Who did we design it for?

For hiking shoes (women's) who venture on technical mountain trails with load carrying.

Designed for day hikes and multi-day hikes where the terrain demands protection, support and reliable grip.

Those who want a shoe durable and repairable rather than disposable.

How should you wear it?

Take the time toadjust the lacing mid-route to lock the heel firmly on descents and prevent hotspots. Opt for socks with a higher upper to avoid chafing throughout your adventure.

We recommend following the size guide carefully to receive the right size first time.

What makes the difference?

Its upper high leather upper with sole VIBRAM® delivers the durability of a trek model at a controlled weight. 960 g per pair (size 38)

How to care for it?

To keep your shoes performing at their best for longer, hand wash them with lukewarm water and a soft brush. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Leave them to air dry, away from direct heat sources. To restore water repellency and extend product protection, use the Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof.

The stability that unlocks progression

In the mountains, every footstep matters. Unstable scree, wet slabs, off-camber slopes. When the terrain steepens and the pack weighs on your shoulders, a poorly supported foot turns every step into hesitation.

The BERARDE 2 was designed to secure your footing on the most demanding terrain. Its high upper locks the ankle without excessive stiffness. Grip remains consistent, uphill and down, on dry rock or waterlogged trail. The foot is protected, cushioning absorbs repeated impacts, and progress stays fluid even after hours of effort.

Because in trekking, confidence in your footing decides how far you go.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers particularly appreciate the comfort, with several describing these shoes as real “slippers” for hiking. Many also praise their light weight, while several highlight the good ankle support and the sole’s grip on rocky ground, including high mountains in the snow for one customer. The quality inspires confidence: one customer bought another pair after three years. However, the fit can be narrow and the upper may feel stiff, so consider going up a size depending on your foot and needs.

I wear a size 37 dress shoe and bought size 38 hiking boots. They fit perfectly. Very comfortable. They look great. Very pleasant for walking. So far, I've only done a short hike. I'll have to see how they perform on a longer, day-long hike. I'm delighted with this purchase. I even wore them after breaking the first phalanx of a toe: no problem, everything was fine. The support is perfect. I highly recommend them.

Satisfied I ordered the next size up as you recommended, but they're slightly too big. With orthotics, these shoes fit me well. Very comfortable and lightweight, I recommend them.
