FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?

Yes, the GORE-TEX lining and Vibram outsole provide good protection for damp and cold conditions, though they are not insulated for extreme sub-zero temperatures.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the OrthoLite footbed is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.

How do I know if the fit is correct?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the toe and that your heel does not lift significantly when walking.

Are these shoes vegan-friendly?

No, these shoes are constructed using leather, which is a natural animal product.

What is the primary difference between these and standard trainers?

Unlike standard trainers, these include a protective TPU shank for stability, a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, and a high-traction technical outsole designed for hiking.

Troubleshooting

Water entering the shoe despite the GORE-TEX membrane

Check the exterior leather for deep scratches or damaged waterproofing treatments; re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if necessary.

Slippage on very smooth wet rocks

Ensure the outsole lugs are free of impacted gravel or debris and check if the tread has worn down significantly.

Discomfort during the first few wears

The leather upper requires time to soften; try wearing thicker, moisture-wicking hiking socks to prevent friction hotspots.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof performance in wet conditions
  • Reliable grip on diverse terrains
  • High level of comfort for long-duration wear
  • Resistant to mud build-up due to outsole design

Cons

  • Leather construction may feel stiff initially
  • Limited to specific size availability
  • Not intended for extreme high-altitude mountaineering

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Fellmaster Active shoes, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short walks on flat surfaces before embarking on strenuous, long-distance hikes to allow the leather and internal structure to adapt to your foot.
  2. Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristle brush. If muddy, wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash.
  3. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can crack the leather.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree or stuffed newspaper can help maintain the shape when not in use.
