Quechua SH920 X-Warm, High Snow Hiking Boots, Men's

Based on tests on how the cold is felt on the field and in the laboratory with a panel of users, we measure the thermal resistance of our shoes at rest (static) and in activity (dynamic). It is now possible to know precisely up to what temperature your shoes protect you. Temperature limits of comfort for your shoes are indicated. We take into account differences in sensation between men and women in our data.

Tested in the laboratory, the shoes give you an optimal impermeability. First immersed in water under air pressure, we check the absence of bubbles on the surface of the shoe. Then they are placed on a mechanical arm simulating walking, half immersed in water. We then check if the inside of the shoe remains perfectly dry. These laboratory tests are supplemented with use and aging tests on the field.

During the impermeability test, we tested 3 levels of impermeability 2000 flexions (about 2.5 miles of walking), 4000 flexions (about 5 miles of walking) and 8000 flexions (about 10 miles of walking).

This model of boot has been tested up to 8,000 flexes, equivalent to 10 miles of walking.

SNOWCONTACT soles are designed from a specific component and a cleat design adapted to ensure the best possible grip and adherence. SNOWCONTACT soles are also more effective than traditional snow soles. In case of use on ice, only the addition of anti-slip grips will ensure optimal safety.

This shoe has been tested on the field in climatic conditions adapted to its use by hikers accompanied by the product manager. We analyze in particular the technical elements of the shoe to validate the product in relation to its specifications and the feedback that you send us.

Our engineers conduct laboratory tests to fully guarantee your usage satisfaction. We validate among others the following elements: eyelets and straps support, collage, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion of the sole, components of the upper and accelerated aging.

Imported

All our shoes are tested for comfort and in use, by users who are representative of the target customers, under conditions that replicate real-life use. In particular, our "Test Missions" team up the product manager with people who aren't affiliated with QUECHUA, to test, improve and validate our products

Store in a dark, dry and well-ventilated place

Use the brush and/or sponge to clean the shoe and remove dirt or mud residue. Do not use shoe cream or waterproof grease on split leather. While it will not damage the leather, it will change the look of your shoe
