Update from my previous review. The boots uppers have lasted well & still look good after a lot of hillwalking, wish I could say the same about the soles. They have worn out much quicker than my previous pair which is a pity as I found them to be very comfy & i'm afraid to say that I won't be purchasing them again. Come on Berghaus! go back to fitting the older style of soles that last for years.

Like wearing a pair of slippers yet rugged enough to cope with the outdoors. I've been wearing walking boots for outdoorwalking/hiking for the last twenty years and I know all about blisters/aching feet but these boots are the best by a country mile. No blisters, really comfortable, weather proof but if you want soles that last forever then buy a different boot. That's not to say the soles are not long lasting, it's just some people have unrealistic expections and expect them to last forever.

I bought these boots less than a year ago, for general walking, with the occasional hill. As a warden on a nature reserve, the need for good quality, waterproof boots is pretty high. At first, these boots were excellent. Extremely comfortable and waterproof, right out of the box. However, after a few months I noticed that the soles were wearing thin... seriously. There's so little thread left, you wouldn't believe. The soles definitely do not have the wear that you'd have from a Vibram sole. Also, the leather on my boots has now split, where the boots flex, rending them useless. I would have expected more from a name like Berghaus. For the prices you pay, you'd expect your boots to last for more than 10 months.

I have owned 2 pairs of berghaus boots which have lasted very well so was a bit pissed off when I purchased the Explorer Ridge GTX & one of the lace loops came off after wearing them a couple of times. It was obvious that it wasn't riveted correctly at the factory so I had to send them back. I was amazed at the speed of the turn around, sent them back on Tuesday & there was a new pair on my doorstep on the Friday, looked at my bank account on the Saturday & Uttings had credited the £8.91 postage I had to pay in sending the defective boots back. Very impressed & will probably buy from them again. Cheers Uttings!
