Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Terravolt GORE-TEX Shoes are designed for adult men who require a reliable, lightweight solution for outdoor exploration across mixed terrains. These low-cut hiking shoes offer the significant benefit of a waterproof, breathable membrane paired with superior traction, making them ideal for unpredictable weather. However, users should note that as a low-shoe design, they offer less ankle support than traditional high-top hiking boots, making them better suited for well-maintained trails rather than extreme, uneven backcountry treks.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy mountaineering?
No, these are designed as low-cut hiking shoes. While they are stable, they lack the ankle support required for technical mountaineering or high-altitude climbing.
How do I maintain the waterproof coating?
Keep the upper clean and free from dirt and oil. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, you may use a technical textile reproofing spray specifically designed for GORE-TEX footwear.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
Yes, the provided OrthoLite footbed is removable, allowing you to replace it with custom orthotics if required.
Are the shoes true to size?
They generally follow standard UK sizing, but it is recommended to try them on with the specific socks you intend to hike in to ensure proper fit.
Are they machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the waterproof membrane. Clean by hand with a damp cloth or soft brush.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be getting inside the shoe
Check if water is entering over the collar of the shoe or if the outer fabric is saturated, preventing the membrane from breathing; ensure you are wearing waterproof trousers over the collar.
Loss of traction on wet surfaces
Inspect the OPTI STUD lugs for trapped mud or debris; clean the outsole with a stiff brush to restore the grip profile.
Reduced comfort after long use
Remove the OrthoLite insoles and wash them by hand with mild soap and water, then let them air dry completely before reinserting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Terravolt shoes, always wear them with appropriate moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to maximize the effectiveness of the GORE-TEX membrane. Avoid storing the shoes in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can degrade the bonding agents and materials. After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean with lukewarm water. Periodically check the laces and ensure the insoles are pulled out to dry completely if the interior becomes saturated, which will help maintain the hygiene and structural integrity of the OrthoLite footbeds.
