walking boot is made using Altberg’s revolutionary ergonomic A-Forme® last.
Altberg spent 3 years developing this last – the forefoot is asymmetric, with above average toe roll for ease of gait. The heel is narrow fit, and the instep is contoured to provide increased lateral support to the foot arch.
The boot is extremely lightweight and a full rubber scuff resistant rand protects the lower part of the boot leather.

Purchased a pair of these this afternoon and after a short walk of 1.5 miles there was no rubbing or discomfort. Fantastic service from the staff and can not praise the level of helpfulness enough.
Wendy Hughes –
Wonderful service from the team, My second pair of Malham boots, no breaking in, straight on the hills. They take a lot of time to make sure the customer is happy.
Peter W. (verified owner) –
High quality boot at competitive price. Excellent service.
Alan Hughes-Gooding –
Had the boots for six months now and have had no problems. The time taken by Whalley Warm and Dry to get a perfect fit was worth it. The boots have been all over and even took me to the top of Kilimanjaro just before Covid hit. Very happy customer.
Mark Nightingale –
Bought a pair last year and they’re excellent quality.
The fitting service was first rate, very friendly and helpful at the shop, they really know their stuff.
Highly recommend the boots and the folks at Whalley Warm and Dry
Rod Searle –
Excellent boots; durable, comfortable, very well-made.
Not a “bling” brand and all the better for it.
Shirin Patel –
My new Malham boots were customised for me at no extra cost. They are excellent. This store is exceptional and highly recommended.
David Roberts –
Best boots I’ve ever had used to wear another top brand but the Altberg takes gold. More than twenty years ago now that Whalley warm and dry introduced me to them, I’m very grateful, I spend most of my week wearing them so comfy. Shop staff ever so helpful will be back soon.
David Kirk Brown –
The only walking boots that I have ever found really comfortable. Highly recommend them.
Jan Haydock –
Incredibly comfortable and very waterproof. Excellent fitting service without which I would have bought a size less than I needed based on all other footwear I’ve bought.
Bernard Marsden –
A very comfortable boot with no need to break in. Sole has a nice roll and feels very smooth over rough surfaces.

Excellent service. The boots arrived in just 24 hours from ordering them
Krystal (verified owner) –
Second pair after a fitting at Whalley Warm & Dry a few years back. Was about to do an 8 hour walk on first wear without any rubbing or blisters.
Ian Brandwood –
I’m on my second pair of these. The first pair lasted over 5 years.
They are the most comfortable boots I have ever had. Occasionally can be a bit slippy on wet rock and stone (which boots aren’t?)but apart from that, perfect.
Brilliant service in the shop as ever.

I live too far from WW&D to have the luxury of a personally fitted pair of boots, but the service I received purchasing online couldn’t be better. I took a chance on ordering a pair of Malham boots size 8 and a half, which when I tried them on, were clearly a bit tight. The process for returning them and requesting the next half size up went very smoothly – and quickly. The Altberg boots are a dream, all leather – bar the soles which as Vibram, tick all my boxes. I can reminisce over all my years of walking whilst rubbing in the recommended Leder-Gris. And, what really sealed my purchase was the re-soling service on offer from Altberg…just hope I live long enough to require it! One very happy customer.

After having these fitted by the excellent guys, these Boots feel like slippers. I’ve done walks from 5 miles up to 42 with no issues at all. I highly recommend these Boots to anyone.
Sophie –
I bought these boots 4 years ago & use them at least every other day. They’re fitted perfectly & are still very comfy. I look after them as advised in store & they’re still in great condition – only the laces need replacing.

Absolutely faultless service.
The boots are the most comfortable footwear I own. If I could wear them around the house I would.
They even showed me how to tie them up properly!
I will definitely be going back for my next pair
