Brand new 🎁 Hiking Clothing Quechua MH100, Waterproof Hiking 👞 Shoes, Men’s 👏

These hiking shoes have all you need for the mountains. Grippy soles, a waterproof upper, stone guard and full-length cushioning.

We designed this waterproof mid-height shoe at the foot of Mont Blanc, for regular mountain hikes (3-6 hours, 6-12 miles, 2300 to 4000 foot altitude difference)

Outsole with grip

The grip of our soles is certified. To be awarded this certification, the shoes must pass laboratory tests to assess the grip rate on different surfaces (Smooth, Rugged, Dry, Wet). To validate these tests, we assess the quality of our soles in the field, the mountains, by a panel of representative testers over 310 miles

Waterproofing test

In a laboratory, the shoe is immersed in water to mid height on a mechanical arm that simulates a number of steps.
With this test we can determine a time and a number of km that the shoe can walk while staying dry.
– 2000 bends, about 30 minutes of hiking
– 10,000 bends, about 3 hours
– 30,000 bends, approximately 8 hours
– 50,000 bends, approximately 12 hours
Then we confirm that the shoe keeps its promises in use on the ground and in the rain.

Making waterproofing last longer

To keep your feet dry, it is advisable to use waterproof gaiters or mini-gaiters that will protect the top of the shoe from incoming water, but also small stones, sand, etc.

We advise you to re-waterproof your shoes twice a year using a waterproofing product (look for “waterproofing” on our Decathlon website) that will help to restore the original water-repellent properties and combat external staining.

Which size should you choose?

The most important thing is to try several sizes and models of shoes to find the best one for you!
A size above your usual size can be taken to prevent toes from pressing against the tip when going downhill, provided that the foot is held properly in place to avoid friction.
Advice: keep your toenails short and, before a long descent check that your lacing is tight enough to prevent your foot from sliding forward inside the shoe.

Purchasing advice / How to try on your shoes

Some Decathlon stores are equipped with a test course.

1. Try both shoes on, standing up, wearing the socks you use for hiking.
2. Tighten the laces, taking care to correctly restart the tightening.
3. Check 2 points:
– the heel does not take off before the shoe when you walk uphill.
– the foot does not slide and the toes do not press onto the front when going downhill.
4. Try on several sizes and models.

Break them in gradually to adapt them to your foot.

Which socks?

A waterproof shoe will be less breathable than a non-waterproof shoe. Socks like the MH500 with a medium-length upper are therefore better for wicking away perspiration and reducing friction.

Optimize the capabilities of your shoes: replace your insoles!

The original insole in your shoes is designed to accommodate most feet. A change of insole can bring:
1. Improved support: some soles are preformed or reinforced to better support the arch of the foot.
2. More comfort: the insoles can also provide heat and/or cushioning.
3. Longer life: restore the support and comfort of your shoes by replacing the insole each season.
