Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Vc22 Walking Boots are designed for adult women seeking reliable support and comfort on hiking trails. Their key benefit is the combination of GORE-TEX waterproofing with a durable Vibram sole for excellent grip and all-weather performance. A potential caveat is that the mid-ankle height, while providing support, might be less flexible for those preferring a lower-cut shoe.

FAQs
Are these boots suitable for winter hiking?
The GORE-TEX liner provides waterproofing and breathability, making them good for wet conditions. For very cold, snowy conditions, consider adding thermal socks and ensuring the boots are adequately insulated for your specific needs.
How do I break in new walking boots?
Wear them for short periods around the house or on short, easy walks. Gradually increase the duration and difficulty of your walks to allow the boots to mould to your feet and identify any potential pressure points.
Can I machine wash these boots?
No, do not machine wash or tumble dry. Cleaning should be done by hand with a brush and lukewarm water, followed by air drying.
What is the expected lifespan of these boots?
With proper care and regular use on appropriate terrain, walking boots can last several years. The lifespan depends on usage frequency, terrain type, and maintenance.
Do these boots come in other colours?
This specific model is available in Grey/Black. Other variations of the Vc22 range may be available in different colours like Purple.
How should I store the boots when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent material degradation.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or rub.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Loosen the lacing and re-tie, paying attention to pressure points. Consider a short break-in period on easier walks.
Water is seeping into the boots.
Check for damage to the GORE-TEX liner or upper material. Ensure laces are tied properly and not letting water in over the collar. Reapply waterproofing treatment to the outer material if necessary.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces.
Ensure the Vibram sole is clean of mud and debris. The grip is designed for a variety of terrains; if persistent issues occur, assess the surface conditions and consider if they exceed the boot's intended use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These boots are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure they fit correctly before embarking on any significant walks. Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug and secure fit, ensuring your heel is locked in place without excessive tightness.
Compatibility:
Ideal for walking, hiking, and general outdoor use on varied terrain. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically treat the upper materials with a suitable waterproof treatment designed for footwear, following the product's instructions. This helps maintain the water-repellent properties of the boot.
