We chose a warm, insulating lining to protect you from the cold.
We tested it in the laboratory and in the field with representative users. We checked how comfortable it stays when you're standing still and when you're walking, because it varies a lot: -6°c statically and -14°C dynamically. Your boots have been designed with a membrane to ensure waterproofing and breathability. A membrane is a very thin component (from 5 to 25 micrometers) affixed to the inside of a fabric that prevents water from entering while allowing moisture to evacuate.|We made sure your boots are waterproof with laboratory tests simulating walking with feet half immersed in water, and with use and aging tests in the field.|The boot's grip is linked to the studs, their number and their shape. Grip, in turn, depends on the materials and treads used on your soles, much like the tires on your car. Grip optimizes propulsion, prevents the boot from skidding backwards when climbing, and stabilizes the boot.
Grip prevents the boot from slipping and skidding on smooth terrain or in demanding conditions (rain, snow, ice), by providing the sole with grip.|Our engineers conduct laboratory tests to fully guarantee your satisfaction in use. Our engineers carry out laboratory tests to guarantee your complete satisfaction with our products. We validate the following elements, among others: eyelet and strap resistance, bonding, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion of sole and upper components, accelerated ageing.
Warmth: warm socks provide warmth. (ideally with a % wool sock)
Breathability: choose socks according to the intensity of your hike, and in particular choose breathable models to limit humidity.
Stem height: adapt the height of the sock to the height of the stem, and opt for high models if you're looking for more protection.|The water repellency of a fabric is its ability to let water slide off its surface, without absorbing it. This means the fabric doesn't become waterlogged, and remains light, breathable and warm. Water repellency is achieved by a treatment applied to the outside of the fabric. This treatment needs to be renewed over the life of the boot. Products (spray or liquid) are available in our stores for this purpose.
If the boot is very damp, we recommend removing the insole, filling the shaft with newspaper balls and changing them regularly. The paper will pump out the moisture and speed up drying.
Never place boots too close to a source of heat, but leave them in a warm, dry, well-ventilated place.
