How to choose the right size
With a pair of socks of your choice, we recommend choosing a pair of boots a size above your usual size to leave space for your toes and avoid rubbing. Try on your boots at the end of the day, when the foot is a slightly swollen.
Boot accessorisation
Your boots provide great protection from snow! Their waterproof lining keeps your feet dry, while a warm, water-repellent fabric upper means you can say goodbye to the cold and infiltration of snow. Off to your next winter adventure!
Grip or traction? 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 on, you’ll make light work of wintry terrain!
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.
How durable are they?
Our engineers carry out tests to ensure that our products are up to the job! They test everything: strap strength, bonding, UV resistance, abrasion and even how it stands the test of time. Nothing escapes their inspections to make sure you are completely satisfied with the product.
What to wear for a hike in the snow
Here are our tips for braving the winter in style:
- Wool socks for maximum warmth,
- Breathable socks suitable for every adventure to keep your feet dry,
- One pair depending on the height of the upper because fashion and comfort go hand in hand in the snow
How to preserve the waterproofing
Imagine your waterproof boots like a shield against water! However, this waterproofing capacity requires a little refreshing from time to time to stay effective. All you need to do to refresh the material and prepare them for inclement weather is to give them a quick spray.
How do I dry the inside of my boots?
To effectively dry the inside of your damp boots, use newspaper to absorb moisture and change it regularly. Avoid direct sources of heat which might damage the material, and choose a dry, warm, well-ventilated place to dry them out.
Why is it important to store your boots properly?
If worn regularly: to improve longevity and prevent deterioration
A ventilated, dry place, away from significant temperature fluctuations
