Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for summer hiking?
Yes, the GORE-TEX Extended Comfort membrane is specifically designed to be breathable, making them suitable for active use in varied temperatures.
Can I use these for winter walking?
They provide excellent waterproofing and stability, but ensure you pair them with thick, moisture-wicking wool socks for warmth in cold temperatures.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the toe and wear the socks you plan to use for hiking when trying them on.
Do I need to treat the leather?
While the GORE-TEX membrane is the primary water barrier, periodically using a recommended leather conditioner can help prevent the outer material from cracking.
What kind of terrain are these best for?
They are ideal for hill walking, country paths, and mountainous terrain where stability and durability are required.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
Leather requires a break-in period; wear them for shorter durations with proper hiking socks until the material softens.
Water entering the shoe despite waterproof claim
Ensure that water is not entering through the top of the ankle collar and check that laces are properly tightened.
Loss of traction
Check the sole for embedded mud or debris that may be clogging the tread pattern and clean with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Fellmaster Active GTX shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear your shoes on short local walks before embarking on multi-day expeditions to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess mud with a soft brush. Clean the leather surface with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Never place them directly on radiators or use high-heat sources, as this can degrade the leather and damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the integrity of the materials.
