A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

altberg are my go to https://www.altberg.co.uk/
You can often find them for less on ebay, I think they are current UK military issue.
I personally wear the "sneeker" series.
Glad to see Altberg mentioned. I haven't owned any of these yet, but the fact you can visit their factory and get fitted for a specific size says a lot. Next time I'm up North I'll pay them a visit to get sized.
My current boots are Mammut GTX and I had 10 years of good use from them. Very durable. But I don't think they make them anymore and they're overkill for the walking I do now.
I've heard lots of good things about altberg. Not got direct experience, but if I were buying walking boots, this is where I'd go
