It’s fair to say that the rainier autumn weather can certainly have an impact on your choice of footwear.
Whether you like to go hiking or you are just getting out and about, it’s worth replacing your general shoes for a sturdy pair of waterproof boots. Fortunately, Amazon currently has a 42 percent discount on one top-rated pair.
The Berghaus Women’s Hillwalker Ii Hiking Boots have been described by the brand as ” the ultimate British-weather hiking boot”. Usually retailing at £160, Amazon users can bag them for just £92.26 – an impressive £67.74 saving overall.
Designed to “take on all UK weathers and landscapes”, these hiking boots have been crafted from a durable, yet also soft, oiled antique suede outer material. The OPTI-STUD outsole construction gives “exceptional grip on uneven terrain and wet rocks”.
With their waterproof Gore-tex performance membrane, water is said to “run off” these boots, leaving your feet completely dry. Available in shoe sizes 4 to 8, they also feature memory foam at the heel and tongue to ensure that they are “super comfy” to wear.
Averaging an impressive 4.6 rating on Amazon, Berghaus’ Women’s Hillwalker li Boots are proven popular among shoppers who have praised them as “brilliantly waterproof” and “comfortable straight out of the box”.
One delighted customer wrote: “Perfect fit and comfortable straight out of the box. Well worth the money.”
A second gushed: “Love my little boots.. light weight, comfortable and brilliantly water proof.. It’s great to watch the water run off as if wearing a Wellington boot!”

Someone else added: “I do a lot of walking with my dog and have been let down so many times with walking boots that are supposed to be waterproof. These boots definitely live up to the description. I have been walking through fields of long wet grass and my feet have remained dry and cosy. The boots are also surprisingly light and the non-slip sole would app appear to be just that. So far, so good. Really happy with my purchase.”
While another praised: “Been using these for 3 months to walk the dog and have now done so in quite heavy rain, so can confirm it is waterproof. They are also super comfy and there is very little breaking in needed, my feet never got blisters.”
Someone else said: “Boots are amazing from first wear. Light, comfortable, leather is top quality and overall an excellent walking boot. They also look great on. I’ve not yet worn them in the wet weather so an update on waterproofing properties to follow.”
Some shoppers have found the boots to be too heavy, as one such review read: “They are heavy and stiff, I don’t find them comfortable at all. The good thing is that they are warm and waterproof.”
