Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Expeditor AQ Low Shoes are designed for active women seeking a lightweight and reliable footwear solution for everyday outdoor exploration. These shoes provide the perfect balance of waterproof protection and comfort, making them ideal for light hiking and casual walking trails. While they excel in versatility and cushioning, users should note that they are specifically engineered as low-cut shoes, meaning they may not provide the ankle support required for strenuous, high-altitude trekking on technical, loose terrain.

FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Berghaus AQ waterproof lining designed to keep feet dry in wet conditions.
Can I use these for long-distance backpacking?
While durable, these are low-cut shoes. They are best suited for light hiking and daily use rather than heavy-duty, multi-day backpacking with a heavy load.
How do I clean the shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove surface debris and a damp cloth for deeper cleaning. Never put them in the washing machine.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the OrthoLite footbeds are removable, allowing you to clean them or replace them with custom orthotics if required.
What kind of terrain are these best for?
They are ideal for established trails, dirt paths, grass, and general outdoor walking.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the shoe is fully laced and that your trouser cuffs are positioned over the collar to prevent water runoff from entering the top of the shoe.
Slipping on very smooth or oily surfaces
While the OPTI-STUD outsole is designed for trails, always exercise caution on wet, smooth surfaces like polished stone or oily pavement.
Inner foot discomfort
Check that the insole is flat and properly positioned. If discomfort persists, consider swapping to a specialized aftermarket insole that better matches your arch support needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Berghaus Expeditor AQ shoes maintain their performance, proper care is essential:
- Breaking In: Wear them around the house or on short walks before heading out on a long trail to allow the footbed to conform to your feet.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each outing. If they become very muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using a washing machine, as this can damage the waterproof lining.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or open fires, as intense heat can cause the glue and materials to warp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area to prevent odor buildup and moisture retention in the lining.
