Full details
The Berghaus Expeditor Ridge 2.0 is a robust, leather-constructed hiking shoe designed for adult hikers who prioritize long-distance comfort and reliable traction on varied terrain.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, they provide good protection and grip for winter hiking on maintained trails, though they are not insulated for extreme cold.
Do I need to treat the leather before my first hike?
The shoes arrive ready to use, but a light application of a leather conditioner or water-repellent spray can help maintain the material's health.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite footbeds are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics or fresh insoles if desired.
Are these true to size?
The Expeditor Ridge 2.0 typically follows standard UK sizing, though it is recommended to wear the type of socks you intend to use for hiking when sizing them.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels damp after a long hike
While the AQ liner is waterproof, perspiration can accumulate; remove the OrthoLite footbed after every hike to allow it to air dry thoroughly.
Stiff fit around the ankles
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tight across the bridge of the foot; try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure until the leather softens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Expeditor Ridge 2.0, follow these care steps:
- Breaking In: Wear them around the house or on short walks before committing to a long-distance hike to allow the leather to mold to your foot.
- Cleaning: After use, remove dirt and mud using a soft-bristled brush. Wipe with a damp cloth if necessary.
- Waterproof Maintenance: Over time, consider using a leather-safe waterproofing spray to maintain the water-repellent properties of the outer material.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place near radiators or open fires, as excessive heat can crack the leather.
