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. A well-fitting, waterproof pair of walking boots will be a lifesaver in bad weather and on longer treks, and will have you hiking happily in rain or shine, blister-free. Well-made hiking boots don’t tend to come cheap, but it’s worth investing in one quality pair and looking after them. You’ll get years of wear out of them if you do. When buying Waterproof Boots, the quality of the product is going to be one of the factors that you really scrutinise before you commit to buying. 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.

The design and use of materials are ideal for long walks and rougher weather. At the same time, you still have a nice smart design that isn’t too masculine. 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 bootsThis 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. While some of the comments about loops coming off might suggest a decline in quality, it seems more likely that these issues are rare faults. Therefore, these Brasher boots should still be the tough, reliable option for women that are loyal to this brand.

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. 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. That soft suede leather is waterproofed with Gore-Tex, the soles offer great grip and stability even on tough terrain, and the boots look very smart, especially if you keep the leather in good condition.

Brasher Brand Dead!

Altberg is another top-scoring boot brand from our survey. Its roots were laid in Richmond, North Yorkshire, in 1989, and its factory is still there today – as well as a second in Italy. The boots are handmade and the fit is something members seemed to like, awarding Altberg the full five stars in this category. Survey respondents loved that they could buy boots in half sizes and various widths - suiting those with both wide and narrow feet. 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. 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.

They’ll also retain their original Brasher names, which should minimise any confusion over which models are which, in other words, the Brasher Hillmaster II GTX, for example, will become the Berghaus Hillmaster II GTX. The Same But Better? 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. The downside to buying online is that you can’t actually get hold of the product to try it out first.

Protecting Your Leather Hiking Boots

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?

The big story from Berghaus is that from later this year, the Brasher Boot brand will cease to exist in its current form some 36-odd years after founder Chris Brasher began development of the revolutionary lightweight hiking boot that bore his name, however the good news for Brasher boot fans is that key models will still be available as part of the Berghaus footwear range and will mostly likely carry some form of Brasher branding too we’re guessing. 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. This should be fine for walks in the summer months. There is also high praise for the immediate comfort and long life span, with a couple of people saying their old pairs lasted 20-25 years. 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. Price – as you’d expect the price of a product can be an instantly recognisable factor on what sort of quality you can expect. Whoever came up with the phrase “you get what you pay for” pretty much hit the nail on the head. Whilst it’s not always the case and there are many bargains to be had, you can as a general rule, expect the higher priced products to offer better quality than a the cheapest option. We’ll dive into the price of Brasher Women’s Country Master Walking Boots in more detail in a moment.Another factor that can be a great indication of product quality is the brand. Brands like Brasher are of course extremely well known, especially for Waterproof Boots. There is only one colour available, but it is a warm tan with brown accents and branding. There is a higher heel than some other walking boots, but still a good amount of grip on the outsole. 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. So why the shift? In short, the Brasher brand was, in business terms, ‘unsustainable’. It had a substantial share of the leather boot market, but its fabric boots and approach shoes simply never took off. Meanwhile Berghaus sells lots of its Explorer fabric boots, but has never had much success with leather.
