The design of the sole is what strengthens the grip. Our laboratory tests evaluate the grip coefficient on various surfaces\/conditions, our field tests in the mountains confirm it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWaterproofing test\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe carry out tests in the laboratory. The boot is immersed in water to mid-height on a mechanical arm that flexes to simulate a certain number of steps. With this test we can determine the time and number of kilometres that the boot can walk while staying dry. Then we confirm these capacities out in the field and under the rain, with usage tests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe frequency and intensity of hiking\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur products are ranked according to three practice levels.\n1. Occasional use: 10 hikes per year of about a 3-4 hour duration, covering less than 10 km and less than 700 m in elevation gain.\n2. Regular: 20 outings of a 4-6 hour duration, 10 to 20 km, 700 to 1,200 m in elevation gain\n3. Intensive: more than 20 outings of more than a 6 hour duration, more than 20 km, 1,200 to 2,000 m of elevation gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat size should you choose?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe advise you 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ehow to try on your boots?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n1. Try on both boots, while standing up, with the socks worn for hiking.\n2. Tighten the laces, distributing the tension evenly.\n3. Check two aspects:\n- that your heel doesn’t lift up before the boot when walking on an incline\n- that your foot doesn’t slip; and also that your toes don’t hit the front on the downhill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ereplace your insoles\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original insole in your boots is designed to accommodate most feet. A change of insole can offer:\n- Better support (preformed or reinforced soles)\n- More comfort (warmth and\/or cushioning)\n- A longer boot lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow to care for your boots\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. Leave your boots to air dry.\n2. Remove dry mud with a stiff brush.\n3. Clean stains with a brush and some warm water and leave to dry.\n4. Use a re-waterproofing spray to restore water-repellency on the upper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat’s the weight of this pair?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach shoe weighs 319 g in size 38.It offers a good balance between lightness and protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat’s the difference between traction and grip?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTraction optimises propulsion, prevents the boot from slipping backwards and stabilises it. It depends on the number and shape of the boot crampons.\nGrip prevents the boot from slipping and skidding on smooth ground or in demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow to prolong the waterproofness? \u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe advise you to re-waterproof your boots twice a year, using a waterproofing product (available on our website\/in Decathlon shops) for continued protection against water. You can use waterproof gaiters to prevent the infiltration of water from the top of the boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe close fit of these hiking boots offers good precision. They are lightweight, cushioned and feature an ultra-grippy sole. Walk in absolute comfort with their breathable, waterproof upper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item large--one-half medium--one-half productFeature
