These high-top waterproof boots, which were co-designed with trekking enthusiasts, are for walking very comfortably on easy tracks.

OUTSOLE WITH GRIP

The grip on our soles is labelled CROSS CONTACT®.To be awarded this certification, boots must pass laboratory tests to assess the grip level on different surfaces (Smooth, Rugged, Dry, Wet). To validate these tests, we assess the quality of our soles in the field and in the mountains, using a panel of representative testers over 500 km

HOW WATERPROOF ARE THESE BOOTS?

This boot has been validated on the waterproofing test at 30,000 repeatable flexes, i.e. 15 km - 6 hours of walking, in water up to the mid-upper, which today guarantees the best level of waterproofing for your boots.--> Our assessment indicates a LEVEL OF 3/5 enabling 6 hour waterproofing in hiking under the rain.The details of tests carried out to assess the waterproofing of our boots is below, in the characteristics section.

MAKING WATERPROOFING LAST LONGER

The waterproofing of boots is often compromised because water gets in at the collar of the boot. To keep your feet dry for longer, it is therefore advisable to use a waterproof gaiter or mini-gaiter that will prevent not only water from getting inside through the top, but also pebbles, sand, etc. It is advisable to use a waterproof spray several times a year. This restores the original water-repellent properties and prevents staining.

CARE ADVICE

1 / Use a brush and/or sponge to clean the boot and remove any dirt or mud.2/ Then leave to air dry, away from any heat source.3/ Finish by using a re-waterproofing spray to keep optimal water-repellency of the upper and extend the life of the boot.Link below for the applicator

WHICH SIZE SHOULD I CHOOSE?

WHICH SIZE SHOULD I CHOOSE?For hiking, try taking one boot size up from your usual to ensure optimum comfort when going downhill and prevent your toes from hitting the toe box. Tip: keep your toenails short and, before descending, check that your lacing prevents your foot from sliding forwards inside the shoe.

5 LEVELS OF WATERPROOFING

During the waterproofing test, we test 5 levels of waterproofing: 2,000 flexes (approximately 4 km , 30 minutes of walking) 10,000 flexes (approximately 10 km , 3 hours of walking) 30,000 (approximately 15 km , 6 hours of walking) 50,000 flexes (approximately 20 km , 8 hours of walking)100,000 flexes (approximately >20 km , 24 hours of walking)

WATERPROOFING TEST

Our shoes are laboratory tested according to two successive testsTest 1 / We test the efficiency of the membrane only when it is pressured and placed in water, we check the absence of water at the surface, like when you test a ""punctured inner tube"".Test 2 / Thanks to mechanical arms that simulate walking, the assembled shoes are half immersed in water and they complete thousands of flexes to check that the inside of the shoe remains dry and it is therefore waterproof.

Which size should I select?

Laboratory tests were conducted to test the following elements:- tearing of hooks and eyelets- gluing of the sole- toxicology- UV resistance- abrasion of the sole and components of the upper- accelerated ageing.

SATISFIED OR YOUR MONEY BACK

If you do not need a new product or if it doesn't meet your sporting needs, you have 365 days to exchange it or seek a refund in all Decathlon stores.

Waterproofing test

Our boots are laboratory tested by 2 consecutive tests.Test 1: We test the effectiveness of the membrane alone immersed in water under air pressure. We simply check for any bubbles on the surface like a pierced air chamber.Test 2: Thanks to a mechanical arm that simulates walking, the entire boots are half immersed in water and they complete thousands of flexes to check that the inside of the boot remains dry and it is therefore waterproof.

BUYING TIPS how to try on your boots?

How to choose your boots:1. Try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks worn for hiking.2. Tighten the laces correctly.3. Check the following two areas of comfort: the base of the heel and the front part of the foot going down.4. Stand up to walk with the boots on.5. Try on several sizes and several models.6. Gradually start using you shoes during your first few hiking trips to break them in.

Lab tests
