Aigle Altavio Mid GTX Boots | Sepia

The Altavio Mid GTX sits in a sweet spot that many handlers will find ideal — it has all the waterproofing and grip credentials of the High, but the mid-cut profile makes it more versatile for everyday field use, driving between locations, and days where you want serious performance without the full ankle commitment of a high boot. The addition of the Ortholite® foam insole is a genuine upgrade for all-day comfort, and at £152.00 it represents outstanding value for a Gore-Tex Vibram boot from a brand with 170+ years of outdoor heritage.

• Gore-Tex® membrane — fully waterproof and breathable in all conditions

• Remove mud with a soft brush and rinse with cool water after field use
• Allow to dry naturally at room temperature — never use direct heat
• Treat the leather upper periodically with a quality leather conditioner or wax to maintain water repellency
• Re-proof the Gore-Tex membrane with a DWR spray when water no longer beads on the surface
• Remove the Ortholite insole to air after heavy use
• Store upright in a cool, dry place — use boot trees to maintain shape
• Do not machine wash

When choosing between a mid and high boot for field work, consider your typical terrain and session length. Mid boots offer more freedom of movement and are easier to get on and off — useful when you're moving between locations frequently. High boots provide more ankle support and protection in rough or uneven terrain. Many experienced handlers keep both — the Mid for training days, the High for shooting days and challenging ground.
