Berghaus Men's Supalite II Gore-Tex Waterproof Hiking Boots, Lightweight, Durable, Comfortable

Product Information

All-day comfort - the streamlined one-piece leather construction with Gore-Tex technology and memory foam detailing keep you in comfort, however long you wear them Despite looking quite beefy, they’re relatively light and there’s enough cushioning in the midsole to make long walks comfortable. The price is at the upper end of the models in the test, but quality was good, and the design is quite snazzy. The heel cup is hardened and kept our feet in position well, with no movement and good support. The toe box is also strengthened with a rubberised section which also forms the front section of the rand with the mid section using the thermoplastic covering. There’s a good amount of underfoot cushioning from the Techlite midsole. The outsole is a Vibram Mont Performance Durability model with a rounded x-shape insert and extra grip areas at the heel and toe. The Oboz boot is available in two versions: standard and wide. Our standard model still had plenty of room in the forefoot, but for anyone with wider feet or a bunion, the wide version may be a better bet. Heel width is similar in both models.

Quality of the Alt-Berg boots was very good, with top quality leather. The boots are no lightweights, and came in near the top of the test scales league. Alt-Berg included with the boots a can of Leder-Bök, with helps increase water resistance and maintain suppleness. If you want to increase water-shedding qualities of the boot, you can use the company’s Leder-Gris, but this will give the Kisdons a more conventional dark, shiny full-grain leather look. WATERPROOF GUARANTEE - Wet conditions are off the forecast inside and out, as the breathable GORE-TEX® lining keeps the weather out while setting sweat free.This boot brings you the features you’ll need to take on all the weather and landscapes the UK can throw at you. After all, if your feet aren’t comfortable or your footwear can’t cope with the conditions, your trip into the great outdoors is going to be that much less enjoyable.

Berghaus have decided to give these boots outsole an upgrade by using a Vibram® outsole for enhanced grip and comfort. This sole remains lightweight yet very sturdy making these an excellent pair of boots for exploring and enjoying the trails in the great outdoors. The forefoot is reasonably broad and the heel cup and lacing set-up held the foot well on uphill sections, with no heel lift.

I'm deeply intrigued as to whether there is a better/good sole for slippery wet limestone/chalk conditions. Can anyone recommend? The comfort and weatherproofing provided are commonly mentioned with users claiming they have been able to walk long distances and through water without any leaks or discomfort. When you are paying such a high price for a pair of walking boots you expect them to last for a long time and to be able to stand up to all conditions; however, the Brasher walking boots have a tendency to wear easily.

It’s lightweight for a leather boot and feels more like an approach shoe with an extended ankle section. The sole is of medium stiffness but gives a good amount of torsional support. Weighing less than a kilo per pair, the Supalite II GTX won't slow you down and won’t compromise on performance, durability or comfort On the plus side, the Terrebonne is light – the lightest in test, so if fast movement over long distances is your thing, and it fits you well, it could be a good choice. The Keen boots are assembled in its Romania factory, from materials sourced internationally. They represent good value for an all-rounder for moderate hillwalking and trips in less technical terrain, though they are among heavier models in the test. Walking and hiking footwear can be expensive so you need to do your homework to ensure you get the right ones for you.

The boot uses Lowa’s Monowrap midsole and this provided good stability with a reasonable amount of underfoot cushioning. We evaluated how well they performed: how stable they kept the foot; how well they gripped in different situations; how well they protected the foot. Also they look pretty coooooolll - and the speed lacing is a niche feature - and very practical when you need to get them off/on in a hurry!! Hardwearing and durable, supple suede offers feet great moveability whilst the AQ® waterproof lining keeps them dry all day long. There’s good underfoot cushioning thanks to the dual-density EVA midsole. The heel box is stiffened and gives good protection. Toe protection is via a hard rubber and TPU rand in that area.
