BerghausMen's Expeditor Ridge 2.0 Waterproof Walking Boots | Breathable | Durable | Extra Cushion

As a family we have used northwest territories and johnscliffe boots for years (and recommended them as fantastic no nonsense functional waterproof walking boots) but these were offered at a price contemporary to the above so tried them out and turned out a good test of the above budget brands too!I got them for £47.00, similar to the aboveThe not so good (only my opinion)They have fabric Lacing system - nw and johnscliffe have brass hardwareThey have no leather over the tongue - the budget boots have leather panel on the tongueThe lining feels a little cheap, the budget boots have a nicer lining - and as a result they seem pretty warm, ok for cooler weather but even during this mild winter/spring they have felt too warm, so jury out on breathability at the momentToo much stitching and style over substance design that could lead to water ingress in the future...?The good!The leather is really nice, a treated waxed finish, better than the budget boots, although not as thick... But not much in the weight of either.The laces are flat - in my experience they hold much better.The sole unit seems tough, good feedback and resistance to sharp stones, although the nw and johnscliffe also have fabulous soles.Tread pattern sheds mud reasonably wellWaterproofness seems very good so far, grass, puddles, streams... Although again the nw and johnscliffe are excellent in this respectAlthough narrower than the budget boots they are comfortable and feel more at one with my foot than my usual boots - I have narrow feet though, so you may prefer the nw or johnscifoe this reason alone.They take gwax well!Overall? All mentioned are general walking boots, at £140 I couldn't justify these and would stick to, most likely, the johnscliffe canyon - amazing tough boot. Although, if caught on sale then these seem built well, comfortable and should be a solid trustworthy companion

i have been looking for a new pair of walking boots for several months, so many to choose and so much range of price. These Berghaus boots dropped from £90 to £60. Very good quality and comfortable from day one. I ordered a size 10 (my usual size) and they fit perfectly.Fingers crossed they will last well.

Great all year round hiking boots but they have a really annoying flaw.Good:ComfortableActually Waterproof in very wet conditions. (Wet grass and flowing water)Breathable as well! (Most waterproof boots are not very breathable)Good gripLightweightBad:The shoe has a big dip above the heel which i think is there to make the shoes easier to take on and off; when walking, I constantly flick stones, mud and water into the back my shoe.This feels horrible, especially this time of year. And sometimes stones get wedged between the back of my foot and the shoe which REALLY hurts. It comes sharp!

My husband had these years ago and they had lasted a long time but finally gave up - but he did have them for 10 years... He moved to Regatta (mainly because I bought them for Christmas or birthday presents). With all the walking we do the other boots didn’t last as long so I paid more and went for these.He loves them, very supportive, good quality great grip on the soles and he confirms they are fully waterproof as claimed.So paying a bit more means I won’t be buying new walking boots for him every year.

I must say that these boots are excellent, all-weather walking boots.I usually wear a UK size 8, ordered 8 1/2 but they were returned to Amazon as I found them too small and replaced with a UK 9.They are comfortable when walking but tend to be a bit on the tight side if worn all day. If I purchase another pair in the future they will be 9 1/2 just to relieve that feeling of tightness by the end of a day of wearing.Well made, lovely boots, highly recommended.<<UPDATE>>After wearing these boots for a month or so I noticed my feet getting wet after rain. But once winter 2020 approached and having worn them occasionally for six months or so I noticed they were regularly letting in water. The seams were beginning to split and the sides of the boots beginning to crack. This was the second pair I'd purchased, the previous about a year prior and they suffered from the toe-cap splitting away from the main body of the boot. I put that down to having done quite a lot of walking on rough ground. This second pair had much less to contend with and the same faults appeared.If you expect waterproof boots with this brand and model, you will be disappointed. They are comfortable but not durable. Their lifetime guarantee has not been tested but I do have a mind to claim but what does a lifetime guarantee even mean? What is less debatable is their claim to be waterproof. They are not. The manufacturer should spend some money on stitching and not on glue to hold their boots together. Buy something else.

I don’t usually write reviews, however I found these boots warranted a positive review. I’m a size 9, but bought a 10. The boots are very comfortable, easy to put on, take off and lace-up. They feel good, are a quality product and look good. I’m very pleased with them.

Bought these August '24 for winter season - so have been wearing probably two or three times a week over the winter from about end of October. Boots are comfortable - with minimum 'wearing in' required. Waterproofing was effective for about the first two months and then some dampness in toe area (not sweat!). In the last couple of weeks right foot has been noticeably wetter on rainy days - then I noticed stitching had broken around toe-cap area of the right boot. This has worsened considerably over the last few days (see photo).
