Quechua MH120, Mid Velcro Hiking Boots, Kids'

The design of the sole has been the subject of in-depth research at our laboratories, combined with a specific rubber formulation to offer the best compromise between grip and traction. As no 2 requirements are ever the same, we automatically look for the best compromise for walking on both wet and dry terrain.

During the waterproofing test, we test 3 levels of waterproofing, i.e. 2,000 flexes (about 2 hours of walking), 4,000 flexes (about 4 hours of walking) and 8,000 flexes (about 8 hours of walking). The MH120 MID children's boot is waterproof for 4,000 flexes.

A shoe's waterproofing is often undermined by water getting in from the top of the shoe. To keep your feet dry for longer, it is therefore advisable to use a waterproof gaiter or mini-gaiter that will prevent water as well as pebbles, sand, etc. from getting inside through the top. It is advisable to use a waterproof spray several times a year. This restores the original water-repellent properties and prevents staining.

Get your child to try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks worn for hiking. Check the following 2 areas of comfort: the heel seating and the front of the foot on a downward slope. Avoid any pressure points when fitting. He or she should wear in the shoes gradually over a few hikes. On the internet, you can print out the foot gauge and check your child’s foot length.

For hiking, do not hesitate to choose 1 size above your usual size to ensure optimal comfort when going downhill and prevent your toes from hitting the front of the shoe. Advice: keep your toenails short and, before making your descent, check that your lacing prevents your foot from sliding toward the front of the boot.

All of our shoes are tested for initial comfort and comfort during use, by users who represent the target market, and under the same conditions as you would encounter in use. Our Mission Tests bring together the product manager with people who are not affiliated with Quechua to test, develop and approve the products.

Further laboratory tests are also conducted to validate the following: secure attachment of eyelets and straps, gluing, toxicology, resistance to UV rays, abrasion of the sole and upper components, accelerated aging.

Our design team is based at the foot of Mont-Blanc, in Haute-Savoie (France). All year round, we create and develop products that are attractive, simple and technologically advanced. These are then ruthlessly tested in the field, because we believe that the only way to continuously improve our products is to test them under the real-life conditions that you will experience in use.
