Berghaus Women's Explorer Active AQ Shoes

Having started a new job recently where I have a lot of walking, kneeling and flexing my feet, I needed a great pair of shoes.I had several pairs in my Amazon compare and these ticked all the boxes ... but the price .... For me spending almost £100 on one pair of shoes is unheard of.BUT..... I bit the bullet and purchased them and I'm so happy I did.The first hour of wearing these shoes was a bit painful, but not in the typical new shoe rubbing way.They were painful because for the first time in years I was wearing a pair of shoes that supported my feet in the right way. After a few hours I'm happy to say these shoes are now so comfortable to wear. They support and cushion my feet in all the right places. They feel lightweight and don't rub or slip when walking.A huge bonus is that the laces STAY done up too.These shoes are meant to be waterproof too, which was another 'must have' on my list. So far it's not rained since I've had the shoes so I can't comment on that yet.What I can say is that these shoes are great to wear, they look stylish as well as being functional.The grip on the soles is fantastic as well, no more slips or slides on polished floors. You can really feel the shoe gripping the surface as you walk.These are also great to drive in, not clunky or bulky and they flex beautifully when either driving or kneeling down.Would I recommend these shoes to someone who walks a lot with their job ... YESWould I recommend these shoes to someone who likes a lot of support for their feet .... YESDo I think they are worth the price .... YESI will be buying a second pair very shortly.

These beautifully made boots are a joy to wear. The slim profile suits my feet and I am wearing them with two soft pairs of socks ( I am normally a size 4 1/2 but opted for the 5 to accommodate warmer winter socks). More importantly I have worn them daily ( a good 5miles each day) on water sodden paths and through soaking grass and my feet are DRY! Today I wore them in the rain and my feet were the only dry part of me! I am so pleased that I have purchased a second pair today.

I wanted some walking shoes to replace some worn out Karrimors. Thought I would pay a bit more and try a higher quality name. I didn't want anything with a Vibram sole as I find them too hard and consequently dangerously slippy in certain situations.The expeditors fit straight out of the box, super comfortable and extremely well put together. They are not the current fashion which is a bit loud and brash, but discreet and unobtrusive which suits me. The soles are very well treaded and made of soft enough rubber to actually grip, they are also firm enough to walk over broken ground while are just as happy on tarmac. Overall an excellent walking shoe....highly recommended.

Started with a 6.5 but had to size up ( company did this no problem) to accommodate thick socks comfortably and it turns out inner soles. The footbed of these shoes is quite hard, no padding. Having said that there was no wearing in time, wore them for a 2 mile dog walk out of the box with no discomfort. And there are really waterproof, well tested given the recent weather. Very happy with them. Happily recommend.June 2024 update. These have been really comfortable. I’ve walked miles in them with no problem. Just today walking the dog through wet grass and I felt a bit damp at the toe - evidence on socks when I took the shoes off. Not sure why they have lost the waterproofing…. Shame.

They hiking trainers live up to the makes reputation - waterproof, grip well and are soo comfy - even without wearing them in. True to size aswell with plenty of room for your toes to move. I have had no blisters at all - and they look good

First time with Berghaus footwear and would thoroughly recommend this walking shoe. Shoe feels solid yet lightweight with good traction on soles. Accurate sizing, however like previous reviews I can confirm these shoes are a narrow fit which suits me perfectly. If you have a broader foot and or want to wear thick socks I’d suggest ordering a different style or brand. Competitive price!

I purchased these shoes at the last minute, prior to a visit to the Norwegian Fjords, and I'm so pleased I did. For gentle hikes up to glaciers and walking around towns and villages (often in heavy rain), they were perfect. For intensive hikes, boots would be more suitable, but they were ideal for my requirements. I'm always nervous of buying shoes online without being able to try them on first, but these Expeditor's were a perfect fit. They are very comfortable, I think they look good (predominantly black and grey, with touches of red and blue), and they are most definitely waterproof! Recommended.

Was trying to buy a different make as my feet have been soaked this soggy summer. But, as the others were out of stock - went for these - far cheaper. I just don't get on with boots so very pleased to find waterproof and strong shoes for walking my doggy!
