Quechua Men's NH150 Waterproof Hiking Shoes

Upper of: 50.0% Polyamide, 5.0% Elastane, 30.0% Polyurethane, 15.0% Polyester ; Outer sole of: 100.0% Butadiene Rubber ; Lining and sock of: 70.0% Polyester, 30.0% Polyurethane

The sole’s design is the result of long research carried out in our labs. It is composed of a specific rubber formula that optimizes grip and resistance. We are always looking for the best solution to progress on loose (forest path) and rocky (coastal path) walking trails.Road use may lead to premature wear on your boots and cause discomfort. They are not suitable for mountain hiking.

Laboratory tests were conducted to test the following elements: tearing eyelets and straps, gluing, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion-resistance of outsole and upper materials, accelerated aging. These tests allow us to improve the quality of our products and prevent premature wear of our hiking boots.

The NH150 WP boots have been laboratory tested for 2,000 flexes. This means they will stay waterproof for a 2-hour hike. During the waterproofing test, we test 3 levels of waterproofing: - 2,000 flexes, approximately 2 hours of hiking- 4,000 flexes, approximately 4 hours of hiking- 8,000 flexes, approximately 8 hours of hikingWe recommend you use a waterproof spray several times a year to restore the original water-repellent properties and fight against

Laboratory- and field- tested, these boots have a membrane to ensure optimal waterproofing and breathability. First, the boot is immersed in water while internal air pressure is applied to check that no bubbles form on the surface of the footwear. Next, boots are fitted to a mechanical arm that simulates walking and half immersed in water so we can test that the inside remains perfectly dry.

Try on both boots, standing up and wearing the socks you use for hiking. Try on several models or sizes if necessary. Check 2 comfort points: - the heel seating- the front of the foot on a downward slopeAvoid any pressure points when fitting. Feel free to walk to test the comfort and support. Gradually start using your boots during your 1st few hiking trips to break them in.

These boots are slightly breathable, but not enough to evacuate all humidity created by your perspiration. We advise you to choose Hike 100 Mid socks: they contain moisture-absorbing cotton and have a reverse terry-knit construction under the sock that wicks moisture away from your foot. They are also high enough to protect your ankle from the boot. It is an excellent combination to reduce the chance of blisters.

Our Quechua global design center is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie. This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers, etc.) and outdoor sports enthusiasts. A great asset for co-designing high-quality products for your hikes and giving you access to all our expertise.

We recommend you store your boots in a dry, dark, and, if possible, ventilated place away from any heat source.
