Where are our trekking boots made?
These trekking boots are made in the European Union, in Romania, in a factory specialized in the production of trekking boots.
The type of course for this shoe
This shoe is designed for trekking routes generally at low altitudes and/or on easy marked trails.
The level of waterproofness of this shoe
This shoe has been waterproofed to 10,000 repeatable flexes, i.e. 15 km of walking in water up to mid-stem. This now guarantees a very good level of waterproofing for our shoes.
--> Our evaluation indicates a LEVEL OF 3/5, offering waterproofing for 6 hours of hiking in the rain.
Details of the tests carried out to evaluate the waterproofing of our shoes can be found a little further down.
Increase the waterproofness of your footwear with a gaiter
Waterproof footwear is often compromised by the ingress of water through the top of the shoe.
--> To keep feet dry longer, use a waterproof gaiter or mini-gaiter to protect the top of the shoe from water ingress, as well as from stones and sand.

Choosing the right shoe size is a major challenge.
For hiking, don't hesitate to go one size larger than your usual shoe size, to ensure optimum comfort on the way down, and to prevent your toes from banging against the ground. Tip: keep your nails short and check that your lacing prevents your foot from slipping forward.
5 levels of waterproofing
Our shoes are tested in the laboratory using 2 consecutive tests:
Test 1: We test the effectiveness of the membrane alone when immersed in water under air pressure. We simply check for the absence of bubbles at the surface, as with a punctured inner tube.
Test 2: Using a mechanical arm to simulate walking, the complete shoes are half immersed in water and flexed thousands of times to check that the inside of the shoe remains dry and therefore waterproof.
