Traction

The location and depth of the 3 mm (0.12”) studs provide traction on snow.

Are my boots warm enough for my winter hikes?

We perform comparative studies carried out in a thermal laboratory, in light wind conditions (5 km/h or 3 mph). This is how we measure the thermal resistance of our boots. However, every individual feels the cold differently.Comfort temperature: Felt slightly cold and 70% of users found their thermal feeling acceptable on the feet. Limit temperature: Felt extremely cold and 10% of users found their thermal feeling acceptable on the feet.

How do my boots protect me from outdoor conditions?

A 100% waterproof mid-height inner shoe protects the part of the foot most in contact with the snow. The textile upper is water-repellent and warm for effective protection against cold and snow.

What is the difference between traction and grip?

Traction depends on the number and shape of the studs. The grip depends on the materials of the sole and the tread pattern, like car tires. Traction optimizes propulsion, prevents slipping when going uphill, and stabilizes the boot. Grip prevents the boot from slipping and skidding on smooth ground or in demanding conditions (rain, snow, and ice).

How much grip and traction does this boot provide?

Boots with Snow Contact soles provide maximum grip and traction on snow for hiking. The strategical spacing and height of the lugs (3 mm) offer optimal grip when hiking on snow. The lugs are designed to grip hard snow and evacuate excess water to avoid slipping.

What are the advantages of Snow Contact technology?

The material and tread of Snow Contact soles are specifically designed for optimal grip and traction. Snow Contact soles are more effective on snow than traditional soles. When walking on ice, adding anti-slip crampons to your boots is the only way to ensure optimum safety.

Will my boots withstand regular use over the long term?

This product was lab-tested by our engineers to ensure your total satisfaction. We tested the following elements: tear resistance of eyelets and straps, bonding, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion resistance of outsole and upper components, and accelerated aging.

How do I choose the right footwear for hiking in the snow?

Follow these guidelines to stay warm in the winter:Warmth: wear warm socks (ideally with a good percentage of wool). Breathability: choose socks based on the intensity of the hike and, to minimize moisture, make sure they’re breathable. Boot height: the height of the sock should correspond to the height of the boot—for more protection, choose higher socks.

How to preserve the technical qualities of the boots

Water repellency is a fabric’s capacity to make water run off its surface without being absorbed. It prevents the fabric from soaking up water, keeping it lightweight, warm, and breathable. Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment needs to be reapplied throughout the product’s lifetime. Products for this purpose (spray or liquid) are available in our stores.

How to dry the inside of your boot.

Boots can become heavy through condensation and perspiration if you wear them in wet conditions. If your boots are very wet, remove the insole and fill the upper with balls of newspaper, changing them regularly. The paper will absorb the moisture and help them dry faster. Never put the boots too close to a heat source. Leave them in a warm, dry, and ventilated place.
