Berghaus Men's Explorer Ridge Boots Reviews

bought these boots to replace a pair of zambalan boots i've had for 15 years,read all the reviews,throught the seem like the boot for me,and they are,comfy from the moment i put them on,feels like i have worn them in already,light & breathable brilliant,and even better got them on the price challenge,bargin

Truly awesome footwear from Berghaus once again, these boots are very much sufficient for the three out of the four seasons, the first boots in my life i might add i have been able to slip on and walk vast distances without prior agonising breaking in required. Take some time out to do some competitive shopping and you can grab these for a fantastic price. If like myself you appreciate good investments and require complete peace of mind, then don't think, “BUY” as you've got nothing to lose in regard to quality and value with Berghaus…their items don’t last months but YEARS remember that!!

Great boots straight from the box. First walk 13 mile Sidmouth Saunter and only had a small blister on the bal of one foot. Second walk 8 Miles South West Costal Path, felt so comfortable I brought my wife a pair and she loves them too.

Although I've spent my working life wearing boots I was a still not looking forward to putting on a new pair when I took up hill walking recently. However I needn't have worried as these feel like carpet slippers in comparison to my usual protective boots.
No blisters whatsoever. Comfortable walking down steep slopes as well as up, giving an assured confidence on wet ground and rocks. Can't praise them enough. Yes there are cheaper alternatives but these are worth every one of my hard earned pounds.

i dont do that much "off road" waking, i got them more of an everyday boot that would be guarenteed to keep me dry. i picked them because of the berghaus & gortex brands, as well as looking quite smart. the best footware i have ever owned. the souls absorb shock very well, they are very cumfy out of the box, imagine wearing a big pair of slippers, and the breathable gortex inner stops your feet sweating and the boots smelling. iv not had much chance to test the boots in really wet weather, but considering their pedegree im sure they will perform well. my advice is to search the net for them first. i found them cheaper at another store, but go outdoors matched and then reduced them by another 10%

simply the best pair of boots you could ever own. i have done a large number of mountains in the snowdonia region including tryfan where i first tested the boots !!
never a blister and even after having them on for 12 hours of trekking, they still are as comfy as when i left off !! will never look back to any other pair of boots and i will stay faithfull to this type of boot "full grain leather" I reccomend these boots to everyone AMAZING THINGS

Bought these back in January for a bargain price and have used them every day since over the local countryside & woodland terrain walking the dog, knocking up over 2000km in them .
Since day one they have been dry, blister free, and very comfy. No issues with rubbing but I have worn out a few pair of socks in them.
Sole is now starting to wear down fast, but the have outlasted the last pair of boots by a good 1000km (over the same ground) .
All I used was a bit of beeswax now and again to keep the leather supple and washed them down with a hse when muddy.
Definately recommend them , just waiting for the price to come down again on the next special and I'll be getting me next pair!

Bought these 13 months ago using price match and they have never failed to deliver. Never a wet foot, never a sore foot, no blisters, always comfortable. I use them almost every day, mainly for dog walking (Siberian Husky), in a variety of terrains including mud and snow, along river banks and up in the Cheviot hills & Simonsides. I Nikwax them once a week and apart from a few creases in the leather, are still good as new, after what must be approaching 1000 miles of use. Defo recommend.

I LIKE VERY MUCH BOUGHT THEM 2 WEEKS AGO AND THEY R GREAT

bought these last august,straight from the box on my feet and upto scafell pike,very comfortable no rubbing no marks or blisters,i have since clocked up hundreds of miles over all sorts of terrain and all types of weather including cheviot bogs no leaking anywhere.suitable for all types of walking and scrambling.will definately buy another pair when these are worn out

These originally caught my eye online so visited the Swindon store to try them on. I was looking for something not too cheap but not too expensive. Tried them on and they felt good. Also tried on a few others including Meindl (Just like a top of the range Duvet cuddling your feet, but at £165 I could not justify it to the Mrs)

Purchased the Berghaus for under £80 using their price match on Friday evening.

Saturday morning straight into a 10 mile hike through Savernake Forest with Cubs and Scouts on the JOTT.. What can I say except brilliant. They fitted from the first moment, no rubbing, no aching - and these are boots straight out the box.

When walking on hard ground I can hear the thud as my foot hit the ground but could not feel the shock hitting my foot.

Being leather and material they offer a great mix of waterproof and breatheability.

It really is worth spending a few extra pound notes. You can buy a similar looking boot from another make for half the price or less but will they be kind to your feet?

Next challenge is a 20 mile hike in June followed by a 26 mile hike in September and I have every faith in the boots.

bought theese after trying several pairs of boots and they have been comfy from the first time on. So far have done some local and north yorks moors walking and also Helvellyn via striding edge and the boots have performed very well. No blisters although longest walk only 10mile and my feet have stayed dry in some very wet and boggy conditions.

First outing with new boots was a 10 mile walk covering varied terrains. Beach, road, and wet muddy Woodland hill climb. Feet were snug, warm and dry. Also easy to clean afterwards.  I am looking forward to more walks soon. I bought these on the strength of the reviews, and strongly recommend these boots. Well deserved 5 stars.

Purchased these boots instore. Extremely comfortable fit. Due to time constraints I was unable to break them in properly. Took them up and over four peaks in the Brecon Beacons today and they coped very well. No problems encountered through mud and water, kept my feet dry. No rubbing or blisters either. Well worth the money paid.

i brought these boots about 3 weeks ago,from the wolves shop.went only on one short walk before last week-end,then went for a long week-end walking in south wales.i walked between 6 and 15 miles each day.the boots were comfortable and nice and light.althought it did not rain the grass was wet and it was very muddy,but my feet stayed dry.i would buy these again,great boots,and if they last ,well priced.

had these a couple of months now - very comfortable and dry, would buy again and gooutdoors matched a cheaper price i found on the web. Excellent service - thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! Recent price reduction makes them great value!!!

Walked 8 miles in 2 hrs in these boots, so gave them a good test, (fields, tow path and some roads). Had no problems with any blisters or rubbings. Very comfortable and quite light weight. Decent enough tread, which offers a little more forgiveness, that some other soles, on the road surface. Have recently tried them, going through wet grass, which soon finds any weakness, but pleased to say, that they passed the test and kept my feet dry. Have treated the leather with a nourishing/waterproofing cream and the fabric parts with Nikwax.
Would recommend these boots, well worth the £100.

bought these boots to do the three peaks challenge. although comfortable from the box they took about a week to break in properly. combinded with decent socks these boots are brilliant i climbed ben nevis, scafell pike and snowdon in 24 hours and felt comftable throughout and had no blisters feet were allowed to breath easily and could'nt of been put through a much stiffer test. walked through fords and streams accross rocks and scree with no problems. i tried on lots of boots before buying these (including top end ones) and am really pleased with them, can't recommend highly enough

Bought these before Xmas and very impressed.
Were like a second skin throughout the harsh winter and feet were dry and blister free.
Completed a 26 mile charity walk in them and feet were fine.
Have done a little hillwalking over last couple of months and they are well up to the task - Can highly recommend them.

I bought a pair of these to walk Hadrian's Wall last year and replace my previous boots which were worn out. What can I say, they're brilliant. Very comfortable, cool, they don't leak and no blisters. I absolutely love them to bits. At the time I was disappointed I couldn't afford a pair of Meindl Burma's but i'm glad I went for these now. My only criticism and it's very slight is the lack of Vibram soles. These use Berghaus's own which are good but not quite as grippy. As I say a very minor point - they're great in every other way.
