Are the Berghaus Expeditor Trek 2.0 boots fully waterproof?

They have a Berghaus AQ waterproof lining and a water-resistant suede upper, so they handle rain, wet grass and puddles. They are not rubber boots, and the waterproofing needs reproofing to hold up over time.

Do they need breaking in?

Most owners report no break-in period. The suede and padded lining feel soft from the first walk, though wearing them around the house first is sensible.

Are they good for serious mountain hiking?

They suit day hikes, trails and wet-weather walks. For multi-day trips, heavy packs or rocky ground, a stiffer boot with more ankle support is the better choice.

How do they compare with the original Expeditor Trek?

The 2.0 keeps the same light suede-and-AQ formula with an OrthoLite footbed and Opti-Stud sole. It is an update on comfort and outsole rather than a stiffer, more technical boot.

What should I wear them with?

They fit best with mid-weight hiking socks. The ankle-high cut works with shorts or trousers, and the plain suede looks acceptable in town.

How should I care for the suede?

Brush off mud when dry and reproof the suede regularly to keep water beading. Avoid machine washing, which damages the lining and shape.

Our take on the Berghaus Mens Expeditor Trek 2.0 Boots

The Expeditor Trek 2.0 is Berghaus's entry-level men's hiking boot: a suede upper over a waterproof AQ lining, an OrthoLite footbed and an Opti-Stud rubber sole. It is light and comfortable straight out of the box, which suits day walks, dog walks and light trails more than rough ground or heavy loads. Against stiffer leather boots it gives up support and durability, but it undercuts most of them on weight and simplicity. Owners rate it highly for comfort and value; the common complaints are wet feet in long grass and soles that wear on hard ground.
