The brashers are good, they lasted me a year and didnt leak.

I now have some Meindl Vakuum Gtx boots, they are the mutt' nuts and well worth the money.

Had a pair of these, absolutely crap , leaked after 1 wk, sole is crap , no grip in slippery conditions, lethal on ice, sole is not even a vibram sole , it is a cheap rubber sole glued over foam ! Mine have split, to reveal the foam under Neath.
Now using scarpa ranger gtx, on £ 30 more than berghaus, but in a totally different league , the best boots Are my  Mendel Burma pro, have covered many miles in them , in the lake district and peak district , still 100 percent water proof after 1 1/2 yrs both have vibram soles, with terrific grip.

Hello all
I use Berghaus(explorer trek) for all outdoor work(except jet washing -wellies required)They are a great boot and wouldnt trust my pins to anything else
Plus I change my boots every year!! I know its a bit excessive but then again , 7 years in the infantry teaches you that you aint gonna get anything done unless your happy from the ground up

Hope that helps

regards

Roy Cauldery :) :)

Engelbert Strauss gear lasts forever.  These boots have lasted twice as long (so far) as any hiking boots I've worn, are dry as a bone, have a safety toecap and a steel plate in the sole for protection from punctures.  They are still fully waterproof and the soles haven't worn at all in eight months of daily use.

DR MARTENS SLIP ON BOOTS

Been wearing these for 5 years every working day summer/winter.  Still plenty of wear left and not a drop of water let in.  And.......  so comfortable.  Also ideal for slipping off when you enter a cutomer's house.

They were bought from a reputable co. on line. Perhaps a dud pair, would have sent them back but to much trouble, never had a problem with any of my other berghaus gear.

Brasher Supalites here. Bought them in March 2010. Have walked hundreds of mies in them and used them for work through last winter and this. Had a bad leak on my pole tap the other day though and right foot got wet. It's not clea yet though whether that is from outside, or water dripping through the top.
