FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
They are ideal for mild to moderate winter walking, but they are not insulated for extreme cold or deep snow conditions.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite footbeds are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Do I need to apply waterproofing spray?
The AQ lining provides internal waterproofing; however, applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior can help prevent the outer material from wetting out.
How do I determine my size?
The Berghaus Expeditor Active AQ aligns with standard UK shoe sizing. We recommend choosing your usual walking shoe size.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and waterproofing properties. Always clean by hand using a soft brush.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the laces are tightened correctly to prevent water entry through the tongue and check that your trousers are overlapping the shoe collar properly.
Feeling discomfort during long walks
Check that your socks are not bunched up and consider using a lacing technique that relieves pressure points on the top of the foot.
Loss of traction over time
Thoroughly clean the OPTI-STUD outsole to remove compacted dirt or mud that may be filling the tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum longevity, break your shoes in on short walks before heading out on long excursions. These shoes fit true to size for UK standard measurements, but wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks is recommended for the best fit. After use, remove dirt and mud with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid drying them near direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the waterproof lining or warp the materials. Always store your shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to maintain the integrity of the anti-microbial footbed.
