I have walked for over six hours in the pouring rains of the Lake District: Wast Water; and for over four hours in the snows of the Pyrenees: Ibon de Gorgutes and Puerto de Glera; yet my toes remained warm and dry throughout The final test was to be done in England’s Lake District. Once again, this was post Storm Darwen and showed us how powerful the winds were with beautiful centuries-old trees snapped and toppled all around us. We found walking over and under the fallen, broken trees sad and demotivating. We urgently needed to find something to reinvigorate our spirits. After a few more minutes, we came across a beautiful waterfall coming down a high steep hill. I asked my wife if she would like to get to the top and discover its origin, and she said yes.

Surprisingly, my feet remained warm throughout the day. There was no discomfort even when the Expeditor Ridge 2.0 boots were subjected to hours of walking through snow that came halfway up my shin. Although my special forces trousers were sodden, no water penetrated my boots. I even took the opportunity to stand in a freshwater mountain stream with water around 5″ deep, and again they remained utterly waterproof. Almost a year has passed since this review and sadly the quality of the Berghaus boot has come to light. The glue has given way between the upper fabric of the right toe box where it meets the sole on the inside of the shoe. In addition, the stitching on the outside of right boot has failed; to the extent that water easily enters the boot. This leaves me with a wet foot, on the gentlest of walks without puddles.

While others in the Berghaus range received quite a few negative comments surrounding the waterproof design, this model did not get as many.

After reaching the summit, I was faced with the descent part I was dreading. By now, my feet had expanded; however, I did not notice any pressure on my toes. I was pretty sure most of the pain would come on the way down, but I was in for a pleasant surprise. At no point on the way down did I feel uncomfortable; the design of the boots kept my feet firmly in place, and although I was quite sure my toes were spreading, the space in the toe area was more than enough to compensate for this.
