The grip and traction of our soles is certified CONTACT®To be awarded certification, the boots must pass laboratory tests to assess the grip rate on different surfaces (Smooth, Rugged, Dry, Wet). To validate these tests, we assess the quality of our soles in the field, the mountains, by a panel of representative testers over 500 kmTheir notching also gives you grip adapted to muddy or wet terrain

This boot has been tested and validated for 10,000 flexes repeatable, equivalent to a 15 km walk, in water reaching the mid-upper. This now guarantees a good level of boot waterproofing.--> Our assessment indicates a LEVEL OF 3/5 giving 6 hours of waterproofing when hiking in the rain. The details of tests carried out to assess the waterproofing of our boots is below.

Even though this model has a membrane (waterproof, breathable), it is recommended you use a waterproof spray several times a year to restore the original water-repellent properties and prevent staining--> It revitalises the water-repellent properties of the outer material (water runs off the surface and doesn't soak in). Each fabric section is then sprayed and in particular the seams are not to be forgotten. (water loves the seams!)

1 / Use a brush and/or a sponge to clean; remove any soil or mud.2/ Then leave to air dry, away from any heat source.3 / Shake the waterproof spray can4 / Spray the product from a distance of 25 cm 5 / Leave for at least 10 minutes. Caution: Do not rub or wipe.

The waterproofing of boots is often compromised because water gets in at the collar of the boot. --> To keep your feet dry for longer, it is advisable to use a waterproof gaiter or mini-gaiter that will prevent water as well as pebbles and sand from getting inside through the top of the boot.Model perfectly suited for wear with this MT500 black trekking gaiter (8347880)

For hiking, do not hesitate to buy one size larger than the usual size to guarantee excellent comfort on the descent and to avoid toes rubbing at the tip of the shoe. Tip: keep your toenails short and, before descending, check that your lacing prevents your foot from sliding forwards inside the boot.

All our shoes undergo comfort and use tests carried out by users who are representative of our target market, in conditions identical to those found in typical use. In particular, our Test Missions link the product manager up with people who are not affiliated to FORCLAZ to test, develop and approve the products.
