Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Expeditor Active AQ is designed for adult hikers who need the stability of a mountain boot with the lightweight flexibility of a casual shoe, making it an excellent choice for countryside treks and trail walking. These shoes provide all-day comfort and weather protection through a specialized waterproof lining; however, while they excel on varied terrain, they are specifically engineered for hiking rather than technical rock climbing or high-altitude mountaineering.

FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature an AQ waterproof lining designed to keep feet dry in wet outdoor conditions.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
They are ideal for autumn and spring hiking, though they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures or heavy snow.
How should I clean the waterproof lining?
Wipe the interior with a damp cloth if necessary, but avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the lining membrane.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Berghaus shoes are generally true to UK sizing. We recommend wearing the socks you intend to hike in when trying them on for the best fit.
What is the purpose of the OrthoLite footbed?
It provides long-lasting cushioning and includes anti-microbial treatments to reduce odor-causing bacteria.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe
Check the exterior for debris or punctures. Ensure the laces are tightened correctly to prevent water from entering through the tongue area.
Odour buildup after long use
Remove the OrthoLite footbed and wash it separately with mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
Slipping on very smooth surfaces
Ensure the OPTI-STUDs are free from clogged mud or stones, as the traction relies on these studs digging into softer surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Expeditor Active AQ hiking shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear your shoes on short walks around your neighborhood before tackling long-distance trails to allow the upper materials to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove excess dirt with a soft brush once the mud has dried. Use lukewarm water if necessary; avoid submerging them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or open fires, as excessive heat can damage the waterproof AQ lining and glue bonds.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent premature aging of the synthetic components.
