Berghaus knows this and has included a foot-saving Ortholite Multisport footbed in the Explorer FT Active GTX, which keeps your arch supported. The brand you trust to deliver a comfortable hike has hit the mark again with walking shoes that will encourage you to get out there and explore! It’s not going to hold up to proper filthy weather, but then that’s what walking boots are for (you can’t waterproof your ankles, unless you use waterproof socks). In 50 years, they’ve used their experience to design, test and develop well thought out kit that’s built to last. HIGHLY BREATHABLE Give your feet a little fresh air with the breathable mesh running through the main upper combined with high grade suede.

The Berghaus Expanse Walking Boots is a nice-looking women’s boot that appears to be well-suited to long walks in changeable weather. This boot brings you the features you’ll need to take on all the weather and landscapes the UK can throw at you.CUSHIONED Be kind to your feet with underfoot cushioning from EVA midsoles and the OrthoLite® footbed. I did find that the toe box was a little snug for my high-volume feet, so the Explorer FT Active GTX would suit those with narrower or less hefty appendages. The shaping and features within the insole, outsole, and through the uppers all work to hold the foot in just the right position and prevent fatigue and injury.

Traction: The outsoles of Berghaus walking boots are usually equipped with robust and grippy patterns that provide excellent traction on various terrains, including wet, muddy, or slippery surfaces. This excellent all round walking boot is lightweight and comfortable, and the new design makes it even kinder on the eye. LONG LASTING COMFORT Enjoy all day comfort and cushioning from the midsole construction and OrthoLite Hike footbed. Effectively absorbing shocks and jolts, anti-clogging soles shed sticky mud, while memory-foam heel and toe features cushion you from impacts and give you the snuggest of fits.

Some boots may also have additional features such as a gusseted tongue to keep out debris, a padded collar and tongue for added comfort, and a reinforced heel and toe for added protection. Wearers say that the shoe is a great fit and many found that they didn’t have to break them in at all. SHEER COMFORT Keep feet feeling revived and comfortable with superb cushioning from the OrthoLite® Hike footbeds. The midsole is structured to perfectly support your foot, while the durable rubber VIBRAM® sole provides stability underfoot. The heel area is well protected but could do with grabbing the heel a bit more – again that’s a personal fit thing.
