How to choose the right size
If you are wearing hiking socks, we recommend choosing a pair of boots half a size above your usual size to leave enough space for your toes and avoid friction. Try on your boots at the end of the day, when the foot is slightly swollen.
What is a Snowcontact sole?
Our snow hiking soles validate a series of tests conducted in France, in one of our independent laboratories. The aim? To measure their grip on ice. Thanks to its non-slip rubber and an optimised 3D design, they provide excellent, approved grip, in the lab and snow.
Traction or grip? The differences
For traction, imagine the studs of shoes like claws that grip the floor when climbing.
For grip, grooves under the soles act like the tyres of a car, keeping you stable on slippery ground! With them, you'll make light work of the winter terrain!
What protection is offered for the outside?
Your boots provide great protection from snow! They feature a waterproof mid-height clog to keep your feet dry, and a warm, water-repellent fabric upper so you can forget about the cold and snow infiltration. Get ready for your next winter adventure!
What should you wear for a snow hike?
Here are our tips for braving the winter:
- Wool socks for maximum warmth,
- Breathable socks adapted to every adventure to keep your feet dry,
-Choose a pair adapted to the height of the upper, because style and comfort go hand in hand in the snow
What resistance do they provide over time?
Our engineers carry out analysis to check that our products hold the road! They test all the following: resistance of the straps with checks of the gluing, UV resistance, abrasion and ageing. Nothing escapes their attention to ensure your complete satisfaction.
How to preserve the waterproofing?
Imagine your waterproof boots like a shield against water! Its water repellent properties make it waterproof, breathable and lightweight. However, this power needs to be refreshed to remain effective. All you need to do to refresh the material and prepare it for bad weather is to give it a quick spray.
How to dry the inside of your boot.
To effectively dry the inside of your damp boots, use newspaper to absorb moisture and change it regularly. Avoid direct heat sources which might damage the material and choose a dry, warm, well-ventilated place to dry them out.
