The Supalite II boots are a middling performer in this regard, they aren't 'Supalite' on paper but bear in mind that energy return, weight distribution and flexibility of the upper and sole unit all have their part to play in the overall feel and effectiveness of your footwear and Berghaus have succeeded in blending a fair few of these elements together.

Waterproof your feet - banish muddy puddles from your worry list and concentrate on the trail ahead The Trango TRK has a definite Alpine look, with its origins in the Trango family of mountaineering boots. The leather used is durable given the right levels of post walk care, and although not as effective as a full rubber rand, the small toe bumper is well placed, protecting the very front of the boot from scuffs.The midsole is structured to perfectly support your foot, while the durable rubber VIBRAM® sole provides stability underfoot.

The Quest Prime GTX provided good comfort on a mixture of routes, though it’s best suited to defined trails in the mountains rather than the gnarliest terrain.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.

Durability: Berghaus is known for producing high-quality outdoor gear, and their walking boots are no exception. They are designed to withstand rugged terrains and provide long-lasting performance, making them a reliable choice for hiking and walking.The forefoot is quite roomy so will fit people with wider feet in this area quite well. The foot was held well in the heel area, and there was no sliding forward of the foot when heading downhill. The midsole is Alt-Berg’s Tri-Flex three-season version. The outsole is Vibram’s Masai, with a Micro midlayer that offers a medium amount of underfoot cushioning. These Salewa boots come with a choice of two footbeds to match the walker’s foot width. One has a raised cradle at the sides of the forefoot while the alternative for wider feet has a flatter rear section and no outer forefoot area. Changing them is simply a matter of taking the insole out and attaching the inner section to the required base using their hook-and-loop areas. Berghaus walking boots are perfect for hiking, trekking or just going on a walk, they are made from durable materials and have great grip so you will be able to enjoy the great outdoors without worrying about slipping or getting wet feet. The issue of durability and the life of these shoes leads many buyers to question whether these boots are value for money. These are high-end boots with a price tag to match and, for some buyers, the fact that they need repairs and replacements means they are overpriced.
