Description
One of Altberg’s more recent boots and based upon their Sneeker Microlite, this Tabbing Tactical Elite boot is available in both black of MoD Brown; however we do favour the brown version as it’s designed to compliment the modern Multi Terrain Pattern (MTP) camouflage clothing
Due to its design of relatively shorter leg length, it aids mobility whilst running/tabbing, and coupled with it’s shock absorbing mid layer and tried and tested Vibram sole, it supports the rear of the foot and provides a “rocker” toe lift which reduces the pressure on the big toe significantly
Ultimately this Tabbing boot is based upon a running shoe last, but given a military boot twist to perform in all conditions. This is Altberg's lightest weight military boot and is upgraded to feature their Cambrelle membrane, which whilst not waterproof aids the drying out process of the leather once wet

Size and Fitting Advice
Here at John Bulls we’d recommend you choosing a 1/2 size above your normal shoe size as this allows for a thicker sock to be used with the boot
PLEASE NOTE: Altberg started introducing their new Defender Hi-Traction Sole onto their boots in June 2022 with an aim to replace all Vibram soles by February 2023. Practically all our boots now have the new Defender sole and sadly we can no longer order them with the older Vibram versions - These Defender soles are a far better sole in our opinion and the valuable feedback we're getting back from our customers
