Rob Sherwin, Scotland
Based on the tried and tested Altberg Tethera, the Nordkapp is a classic 3 season hill walking boot, suitable for Lakeland Fells and the Scottish hills.
The upper is a seamless one piece construction, made from first grade Italian Nubuck, backed up by a Sympatex® waterproof lining.
Added protection to the upper comes from a full rubber rand with increased height around the toe. The underfoot support comes from a polypropylene midsole with a level 3 flex and gives excellent torsional support and stability underfoot.
The main difference between the Tethera and Nordkapp is the fitting (last). The Nordkapp is made on the A-Forme® foot shape, which has an asymmetric forefoot, increased toe spring and a narrower heel.

We know our customers like to know exactly what they're buying; we're not going to sugar coat it, but we are going to explain it. We've divided up all of the sustainable features we've identified across our product ranges and grouped them into three so you know how your purchase is making an impact: Think Nature, Think Welfare, Think People.
The Altberg Men's Nordkapp - Brown has the following sustainability attributes...
Products using natural fibres can range from cotton to wool to hemp and silk - but by being naturally made, they will also naturally biodegrade at their end of lifecycle. Even if you have a natural fibre product, it can probably still be recycled or repurposed before being disposed of. However, if it truly has reached the end of its use, natural fibres need air to biodegrade so please don't dispose of them in landfill.
Keeping our items in circulation for longer is key to reducing environmental impact, and resoling your shoes/boots when the soles start wearing out can help you to hang onto them when there's otherwise a lot of life left in them. This pair can be resoled by the supplier - get in contact with the brand directly to organize a resole, or check out our recommended repair specialists.
This brand manufactures over 80% of its products in the country of its headquarters, which has many benefits both for the environment and for workers. Local production means less CO2 emissions, more control over working conditions, and helps to boost the local economy.
