Aigle Altavio High GTX Boots | Sepia

Aigle has been making exceptional outdoor footwear for over 170 years, and the Altavio High GTX represents the brand at its best. We recommend it for handlers who spend serious time in the field — the Gore-Tex membrane keeps feet genuinely dry rather than just water-resistant, the Vibram outsole provides the kind of grip that inspires confidence on wet hillsides and muddy tracks, and the enhanced cushioning means you can wear these all day without paying for it the next morning. At £159.60, it's an investment — but one that will last for seasons of hard use.

• Gore-Tex® membrane — fully waterproof and breathable, keeping feet dry in all conditions
• Vibram rubber outsole — industry-leading grip on wet, muddy, and rocky terrain
• Split leather upper — durable, field-proven construction that handles hard use
• Stone guards — protection against rough ground, debris, and undergrowth
• Enhanced cushioning — reduces fatigue on long days in the field or on the hill
• High cut design — ankle support and protection in challenging terrain
• Aigle heritage — over 170 years of outdoor footwear expertise

• Gundog handlers spending long days in the field, on the moor, or in woodland
• Shooting day participants who need waterproof, grippy boots for all-day wear
• Handlers working in challenging terrain — wet hillsides, muddy tracks, rough ground
• Hikers and farm workers who need serious all-weather footwear
• Anyone upgrading from a lesser boot to a genuine field-grade Gore-Tex option

• 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 treatment when water no longer beads on the surface
• Store upright in a cool, dry place — use boot trees to maintain shape
• Do not machine wash

Your footwear directly affects your ability to train effectively. A handler who's uncomfortable, slipping, or distracted by wet feet is a handler who's not fully focused on their dog. Invest in boots that let you move confidently across any terrain — your dog will notice the difference in your body language and your ability to position yourself correctly during training exercises.
