Altberg Leder-Glos BROWN High Shine Gloss Leather Polish For Boots, 40g Tin from Army Sales

Product Information

Our expert started by brush polishing each shoe before bulling the toecap using Selvyt Premium polishing clothand tap water. The Heel: Developed from a 1940's last by Avalon (Somerset 1966), the uniquely shaped heel was modified and remodelled to suit men's and ladies boot styles The Alt-berg Boot makers have always tried to combine their traditions and knowledge of classic boot making, with the ever changing needs of today's customer. Nowhere has this been more evident that in the development of the new A-Forme Last (foot shape). During the period 2006-2011, Alt-Berg trialled many variations of lasts - some were based on old lasts from the 1930's-1950's, other features were completely new. Whether you're brush polishing or bulling this has to be one of the longest running debates within the cadet forces. We thought it was about time someone finally lay the issue to rest by putting 5 of the most popular polishes to a proper test. What we did...

Toe Roll or Toe Spring: Inspired by the original classic shepherds last - used in the moorlands of the Northern Dales for much of the late 19th and 20th century. The extreme toe roll was modified to suit a more modern rough terrain boot Gives an acceptable shine. The big advantage is the MOD Brown colour is spot on for Alt-Berg and other issue boots.The polish was removed from the original tin and placed in a plain white dish making it impossible to tell which brand was which. Wider, shallower, forefoot: Too much room above flex area of a standard boot - too much pressure at the sides of the forefoot x Alt*BergLeder Gris, MOD Brown Nourishes, Protects & Feeds Leather. contains 70% wax, 30% oils (large tin) approx.80g.
