TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Can I be sure that my boots are warm enough for my winter hikes?
We perform comparative studies carried out in a thermal laboratory, in walking conditions in light winds (5km/h). This is how we measure the thermal resistance of our boots. However every individual feels the cold differently.
Comfort temperature: felt slightly cold and 70% of users found their thermal feeling acceptable on the feet.
Limit temperature: felt extremely cold and 10% of users found their thermal feeling acceptable on the feet.
How do my boots protect me from outdoor conditions?
Your boots have been designed with a 100% waterproof mid-height inner shoe to protect the part of the foot most in contact with the snow. The textile upper is water-repellent and warm to give you good protection against cold and snow ingress.
Seams mean that the join of the inner shoe and those of the upper are not waterproof. In very deep snow, water can, over time, get in through the seams and wet the foot.
What is the difference between traction and grip?
The grip of the boots depends on the number and shape of the spikes (3.5 mm on this boot). The grip is dependent on the materials of the sole and the tread pattern, like the tyres of your car. Traction optimises propulsion, prevents the boot from slipping backwards when going uphill and stabilises the boot.
Grip prevents the boot from slipping and skidding on smooth ground or in demanding conditions (rain, snow, ice) by giving the sole grip.
Will my boots withstand regular use over the long term?
Our engineers conduct laboratory tests to ensure that the product fully complies with your satisfaction in use. Our verifications include the following elements: tearing eyelets and straps, gluing, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion resistance of outsole and upper components, accelerated ageing.
How do I choose the right footwear for snow hiking?
To gear up in the winter, we recommend you follow the following principles :
Warmth: warmth provided by a warm pair of socks (ideally containing a suitable percentage of wool)
Breathability: Choose the sock according to the intensity of the hike and make sure you wear a breathable model to minimise moisture.
Boot height: adapt the height of the sock to the height of the upper and preferably choose high models if you want more protection.
How to preserve the technical qualities of my boots?
A fabric's water repellent property is its capacity to make water run off its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, warm and breathable. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the the boot. Products (spray or liquid) for this purpose are available in our stores.
How to dry the inside of your boot.
In use, the boot can become damp (condensation and perspiration)
If the boot is very wet, we advise you to remove the insole, fill the upper with newspaper balls and change them regularly. The paper will pump out moisture and speed up drying.
Never bring the boots too close to a heat source, but leave them in a warm, dry and ventilated place.

TESTS AND WARRANTY
Test product
Our Decathlon Sportslab laboratory, based in Lille, also contributes to the innovation and development of our Quechua products. It brings together 4 themes, each with their own area and technological tools: Body shape (in particular from 3D analysis) Movement science Thermal comfort (with its four climatic chambers) Behavioural and sensory sciences In particular, we test the holding of seams, gluing, toxicology, resistance to UV and abrasion.
