Arpenaz 500 Warm Waterproof Men's Hiking Boots - Black

Measurement of our boots' thermal insulation.

We conduct field and laboratory tests on people's sensitivity to the cold with a panel of customers to measure the thermal insulation of our boots at rest (static) and when walking (dynamic). This allows us to know precisely to what temperature your boots will protect you. Temperature limits for comfort are indicated for your boots. We take into account the fact that men and women feel the cold differently.

Footwear waterproofing test.

Tested in the laboratory, the boots provide optimal impermeability. The boots are initially immersed in water with pressurized air inside to check for bubbles on the surface of the boot. They are half-immersed and then placed on a mechanical arm that simulates walking. We then check whether the inside of the boot is still completely dry. These laboratory tests are complemented by field use and aging tests.

3 levels of waterproofing.

During the waterproofing test, we test 3 levels of waterproofing: 2000 flexes (around 2.5 miles of walking), 4000 flexes (around 5 miles of walking) and 8000 flexes (around 10 miles of walking).

Boot waterproofing level.

This model of boot has been tested up to 4000 flexes, equivalent to 5 miles of walking.

Field tests.

This boot has been tested in 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 boot to validate the product in relation to its specifications and the feedback you send us.

Lab tests.

Our engineers conduct laboratory tests to fully guarantee your satisfaction in use. We validate among other things the following elements: durability of eyelets and straps, bonding, toxicology, UV resistance, wearing away of the sole and all the component parts of the upper, accelerated aging.
