BerghausMen's Hillwalker Ii Gore-tex Waterproof Hiking Boots | Durable | Comfortable Shoes

Been wearing this every day for a country walk and they are great. Dry, comfy, easy to put on and take off. Light enough. Leather seems to be holding up, but it's too early to say for certain.

Worn boots for work for nearly 40 years in the forces and Police. I purchased these for Police work both driving and foot patrol on tarmac and over the South Downs National Park. Best pair of boots I've had as a hybrid suits all applications. Comfy to wear out the box, waterproof in wet grass and heavy rain although I've not hiked all day in the rain in them. They even buff up well with wax polish to look smart. Purchased during black Friday sales for 50% off.

-WaterproofingFor those who are concerned about these boots being waterproof, Although Gortex technology will repel water coming into the boot, I highly recommend a third-party wax to be applied over the top. I waxed them with 3 layers, leaving around an hour in between coats for it to set. the colour of the suede will darken and they have more of a glossy finish, which I prefer. I put the boots through their paces after this and my feet were bone dry up to ankle level.- Size AccuracyI am a UK size 9. My feet are narrow and I found that 9.5 was a good size for me. They fit well and had some extra space for thick socks if needed. So for me, going a half a size larger worked out great.- Comfort and practicalityThe sole of the shoe is slightly curved, making for good walking and hiking through difficult terrain.The boots felt secure once tied properly and I didn't need to adjust them during my hike. They are very lightweight and so I felt like I could manoeuvre faster with less effort compared to other waterproof boots.- Durability/value for moneyI will return to this review later to comment on the durability over the course of the winter period. Overall I am happy with the boots.

Wow, i bought a pair of Salewa boots 2 weeks ago that have given me major problems on my right ankle ( pinching a nerve) For the last 3 years i have been wearing Italian ( leather) made walking boots and they were excellent until the leather cracked. So i took a punt on Berghaus since i already have a Cornice waterproof jacket from the same company that i have been using for about a year now. Anyway, the boots arrived this evening, and the comfort was immediate, the feeling on my feet and overall quality. However, as i am off to walk in Brecon Wales i have yet to do any real walking yet, but i have high hopes with these. Salewa boots = rubbish. Berghaus = quality.

Good boots so good on my feet thanks

Thankfully I read reviews beforehand and ordered half a size up, perfect fit, feel comfortable, look decent, are very light, and look like they'll do the job.I've yet to wear them for their intended purpose, I'm currently wearing them around the house to soften them up a little further but I dare say these are good to go from out of the box.Came before the delivery date also, no qualms with the seller / store.

Brilliant comfortable boots go half a size up I've covered easily 200 plus km on them and there still waterproof!😊😊

Bought these about 18 months ago for a friend. He’s not really a walker or mountain lover, but has used them a lot on the local (Eildon) hills to keep fit - must have walked at least 600km in them. He has also been up Helvellyn twice, Catbells once and the Cheviot in them. In the last 12 days he has walked every day, achieving 10,000m plus of vertical gain, and countless km! The photo shows the boots after yesterday’s 1000m and unknown km. The tread is wearing a bit, but not bad. He has never had a blister with these, despite wearing everyday socks! It’s true are not fully waterproof, but he doesn’t know what to use to treat them so it might be his fault. He uses kiwi shoe polish occasionally to make them look as new, but I don’t think that’s the right stuff. Overall, good, reliable boots and very comfortable.
