Bergkomfort Wanderstiefel 2.0 Review

[Willyb43]

I didn't lay the insoles on top of each other to compare profile, but I put the 42 vivo insoles into the Baer and they fit perfectly and are also much more comfortable with the vivo insole due to more space. Where my toe hit the end of the boot with the Baer insole in and bending the toe all the way as if hiking up something very steep, that doesn't happen with the vivo so it also feels as if it lengthens the boot in addition to giving more volume.

I did a 45-50 mile backpacking trip in them with the vivo insole and they're awesome. I am planning to write up a review/report but haven't gotten to it yet. I think they'll blow the vivo out of the water for durability and water resistance. Thanks for testing these and bringing them to attention!View attachment 736517

I bet the insole thickness does have an effect on length. Lowering your heel might allow it to sit further back, deeper into the heel counter pocket at the back of the boot.

I’m glad they worked out for you, I’ve really been enjoying mine. I like them more and more every time I bolt them to my feet.

Love this thank you! Im transitioning into minimalist footwear and need a pair of boots. Hopefully they will restock the bigger sizes...

Any update on these boots? How have they fared through a season or so of hunting?

I have used mine quite a bit although not in wet conditions as much as I would have liked. I probably have 150 miles on them. They've held up very well so far.

They're noticeably different from the vivo tracker esc, but in a good way. More substantial outsole and grip, which gives a little more rock protection if you want it. The heel is a bit more stiff. There's lower foot volume per the same size. I think if I were ordering again I would go up half size. Mine shrank a little after getting them wet and then drying. They do stretch out again after wearing, but it's just something to note. The tracker esc do not.

I'm not sure yet, but I think that maybe the leather gets out a little easier than tracker esc if using the same type of waterproofing wax
