Berghaus Speedo Latex Sock Chaussettes

First let me say that these are truly awesome hiking boots. They are light and comfortable but also importantly durable. With a Goretex leather upper and a Vibram sole, what's not to like.To make sure they are right for you, wear them around the house and you should barely know you are wearing them.Also, there is a lifetime free repair service.However, treat the size guide as exactly that. We ordered 3x pairs for myself, wife and daughter.I had to exchange my size 10, which may have been ok, for a 10.5, which are perfect.We had to exchange my daughter's 6, which may have been ok for a 6.5, which is perfect.We had to exchange my wife's 6 for first a 6.5 and that was still too small and jumped straight to a 7.5, which was perfect.It really depends on how wide your foot is.Initially we measured our feet on a piece of A4 and then went up a half size to get the original order, which was still too small.Hence my tip is to measure (with socks on) and then add a full whole size (not half size) and for an extra wide foot add a further half size.We had to buy 6 pairs to get three that fitted us all properly.However, having said this, the Amazon returns policy is flawless and we have been refunded in full already, for the three pairs we had to returns.There's a useful fitting guide on outside.co.uk and YouTube where they also offer three different ways to lace up boots like this.Luckily, we were able to buy them at the reduced prices.Hope this helps others.

This is my second purchase of these boots and have been using my last pair for over 3 years and wear them every day. They have proved to be an excellent choice for comfort and remaining completely waterproof throughout their life. The inside ankle area is lined with soft leather and causes no rubbing whatsoever. They support the ankle well without feeling restricted and have probably been the best lightweight boots I’ve ever had. I purchased a half size smaller than my usual size and they fit perfectly. Highly recommend these boots and I will certainly keep purchasing this model for as long as I can.

Very lightweight and puts a spring in my step! Very comfortable fit straight away. Seems very waterproof so far, I've only had them on a handful of times.

Having tried on various different styles and makes, I kept coming back to the Berghaus Supalite 2 GTX as the fit was the best. I always take a size 8 womens, and these just felt so right the moment my foot slipped into the leather lined boots. They are a dark brown leather - perhaps not very elegant in looks, but to me that is unimportant when your out walking - priority should be the best fit and support for your feet and meeting the needs of your type of outdoor activity. I've only done a few miles in them so far (as Amazon always as for reviews so soon after purchase), but they felt great. Very light on the foot as you would expect, given the name. Rubbed a bit in places but this is to be expected with new boots. The tongue is soft so when you bend your foot it doesnt cut in. I'm certainly not an up mountain range girl, but more of a rambler - Ridgeway path, woods, chalk hills, etc. I wanted something I could wear all day, not look too massive (as 8 on a girl do) be comfortable, waterproof and reliable. I've had a Berghaus waterproof coat for years, which is still as good as the day I purchased it, so felt I could trust the make. Also Berghaus provide a guarantee for every product for its lifetime - "the length of time any piece of kit can reasonably be expected to keep delivering the same great performance as when it was new ". I'm looking forward to walking many more enjoyable hikes in these boots. I get the feeling they will mold to my feet quickly. The laces did untie a couple of times on my first walk, but I've put that down to being new and shinny, and after all its only laces. If I was considering hard mountain terrain, then I would seek advice from experts, but for rambling about on holidays, weekend etc I'm hoping I've made a wise choice.

Best hiking boots I’ve ever had. Very soft leather, truly waterproof, surviving frequent Ireland hikes, been to many other countries . Very very durable item

Excellent in every respect; true to size , so so comfortable. Feel very secure too. Excellent service from ordering to speedy delivery. Bonus, IF the boots ever need repairing, it will be done for free. Excellent value for money.

Love these boots. Very light and comfortable. Not sure about the grip. They slip on mud but perhaps any boots would. Can walk for miles in them, though.

Delighted with my new Berghaus Supalites. I previously had the original Brasher supalites which were my favourite boot ever. When they wore out after many years they were replaced with Salomon walking boots which were okay but I missed my Brashers. Once the Salomons semi-disintegrated and became frankly smelly I joyfully tossed them and was thrilled to stumble on these new supalites. Yes, the laces are a bit short, yes they aren't quite the same as the old version, not quite so deliciously soft and flexible as I recall, but they are still pretty terrific. I pondered on the size. In the end I ordered my normal shoe size because I don't go on mountain walks requiring super thick socks, normal socks are fine for my daily dog walks and more occasional 10 mile hikes. This worked out fine and the boots seem very well designed for my feet. The toe box is roomy I wore them straight from the box for a 9 mile walk and was totally comfortable. Leather boots suit us traditional types and they are so easy to clean. In my opinion they look great, I feel good wearing them. They are so comfortable that I've found myself wearing them around the house. I don't plan to try a new brand. While there are supalites on offer I'll be buying them.
