Overall happy with the shoe. The only complain is the Short gaiter can cause abrasion at the back of the ankle when wearing a ankle socks. Problem can be solve with a higher socks
Hello Frequent walker,
Thank you for submitting your review and suggestion to prevent abrasion on the back of the ankle!
Your feedback matters as it allows us to further understand how you use our products, and also provides useful information for other sports users looking to purchase the same product. As for our hiking shoes, yes it is recommended to wear socks that end above the ankle, so that your hikes or walks will be more comfortable too. Nevertheless, I am glad that you are satisfied with this FH500 Helium Men's Hiking Shoes - Black!
We look forward to more of your reviews and sharing! In the meantime, keep sporting on, and we hope to see you in our stores soon! :)
Sport on safely!

I take it for my hike, my cycling routine, my MTB trail rides and even casual walk. It's awesome. Intend to grab another pair before it runs out.
Hi Md Effendy,
Thank you for your review for the FH500 Helium Men's Hiking Shoes - Black!
I am delighted to find you're happy with this product! Yes indeed, this FH500 Helium Men's Hiking Shoes - Black is very lightweight and better grip as it only weighs 375g in size 8 and it absorbs and the polyester mesh wicks away moisture to keep you dry and fresh for a longer period of time :) What's more.. it has better traction where the CrossContact Sole offers an excellent compromise between dry & muddy terrain and it also has full cushioning thanks to its EVA mid-sole along the entire foot & limits sand entering too!
Practice on and have a nice day!
Sportingly,

No stones get into shoe due to fabric around top of shoe.very comfortable too.
the width at the front part is ok but the 'height' could be a little bit more so you can wiggle the toes more.
Hi Ghazali,
Thank you so much for your review for the FH Helium Men's Hiking Shoe.
Yes indeed, the EVOFIT feature of the shoe was designed to accommodate to wider feets.

Terrible narrow fitting with non-stretchable fast laces maybe helps explain the drastic price reduction. Sole cleats good and cushioning thick but uppers cannot withstand 12 hours non stop use.
Hello Hazette,
Thank you so much for your review for us. We're sorry-this item didn't meet your expectations.
This FH500 HELIUM MEN'S HIKING SHOES - BLACK is for those who like to walk fast & having no restriction in mountains. This shoe is very lightweight and will be able to leave with peace of mind while hiking. For trekking that is more than 3 or 4 hours, the shoe will need full cushioning.
We'll bring your feedback to our design team to see how we can improve in our future designs. We hope that we can serve you better in the future and we thank you once again for shopping with us.
Thank you and sport on safely! :)

The initial $70 sgd makes me hold off my purchase. When it was discounted at $35 sgd i could not resist the offer. The shoe is well made but with flaws. The sizing for me is alittle small on 43 but alittle loose on 44, the toe box is on the narrower side. The built in low gaiter could be better with a tightening lace as it was loose as i had bought size 44. The rubber on the locking laces came off on week 3. The shoe felt as it was a cross between trail running shoes and hikking shoes. The grip was good and was comfy when “run in”.

This is my first pair of hiking shoes from Decathlon. It's value for money especially after the discount. The shoe is quite comfortable n I was quite pleasantly surprised. But It run a bit narrow maybe due to my broad feets.

Wearing this shoes daily for 5 miles hikes in the last 6 months during the pandemic. The sole was almost worn out. It served me well. Nice light weight with evolfit molding to your feet. My left and right were not the same, so the shoes were great for this small issue. Just about to buy a replacement, but my size, 11.5, was sold out.
Saw there is a $20 price dropped from $55. Just love it. Comfort and sturdy.

Crosscontact sole
Sole design that has been the subject of extensive research in our laboratories, combined with a specific rubber formulation to offer a better compromise in terms of grip and traction. The design of the sole of the Forclaz 500 Helium will offer more grip than traction. Definition > Traction: this prevents slipping on soft ground (wet or dry). Grip: not slipping on hard ground (wet or dry).
Evofit technology
the inner foam, stretch mesh and exterior design are tailored to perfectly conform to the shape of your foot. This is combined with a welded film to provide good support and maximum comfort.
Buying and fitting advice?
Try on both boots while standing, with the socks worn for hiking. Try several models in several sizes if needed. Check the following 2 areas of comfort: the heel and the front of the foot when going downhill. There should be no compression points when fitting. Don't hesitate to walk around the store. Wear your boots for increasingly long periods to wear them in.
Which size should you choose?
For hiking, do not hesitate to take 1 size above your usual size to ensure optimal comfort when going downhill and prevent your toes from hitting the front of the boot. 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.
Test in the field
The comfort of all our shoes is tested when they are tried on and used by typical users under the real-life conditions you will 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.
Laboratory test
Further laboratory tests are also conducted to validate the following: tearing of eyelets and straps, gluing, toxicology, resistance to UV rays, abrasion of the sole and upper components, accelerated aging.

Product testing
Our team of designers is based at the foot of the Mont Blanc, in Haute-Savoie (France). All year round, we create and develop beautiful, simple and technically advanced products.
