Brasher Brown Men's Country Master Waterproof Leather Walking Boots with Vibram Outsole, Men's Hiking Boots, Men's Outdoor and Recreational Footwear

Product Information

Zamberlan topped our walking boots survey. The brand was founded near the Piccole Dolomiti (Little Dolomites) mountain range in northern Italy and according to its customers, its boots would stand up to alpine terrain. Zamberlan’s boots, including many made from Italian leather, get the full five stars for comfort, durability, fit and water resistance. Boots like the top-selling Hillmaster II GTX, the Supalite II GTX and Fellmaster GTX will still exist, but with Berghaus branding along with subtle improvements. The basics remain the same: the boots will continue to be produced in the same factories, will still use the excellent UK-tanned, permanently waterproof Pittards WR100X leather and will use the same last, so the fit will be identical. The star here is the premium leather upper, which should provide plenty of support and waterproofing. You also get a lace-up closure to the ankle via metal hooks, a PU footbed with cushioning, and an E-vent system for breathability. One oddity of the switch is that while the combined range will include both current Brasher and Berghaus boots, for now both will retain their current lasting and fit, so in the short term at least wearers of Berghaus fabric boots will find that the ex-Brasher leather range has a slightly different fit and vice versa. Sadness The style is close to unisex but there are plenty of aspects to the shape and fit that make this a women’s shoe.

Brasher have a great looking pair of leather hiking boots in the Country Master, a traditional shaped boot in that yellowy-brown suede that has been associated with hill walking for generations. While my first wear of these was not uncomfortable, I knew they were never going to be day hike ready straight from the box like some of the other boots I’ve tested out recently. I received mine from the guys over at Millets, who sell a wide range of hiking boots for all kinds of hiker. After choosing the lighter material boots for many years, they wanted to know what I thought of a more traditional pair. That’s why we’ve pulled together this list of key factors for Brasher Women’s Country Master Walking Boots below, to help you choose if it’s the right product for you and your budget. The material the product is made from is often a sign of the quality for Waterproof Boots. Take a look at the product details over at Go Outdoors to get a feel for this. Oh and if you have a new pair of Dr Martens boots, going through this same process will be a very wise move! Protecting Your Leather Hiking Boots The downside to buying online is that you can’t actually get hold of the product to try it out first.

Mountain high or valley low, our pick of the best hiking boots on the market – for men and women – will do you proud in any weather

Combine Brasher’s leather boot sales and Berghaus’s fabric ones and, on paper, the combined range would actually be the best selling selection of outdoor footwear in the UK. Or that was the theory. Of course the big question was whether Brasher’s customers would accept the change of branding. a few comments about the sizing and them running narrower than expected, but this is rare. Then there are those that highlight issues with parts coming away, such as the D-rings for the laces. All of which means that from next spring 2015 – approximately February/March in the odd world of the outdoors industry calendar – Brasher, as it is, will cease to exist and you’ll find Hillmasters and the like branded as ‘Berghaus’ on the shelves.

I often talk about boots that are comfortable “straight from the box”, that is, with little or no breaking in required. It’s something of an advantage of the lighter mesh and material boots – if you choose a traditional leather hiking boot you are going to have to put in a little effort before they are ready to wear out on the trail. Leather is much stiffer when new, and while they might arguably last longer and be more comfortable in the long-run, there is this breaking in period to deal with first. Choosing leather boots over other materials is a personal choice. You can do all types and distances of hiking in either these days, and so your decision will be totally based on personal preference and comfort. If you like the feel/look of leather over textile then that’s all you need to know. Good hiking boots are an investment, so spend some time doing your research and trying on lots of different pairs. Remember that different brands produce boots with different fits and styles, and don’t be pushed to one particular boot based just on looks. And if you choose leather hiking boots then give yourself plenty of time before your first day hike to break them in.

The best hiking boots for men and women in 2022

This shoe is a more rugged women’s boot that mimics other styles. At the same time, it does this while still looking attractive and not too masculine. The Brasher Country Master Hiking Boots are an interesting choice for any woman in need of a strong walking boot that isn’t a unisex option.

There’s so much information available online when we’re shopping now, that it’s easy to find lots of detail about products like Brasher Women’s Country Master Walking Boots. This is of course really helpful, but there’s almost too much information available, so it’s important to know exactly what you’re looking for. To give that price some context we then looked at all of the products available from Go Outdoors in the Waterproof Boots category. We found 16 items in total. What’s the price of Waterproof Boots? They are not as heavy as I thought they might be, but they are a substantial boot which, when compared to something like the KEEN Terradora, weighing in at 700g (or there abouts, I’m not sure how accurate my bathroom scales are) per boot for my size sevens. The weight isn’t an issue to me at all, and now mine are broken in I can confirm they are super comfortable and very stable on the trail. And that bright yellow upper? LOVE it! It’s just what a hiking boot should look like, in my opinion, and means the photos taken in the corn field just look great! Breaking in Leather Hiking BootsThe Brasher Country Master Hiking Boots are an attractive option that appears to be built to handle tougher walks. A premium leather upper shields the foot with durable protection while the waterproof E-Vent membrane keeps feet cool and dry. It prevents sweat build-up and keeps moisture out of the interior environment by allowing air to circulate throughout the shoe, while also keeping water out. This enables users to move and explore with confidence, even in wet weather conditions such as rain and snow. Criticism is rare with this Brasher Country Women’s Hiking Boot, aside from some sizing and minor faults.

There are however some methods that you can use to determine a product’s quality without needing to physically have it. And what you may not know, is that both brands are part of the same Pentland Group of companies and are even based in the same building in Washington, Tyne and Wear. What followed was a huge research campaign by Berghaus including 55,000 questionnaires, 500 hours of focus groups and 250 miles walked with Brasher boot users the upshot of which was that Brasher boot users – some 67% of them – are also avid fans of Berghaus clothing and equipment. Using the table: Survey (conducted in March and April 2021) is based on data from 3,118 Which? members who own walking boots bought since 2016. ‘-’ = there isn’t enough data. Average price paid is based on the mean amount members paid for their footwear. Customer score is based on satisfaction and whether members would recommend the brand. Zamberlan walking boots One additional step I would take from the first time you wear your leather hiking boots outside would be to take time to clean and protect them properly. Just as you would polish a pair of good leather shoes with shoe polish and a brush, you should do the same for your hiking boots – especially if you have chosen a lovely fine suede pair like my Brasher Country Masters. This will make sure that they last as long as possible.The word ‘improvements’ is guaranteed to make brand fans shudder, but in this case, it’s all good with the main change being a switch to more reliably grippy Vibram rubber for the outsoles of the Hillmaster and Supalite, but with no change to the distinctive mud-friendly, anti-clogging studded sole. And there’s no increase in price either.
