Boots suitable for which trails?
The design of the sole has been studied in our laboratories to provide a unique rubber that optimises traction and grip. Ideal for loose paths (forests) and rocky terrain (coast), its use on the road can accelerate wear and cause discomfort. Not suitable for high mountain use.
How do we test waterproofing?
Our boots undergo an intensive test in the lab to guarantee their waterproofing ability. They are immersed in water and folded to simulate actual hiking conditions. This test ensures that your feet will stay dry for at least two hours, even in rainy or wet conditions.
How to prevent blisters
To prevent blisters, choose well-fitting shoes, wear suitable socks, lace them up properly and adjust the laces before climbing and descents. Then start with short outings to get your new pair of shoes used to your feet.
Why choose a good pair of socks?
When walking in the forest, on the coast or every day, your feet are presented with numerous constraints. If your boots rub, this can be unpleasant, especially if you’re also sweating. And the cold can feel really uncomfortable if you don’t have adequate sock protection
Which socks should you choose?
A waterproof boot will always be less breathable than a non-waterproof one. That’s why MH500 and MH520 socks with a high or medium upper are the preferred choice to wick away perspiration and reduce chafing in this pair of boots.
How should you look after your shoes?
- Cleaning mud off: Remove dry mud with a hard brush,
- Treating stains: Brush with warm water,
- Drying: Air dry until completely dry
- Re-waterproofing: Spray a solution to restore water-repellency.
