Our products are classified based on performance for 3 hiking levels:
- Occasional: around ten hikes a year, 3-4 hours each, less than 10 km, and less than 700 m of elevation.
- Regular: about 20 outings a year, 4-6 hours each, 10 to 20 km, and 700 to 1,200 m of elevation per outing.
- Intensive: more than 20 times a year, more than 6 hours each, more than 20 km, and 1,200 to 2,000 m of elevation per outing.

What frequency and intensity of hiking are these shoes for?

New high-performance sole with an exclusive rubber blend developed by our experts. More grippy, more durable. The sole was designed for grip using 3D simulations and then laboratory tested to assess the coefficient of grip on different surfaces and conditions. Field tests in the mountains allowed us to do the final validation with a panel of testers. 
30% rubber

Outdoor Contact sole

In a lab, the shoe is immersed in water to mid height while on a mechanical arm that simulates walking. We use this test to determine how long and how far the shoe can go and stay dry. The results are validated in the field and in the rain to ensure consistency.

Waterproofing test

To keep feet dry, use a waterproof gaiter or mini-gaiter to protect the top of your shoes and keep water, pebbles, and sand out.

Re-waterproof shoes twice a year (search for “waterproofing” on our Decathlon website) to help restore original water-repellent qualities and prevent stains on the outside.

Extended waterproofing

Some Decathlon stores have a test trail.

1. Try on both shoes, standing up, wearing your hiking socks.
2. Tighten the laces evenly.
3. Check two points:
- your heel doesn’t lift up before the shoe when walking uphill.
- your foot doesn’t slide and your toes don’t touch the front when going downhill.
4. Try on several sizes and models.

Break them in gradually to adapt them to your feet.

What size should I choose?

Blisters generally develop when the skin is weakened by friction. To prevent blistering, we recommend the following:
- Choose a shoe in your size.
- Wear suitable socks.
- Tie and tighten your shoes properly.
- Make sure you tighten or loosen your laces, especially before starting a climb or a descent. 
- Wear your shoes on a short trip for the first use.

How to prevent blisters

Waterproof shoes are less breathable than non-waterproof shoes. Mid-length socks like the MH 500, MH 520, and MH 900 Hiking Socks are great for absorbing perspiration and reducing overheating.

Which socks?

The original insole in your shoes is designed to fit most feet. Changing the insole may provide:
1. Improved support: some soles are preformed or reinforced to better support the arch of the foot. 
2. More comfort: the insoles can also provide warmth and/or cushioning.
3. Longer life: replacing the insole each season can restore the support and comfort of your shoes.

Optimize your shoes: change the insoles

- Leave to air dry.
- Remove dry mud with a stiff brush. 
- Clean marks using a brush and some warm water.
- Leave to dry.
- Spray with a re-waterproofing product to restore the upper’s water resistance.

Worn as a third layer, this down jacket was certified effective during standardized heat chamber testing to a low of -5°C. The model is wearing a synthetic, long-sleeved shirt and a light fleece underneath. It works with a simulated 5 km/h (3 mph) wind. We also tested this product in static mode; the comfort temperature is 5°C in this case.

How warm is this padded jacket?

The fill power of down has 3 advantages for mountain hiking: 
- Thermal insulation, because of the air trapped in the down and feathers.
- Ultra-lightweight: down wadding is lighter than synthetic and provides the same warmth. This saves more weight in your backpack.
- Ultra-compressible.

The advantages of down and feather filling

Fill power is a measure of the down’s thermal insulation capacity and potential to trap air. It is expressed in cuin (cubic inches). Down with higher fill power will take up more space, trap more air, and provide greater thermal insulation. This jacket is filled with 90% down and 10% feathers and has a guaranteed fill power of 800 cuin (international standard) or more. 

Measuring the fill power of down and feather filling

This fabric is water-repellent. Water repellency keeps the fabric lightweight and warm. It is recommended to wear a waterproof jacket over top in the rain. Treatment on the outer surface achieves water repellency, but the treatment can deteriorate with use. We recommend restoring it after each wash.

Water repellency (different from waterproofing)

This washable down jacket can be worn all winter. But the less you wash it, the longer its thermal insulation and water repellency will last.
Care instructions: 
1. Machine wash at 30°C with detergent specially formulated for down or technical garments. Use a gentle spin cycle. 
2. Tumble dry with 2 or 3 tennis balls; repeat 2 or 3 times until completely dry.

How to care for down jackets

After washing, we recommend using a water-repellent spray to prevent water absorption. This renews water-repellent properties and improves performance throughout the garment’s life cycle.

Restoring water repellency

Snags are common during hikes. The good news is that it can be repaired to prevent further tearing and to stop feathers from escaping. Need help repairing? Don’t worry! Some Decathlon workshops offer in-store repairs and can repair your jacket using an iron-on patch.

Snow

The choice of size depends on the type of boots you wish to use. Whether you’re wearing casual shoes, high-top hiking boots or snow boots, all footwear requires a crampon size that is specifically fitted to maintain optimal support.
The product must fit perfectly to prevent it from coming off.See the photo cross-referenced table or use our “How to choose your size” guide. Available from S to XL.


Choosing your size

The personal protective equipment (PPE) certification ensures that the products comply with harmonized standards.

Note: not suitable for walking on glaciers or in steep, snow-covered couloirs, which strictly requires mountaineering crampons.

PPE certification

For improved balance, we strongly advise using a pair of hiking poles. On snowy terrain, be sure to have large baskets to prevent them from sinking into the snow.

What about poles?

Always follow the front/back direction shown on the product.

The warm, insulated lining effectively protects from the cold in temperatures as low as -31°C. Lab and field tested with hikers. We approved the comfort temperature both at rest and while walking, as this can vary significantly: -8°C when stationary and -17°C when moving. We also considered how different people feel the cold differently.

Are these boots warm enough for winter hikes?

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.
The seams that join the inner shoe and the upper are not waterproof. In very deep snow, over time water can get in through the seams resulting in wet feet.

How do these boots protect from outdoor conditions?

Traction depends on the number and shape of the lugs. 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).

What is the difference between traction and grip?

The Snow Contact soles are designed for maximum comfort and grip for hiking on snow. The 3.5 mm (0.14“) lugs are spaced strategically for optimal grip when hiking on snow. They provide optimal grip on hard snow and evacuate excess water to prevent you from slipping.

How much grip and traction does this boot provide?

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 crampons to your boots is the only way to ensure optimum safety.

What are the advantages of Snow Contact technology?

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, abrasion resistance of outsole and upper components, and accelerated aging.

Will my boots withstand regular use over the long term?

To stay warm when hiking in the winter, we recommend the following principles: 
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 do I choose the right footwear for hiking in the snow?

Water repellency is a fabric’s capacity to make water run off its surface without being absorbed. The fabric does not soak up water and stays light, breathable, and warm. 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 preserve the technical qualities of the boots

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 the newspaper regularly. The paper will absorb the moisture and dry them faster.
Never place your boots too close to a heat source. Leave them in a warm, dry, and ventilated place.
