Men's Country Walking Shoes Fresh NH100

The sole design is the product of a lengthy research process conducted in our laboratories, which has been combined with a special rubber formulation to optimize grip and traction. Given the variety of different needs, we always seek the best compromise between muddy off-road trails (like a forest path) and mineral trails (like a coastal path).

Our Fresh concept has a highly breathable upper with a sole construction that eliminates moisture. This technology was approved in a laboratory and during field tests to ensure that your feet feel dry throughout your summer hikes.

We recommend that you try on both boots while standing up and wearing hiking socks. Try several models and sizes. To make sure you are as comfortable as possible, check the following 2 areas: the base of your heel and the position of your forefoot when going downhill. There should be no pressure points when you try them on and walk about. We recommend that you gradually wear in your boots during your first few hikes so that they can conform to your feet.

Our hiking boots are designed for use on country trails. We choose the components of the sole and test them to ensure that they are ideally suited to hiking on loose trails (e.g. forest paths made of soil) or rocky trails (e.g. rocky coastal paths). Use on roads (tarmac) can result in the premature wear of your soles. Do not use them on mountain trails with significant gradients.

Laboratory tests are conducted to validate the following elements: tearing of the eyelets and components, gluing, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion of the sole and the components of the upper, accelerated aging.

Many things cause blisters when hiking: rubbing, a crease in the sock, moisture, a boot size that is too small or too big, etc. It is therefore important choose the right size and to have socks made of the right material for your hiking boots.

You must choose the right sock size for your foot so that there are no additional creases in the sock. If your sock is to big, there will be too much material around your feet, whereas if your sock is too small, it will get pulled inside the boot.

Moisture must be effectively managed when hiking: this is often unavoidable given that we perspire. If your boot is breathable, it will eliminate the moisture of your perspiration: we therefore recommend choosing a lightweight and breathable pair of socks. If your boots are relatively waterproof, you will not make the same choice to protect you from the moisture of the rain: it is preferable to buy socks that will absorb perspiration, to keep the moisture as far away as possible from your foot.

We recommend that you choose a pair of socks made of polyamide, without cotton. Polyamide is a fiber that is specially chosen for its capacity to eliminate moisture. So when you sweat, the socks made of polyamide will eliminate any moisture. Then, your boots will take over the task of wicking away the moisture to the outside thanks to the ventilated mesh. We recommend the Newfeel WS 500 FRESH socks.

Imported

Our design team imagined, thought up and designed the Quechua products in France, at the foot of the Mont Blanc. We test them in the field with other hikers to make sure that they are comfortable and durable. Whether it is the Forest of Fontainebleau or Brittany for example, we visit as many trails as possible, in all weather conditions. These moments involve a lot of discussions. We use this to get your feedback and prepare our future collections!

Store in a well-ventilated place away from light, moisture and heat sources.
