Measurement of the shoes’ thermal insulation:

It is therefore possible to accurately know down to which temperature your shoes are protecting you. The limit comfort temperatures indicated for your shoes. We take into account the differences in sensing cold between men and women.

Shoes waterproofing test:

The shoes were tested in the laboratory and give you an optimal impermeability. First immersed in water under air pressure, they are checked for bubbles in the surface of the boot. Afterward, they are placed on a mechanical arm simulating walking halfway in water. We then check that the inside of the shoe remains perfectly dry. These laboratory tests are completed by use and aging tests in the field.

During the waterproofing tests, we test 3 levels of waterproofing, with 2000 flexes (approx. equivalent to a 2.5 mi. walk), 4000 flexes (approx. equivalent to a 5 mi. walk) and 8000 flexes (approx. equivalent to a 10 mi. walk).
