Forclaz Trek 100, Hiking Boots, Women's

It was too uncomfortable and when I would to refund it, salesman said me: you should put on and walk many kilometres in your home before putting on outside!!!!! So I’m so disappointed to your shop.

Wife loves these boots, fit like slippers.

I have been going on lengthy walks in lockdown but as the weather was getting wet I decided to upgrade to waterproof boots. These boots seemed comfortable when I tried them in the store but they have caused me terrible pain which forced me to stop going on walks. This is frustrating as it’s one of the few things we can do in lockdown. Let me be clear that I have never suffered from any foot pain and haven’t torn or broken any bones/tendons ever. These boots gave me the worst Achilles heel pain ever (Achilles tendinitis). The pain started gradually and got to the point that I could not get in those boots and walk. I was limping as if I had a fracture. I bought some insoles but this did not make any difference. The minute I stopped wearing and switched to some new balance trainers the pain went away. But it took me various days of rest to get there. I think these boots are very hard and do not absorb any shock, hard surfaces. They do not offer enough support and have been an absolute waste of money. I would not recommend these buy something else. I used to own the cheaper version of the Quechua ones and they were half the price and much better. The reason I went for these is because these are waterproof.

The laces snag on the eye hooks causing feet to tie together and you fall over!

These boots seemed comfortable when I bought them at the store, and for the first few walks on plain, level tarmac around the city (I was testing them before my hike). Then I went on a 25 km hike that included steep ascents and descents of 700 meters, and even though the shoes held up well during the ascents, they hurt like nobody's business during the descents. Much of the trail was more or less level, with gentle gradients, but after about 2 hours of walking, the front of my feet (the balls under my toes) started hurting, as if the insoles offered no cushioning whatsoever. I could feel rocks, stones, and the texture of everything on the ground. By the time the path started descending steeply, the bones in my feet were so fatigued with pain that I felt like I was walking on knives. For the last few kilometers, I took off the boots and wore flip flops instead, and then I tried walking barefeet on the tarmac road when we reached the city, and even walking barefoot was more comfortable than walking in these shoes! I tried putting in new, better cushioned insoles at one of our stops, but the pain persisted on the remaining days of the trip, so I'm giving up on these shoes. Do NOT buy! The insoles are horribly cheap, flimsy and offer no support or cushioning. I have not tested the waterproof-ness, but the sheer discomfort of these shoes now have me trawling online for a brand new pair (NOT from Decathlon ever again), less than half a year of buying these shoes!

light and comfortable

Wore these out of the box for a walk of about 6 miles with no problem. Very comfy and waterproof. My only slightly negative comment is that the laces slip over the top of the boot, so I now use the top two hooks first and do them up on the next set of hooks down so the 'knot' is away from the top.

Bought these for my son's scouts camp and he loved them. Comfy and warm.

Good boot, perfect fitting can be worn all day no problems

1st pair of walking boots purchased from Decathlon. Superb!!

Wanted something to walk the dog that was more practical than trainers and these are up to the job

Very comfortable shoe. Gave it a good workout on holiday and it stood up to all my walking over lots of different terrains, would definately recommend.
