Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Fellmaster Active is a versatile, low-cut multi-active shoe designed for adult hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require a balance of waterproof protection and breathability. Featuring a durable leather and synthetic mesh construction with a GORE-TEX membrane, these shoes are engineered to keep feet dry and comfortable during varied trail conditions. While they offer excellent traction through the proprietary Vibram outsole, users should note that the low-cut design may provide less ankle support compared to traditional high-cut hiking boots.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
They are well-suited for mild winter conditions, but they do not feature heavy insulation for deep snow or sub-zero temperatures.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the leather and allow it to dry slowly at room temperature.
Can I use these for daily wear in the city?
Yes, their low-profile, black and brown design makes them very versatile for daily urban use where waterproofing is a benefit.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics if required.
How does the sizing run?
The Fellmaster Active generally adheres to standard UK adult sizing, but it is recommended to leave slight room for the thickness of hiking socks.
Troubleshooting
Reduced waterproof performance
Clean the exterior thoroughly to remove surface dirt and apply a GORE-TEX compatible leather re-waterproofing treatment.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Due to the low-cut design, use gaiters if trekking in loose scree or thick brush to prevent material from entering the collar.
Slippage or poor fit
Experiment with different lacing techniques, such as the 'heel lock' method, to secure the foot more firmly within the shoe.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent waterproof protection provided by the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Superior grip and traction on varied terrain thanks to Vibram OPTI-STUD lugs.
- Breathable design prevents overheating during sustained activity.
- Durable leather construction adds longevity to the upper material.
- Lightweight feel compared to traditional hiking boots.
Cons
- Low-cut design lacks the ankle support required for heavy backpacking.
- Leather surfaces require regular maintenance to retain performance.
- Not suitable for extremely deep mud or water crossings due to low-cut profile.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first trek, ensure the fit is snug but comfortable, allowing for appropriate hiking socks. To maintain the life of your shoes, keep them clean by removing dirt and mud with a soft brush after every trip. If the shoes become soaked, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires, which can crack the leather. If the outer material loses its ability to shed water, consider applying a leather-safe waterproof treatment. Check the laces for wear occasionally and ensure the internal insoles are free of debris to prevent discomfort.
