HILLWALKING HERITAGE
Whatever mountain activity you’ve got planned this summer, there’s a Berghaus boot to suit, each honed by many decades of expertise and craftsmanship.
■ HILLMASTER II GTX £175
When the Hillmaster GTX made its debut in 1994 it quickly became Britain’s best-selling leather walking boot. And the latest award-winning version is loaded with innovations that keep it one step ahead of the competition. Memory foam in the collar and tongue give you a tailored fit and maximum comfort, with tough but supple leather, a breathable Gore-Tex lining, supportive footbeds, an anti-clogging outsole and a shock-absorbing midsole.
■ EXPLORER TREK GTX £150
Out of the box comfort is outstanding, and the classic Explorer fit and cushioned OrthoLite Hike footbed means you’ll stay comfy. The tough and flexible sole ticks all the boxes for grip, with a new anti-mudclogging system powered by Opti-Stud and waterproof Gore-Tex lining.
■ EXPLORER FT ACTIVE £125
Built to last and very versatile, these waterproof Gore-Tex shoes are packed with designs that outfox the elements. Super-cushioned OrthoLite Multisport footbeds keep your feet comfortable, while the robust uppers are flexible with targeted support. Essential grip is maximised by the Opti-Stud sole, powered by Vibram for extra durability.
■ BERGHAUS VC22 MID GTX £160
This all-new mid-ankle boot (pictured expertly hopping across rocks to the left) provides extra support and security with a knit collar for added comfort, plus all of the technology and performance features of the low-ankle VC22 GTX alternative.
