BerghausMen's Fellmaster Active Gore-Tex Waterproof Walking Shoes

We go out hiking most weekends and holidays, usually walking between 15-20 miles over a variety of terrain. This requires strong shoes with a grippy sole and a waterproof lining in case the weather becomes inclement.Much of my hiking clothing is from Berghaus’ Goretex range so I was keen to try these shoes and see how they compared to my usual Adidas and Meindl walking shoes.My first impression out of the box was that they are very smart leather shoes. They almost look too handsome for hiking. It will be a pity to see them covered in mud and scratched from walking through brambles but this is an inevitable consequence of trekking through rough landscapes.I usually take a size 10 so was pleased to see that these fit exactly as expected. I tested the shoes with my Darn Tough Hiker 1/4 Socks.The shoes are very comfortable from first wear, with a good level of cushioning from the Ortholite footbed, which is particularly effective when walking on hard surfaces such as pavements. For trekking on uneven surfaces, their Vibram sole is one of the best around and provides plenty of grip.Compared to the Meindl approach shoes I bought last summer, these feel far more comfortable. I think this is mainly because the shoes have sufficient width for my feet whilst wearing cushioning hiking socks whereas the Meindl were too narrow in the forefoot area. The Berghaus shoes offer better cushioning than my Addidas Terrex GTX shoes, which makes them better for long distance walks.My Berghaus Goretex jackets have set the standard for breathable, waterproof hiking clothing for several decades. From my first impressions, these shoes look to be an excellent addition to my collection of Berghaus gear.

These are the second pair of Berghaus boots I have brought, with the first pair lasting a good 7 years of lots of walking.I was worried about having to break in a new pair to get that familiar comfort of my old boots but that was a worry not to have.These were comfortable from the first wear of a 4 mile trek over a coastal path. They have great grip and keep my feet completely dry in poor weather yet are breathable for warm weather walks too.I have no doubt I’ll get many years out of them as they are good quality and comfortable

I have had five pairs of these shoes now. They are very comfortable, breathable, waterproof and smart(ish) . Only problem is that the inner heel liner wears out long before the rest of the shoe. That being said, I walk my dog four times a day for a total of 7 - 9 miles in all weathers so can't complain too much. But it's a shame to throw away away otherwise serviceable shoes every five months or so.

Look good, very comfortable and so far durable

These walking shoes from berghaus were value for money, they have a great vibram sole and are a good fit and support round the heel and arch, but best of all they look good 😊👍

These are a great shoe with excellent support and comfort. Of course they are waterproof as well.

Within 1 month of wearing for daily dog walks the inner heel material on both shoes had torn.Amazon wouldn't deal with the issue as it was outside its 30 return window. Thankfully Berghaus replaced the shoes under warranty

Excellent value. My husband says they are very comfortable. Accurate sizing . Lightweight .
