Who should buy the Berghaus Fellmaster Active GT
The Berghaus Fellmaster Active GTX manages to provide the necessary performance to day hikers, despite its breathability concern. It is a solid option if you:
- Prefer a hiking shoe that provides protection and performance for day hikers.
- Prefer a hiking shoe that provides water protection and breathability.
- Prefer a hiking shoe that provides traction on challenging ground conditions.
Excellent grip on wet and dry surfaces
Berghaus’ Fellmaster Active GTX is equipped with an Opti-Stud outsole to render traction. It’s made of a durable Vibram rubber compound that’s engineered to resist wear and tear. The outsole’s profile is filled with multi-directional lugs which grip on wet and dry surfaces.
Excellent traction
Its forefoot and heel areas contain small grooves which provide control in downhill and uphill conditions.
Comfortable and shock-absorbing cushioning
This low-cut hiking shoe from Berghaus uses a midsole made of lightweight EVA foam. The use of this material grants cushioning and shock absorbency. It’s paired with an Ortholite footbed which provides arch support and underfoot comfort.
Prevent the user’s foot from smelling
This component is also treated with anti-microbial agents to prevent the user’s foot from smelling during a hike.
Abrasion and water-resistant
The Berghaus Fellmaster Active GTX features an upper made of nubuck leather. This material imbues the shoe with resistance to abrasion and the elements. A Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane is embedded within the upper to seal water out. It also enhances breathability by allowing excess moisture to pass through.
Secure fit
This waterproof shoe is reinforced with rubber caps in the upper’s toebox and heel areas for improved durability. The gear’s closure system uses a series of eyelets to secure the laces in place. Its tongue and collar are padded to promote comfort. Moreover, a pull tab is positioned at the collar’s rear to facilitate an easy on and off.
