If you wear orthotic insoles and would like to wear them in your new footwear, please bring them with you to the fitting.
We also ask that you bring a pair of walking socks with you as we are unable to currently offer socks for you to try on.
No but we believe our award-winning specialist fitting service, footwear available in five different widths and half sizes (which gives us over 170 different fitting options) plus our free customisation service can help you to get the fit and comfort of a made-to-measure boot or shoe at a fraction of the cost and time.

Yes, please bring them with you to your fitting to ensure the footwear accommodates the orthotic insole and does not alter the overall fit.
Unfortunately we do not offer a resoling service in store.
All Alt-Berg boots can be sent directly to the Alt-berg factory in Richmond, Yorkshire to be resoled. They will be resoled using the original lasts which enables the boot to retain it’s original shape and characteristics during the resole process. This service costs from £75 and needs to be organised with Alt-berg directly;

Possibly, it depends on the causes of the pain. Customers who suffer from painful feet travel to us on a daily basis and in a large number of cases we are able to help them find footwear and insoles to help reduce discomfort and promote overall wellbeing.
We strongly advise calling us to discuss your needs prior to making an appointment.
In most cases, painful feet can be greatly helped by the use of supportive insoles and ensuring that you wear quality footwear that has been properly fitted. The footwear needs to provide a supportive fit, have the correct width at the forefoot and have a good quality sole unit.
