FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very young children?
Yes, they are designed for kids. The lace-up fastening offers adjustability, but younger children may need assistance with tying them securely.
How do I clean the shoes?
Wipe with a damp cloth after brushing off loose dirt. Avoid harsh detergents and direct heat when drying. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What does 15,000HH mean?
HH stands for Hydrostatic Head. 15,000mm is a measure of waterproofing, indicating the shoe can withstand a significant amount of water pressure before leaking, making it highly effective for keeping feet dry in wet conditions.
Are the materials used vegan-friendly?
Yes, the Berghaus Atom Waterproof Walking Shoes are made with vegan-friendly materials.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
Each shoe weighs approximately 220g, making them lightweight for comfortable wear during active pursuits.
How durable are the heat-welded trims?
The heat-welded trims are designed to enhance the shoe's durability, providing robust protection against wear and tear in challenging outdoor environments.
Can these shoes be used for serious hiking or trekking?
They are excellent for general walking and hiking on trails and uneven ground. For extreme mountaineering or very technical terrain, specialized boots might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite being waterproof shoes.
Ensure the laces are tied correctly to prevent water from entering the top. Check if the DWR finish needs reapplication. Very prolonged submersion or damage to the waterproof membrane could also be a cause.
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Check that laces are tied appropriately (not too tight, not too loose). Try wearing them with suitable walking socks. The moulded EVA footbed should provide comfort, but break-in time may be minimal.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces.
The TPR outsole with 4mm lugs is designed for varied terrain. Ensure the lugs are clear of mud or debris. For extremely slick surfaces, extra caution may be needed, as with any footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes feature a standard lace-up fastening. Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly to allow for comfort and circulation. The shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: Designed as children's hiking and walking shoes, they are suitable for general outdoor activities, school trips, and everyday wear in varied weather conditions.
Care: To maintain the waterproof properties and extend the life of the shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt. If the shoes are very muddy, wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may wish to reapply a DWR treatment suitable for footwear to maintain water repellency, especially after thorough cleaning.
