Full details

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

They are suitable for general winter walking on maintained trails, but they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures or heavy snow.

How should I clean my hiking shoes?

Clean with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Do not machine wash, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and the structural integrity of the shoe.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the OrthoLite footbeds are removable, which makes it easy to replace them or allow them to air dry after a wet hike.

Do I need to apply waterproofing spray?

The AQ lining is built into the shoe. While the factory treatment is sufficient initially, you may apply a spray specifically designed for waterproof membranes once the water-beading effect on the exterior starts to diminish.

Are these shoes true to size?

Berghaus sizing generally follows standard UK measurements. It is recommended to try them on with your hiking socks to ensure the correct fit, as hiking socks are typically thicker than casual socks.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels damp despite the waterproof lining.

Ensure your socks are made of moisture-wicking synthetic or wool material; cotton holds sweat and moisture against the foot, creating the sensation of leakage.

Loss of traction on steep or muddy surfaces.

Check the tread for embedded mud or debris. Use a brush to clear the OPTI-STUD pattern to restore grip performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and highly flexible for extended walking
  • Effective waterproof protection from AQ technology
  • Anti-microbial footbed reduces odor over long durations
  • Reliable traction provided by the OPTI-STUD outsole system

Cons

  • Low-cut ankle profile lacks stability for rocky or high-altitude terrain
  • Not intended for heavy-duty backpacking or technical climbing
  • Red colorway may show dirt more easily than darker shades

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before your first hike, ensure you wear the shoes with the specific thickness of socks you intend to use on the trail to confirm the fit. Since these feature an AQ waterproof membrane, proper maintenance is essential for longevity. Remove the insoles after a particularly wet day to allow the interior to air dry fully. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud from the outsole, and wipe the upper with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning chemicals that could degrade the waterproof lining. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the synthetic materials from drying out or cracking.
