TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
How are the frequency and intensity of occasional use for the MH100 MID WP hiking shoes calculated?
We have classified our products in terms of performance and features for 3 levels of Mountain Walking:
- occasional: about 10 hikes per year of a duration of about 3 to 4 hours, covering less than 10km and less than 700m in elevation gain.
- Regular: about 20 outings per year. 4 to 6 hours, 10 to 20 km, 700 to 1,200 m of elevation gain per outing.
- Intensive: more than 20 times a year. Over 6 hours, more than 20 km, 1,200 to 2,000 m incline per outing.
What Outdoor Contact outsole is used for the MH100 MID WP hiking shoes?
New high-performance sole with our new exclusive rubber blend developed by our experts. More grippy, more durable. The sole is designed for better grip using 3D simulations and then laboratory tested to assess the coefficient of grip on different surfaces and conditions. Field tests in the mountains allow us to do the final validation with a panel of testers.
How is the waterproofing of the MH100 MID WP hiking shoes tested?
In a laboratory, the shoe is immersed in water to mid-height on a mechanical arm that flexes to simulates a number of steps. With this test we can determine a time and number of km that the shoe can walk while staying dry. Then we confirm in the field and under the rain, that the shoe meets its promises.
Making waterproofing last longer
To keep your feet dry, we advise you to use a waterproof gaiter or mini-gaiter to protect the top of your shoes and prevent water, pebbles and sand from getting in.
We advise re-waterproofing your shoes twice a year using a re-waterproofing agent (search for ‘waterproofing’ on our Decathlon website) which will help you restore the original water-repellent qualities and help prevent stains on the outside.
Which size should I select?
Some Decathlon stores have a test route.
1. Try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks worn for hiking.
2. Tighten the laces, taking care to correctly balance the tightening.
3. Check two points:
- the heel does not come up before the boot when you walk uphill.
- the foot does not slide and the toes do not press against the front when going downhill.
4. Try on several sizes and models.
Break them in gradually to adapt them to your foot.
How to prevent blisters
Blisters generally develop when the skin is weakened by friction. In order to prevent them from occurring, we recommend the following:
- Choose a hiking shoe in your size.
- Wear suitable socks
- Tie and tighten your shoes properly.
- Make sure you tighten or loosen your laces accordingly while wearing your shoes, especially before starting a climb or a descent.
- Wear your shoes on a short trip for the first use.
Which socks?
A waterproof shoe will be less breathable than a non-waterproof shoe. Mid-length socks like the MH500, MH520 and MH900 are therefore preferable for absorbing perspiration and reducing overheating.
Optimise the capabilities of your shoes by replacing your insoles
The original insole in your shoes is designed to accommodate most feet. A change of insole can bring:
1. Improved support: some soles are preformed or reinforced to better support the arch of the foot.
2. More comfort: the insoles can also provide heat and/or cushioning.
3. Longer life: restore the support and comfort of your shoes by replacing the insole each season.
How should you look after your shoes?
- Leave to air dry.
- Remove dry mud with a stiff brush.
- For stains, clean with a brush and a little lukewarm water.
- Leave to dry.
- Re-waterproofing spray to restore water repellency on the upper.
