WHAT IS YOUR HIKING FREQUENCY AND INTENSITY?

We have classified our products in terms of performance and features for 3 levels of hiking:
– occasional: about 10 hikes per year of about 3 to 4 hours in length, covering less than 6 miles and less than 2300′ in elevation gain.
– Regular: about 20 outings per year. 4 to 6 hours, 6 to 12 miles, 2300′ to 4000′ of elevation gain per outing.
– Intensive: more than 20 times a year. More than 6 hours, more than 12 miles, 4000′ to 6500′ of elevation gain per outing.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION

For the fabric lining of these boots, we dye the thread at source in order to reduce the environmental impact. Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce this environmental impact, we use a bulk dyeing process that involves adding the color pigments when the thread itself is produced.

SOLE WITH GRIP

The grip of our soles is certified. To be awarded certification, the boots 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, in the mountains, by a panel of representative testers over 310 miles

Waterproofing test

In the laboratory, the boot is placed in water up to the middle of the upper on a mechanical arm that flexes the boot to simulate a number of steps. With this test, we can determine a time and number of miles that the boot can walk while staying dry. Then we validate this in the field and in the rain to make sure that the boot keeps its promises in use.

Making waterproofing last longer

To keep your feet dry, we advise you to use a waterproof gaiter or mini-gaiter to protect the top of your boots and prevent water, pebbles, and sand from getting in.

We advise re-waterproofing your boots twice a year using a re-waterproofing agent (search for ‘waterproofing’ on our Decathlon website) which will help you restore the original water-repellent qualities and help prevent stains on the outside.

EVOFIT concept

This boot is fitted with the EVOFIT concept. With its stretch materials and specific design for the area of the foot where the joints are located, EVOFIT technology allows the boot to perfectly fit the shape of your foot.

Prevents stones from getting in

This MH900 boot has been designed to bring you maximum comfort on long, technical hikes. To prevent small stones and twigs from getting inside the boot, it has an elastic mini-gaiter.

PRODUCT DESIGN: OUR EXPERTISE

Our Quechua global design center is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie.
This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers, etc.) and outdoor sports enthusiasts.
A great asset for designing our hiking products and providing you with all our expertise.

Which size should you select?

The most important thing is to try on several sizes and styles of boots to find the one most suited to you!
You can take a size above your usual one to prevent the toes from bumping into the toe box when going downhill, provided the foot is properly supported to avoid friction.
Tip: 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 boot.

BUYING TIPS / HOW DO YOU TRY YOUR BOOTS ON?

Some Decathlon stores have a test route.

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

Break them in gradually to adapt them to your foot.

HOW DO YOU AVOID BLISTERS?

Which socks?

A waterproof boot will be less breathable than a non-waterproof boot. You should therefore opt for socks like the MH500, MH520, and MH900 with a high or medium upper to wick away perspiration and reduce friction.

How should you look after your boots?

– Leave to air-dry.
– Remove dry mud with a stiff brush.
– Clean marks using a brush and some warm water
– Leave to dry
– Spray with a re-waterproofing product to restore the water resistance to the upper.
