I have been wearing Altberg motorcycle boots exclusively for about 26 years. They have two models, the only observable difference being the height, one Bahnrider being taller. But be warned the zippers are NOT YKK and can cease to function while the rest of the boot has a LOT of life in it. These are not the lace up Altberg boot previously discussed. In the past, I had one pair that originally arrived so small in the arch, I was not able to get into them. I sent them back with my custom foot measurements, courtesy of my western boot maker and they stretched them to where I could wear them and charged me the import duty UK charged to get them back to the factory. That stretched pair did not last very long before the stitching failed. I like them so much, I keep a new pair of low and high boots in their boxes in case the factory ever told me to "take by business elsewhere." Meanwhile, at age 80, I am reluctant to buy a new leather jacket, my old one is about 30 years old or a pair of Daytona boots both of which would probably outlast me.
