Brand Intro
Berghen is a family-owned Belgian brand from the Vankeerberghen family, launched in 1993 by Ancienne Maison J Dubois & Fils. Based in Belgium, they create hiking boots for categories A to C, prioritising quality materials, Vibram soles, and water-resistant membranes. Production is exclusively in Europe, with Jean-Jacques Vankeerberghen as CEO. Their philosophy: safe enjoyment of nature for families.
Who is this for?
You’re a family hiker tackling varied terrain, from gentle paths to steeper slopes. You prioritise ankle support, toe protection, and reliable grip that lasts seasons. You value European craftsmanship over mass-produced imports and seek boots that breathe yet repel water on all-day adventures.
