Main Material

With a limit temperature up to -29°C, they keep your feet warm at -6°C when standing still and -15°C when moving. This gives you an accurate measure of the temperature at which these boots protect you. We take into account that people perceive the cold differently.

Are my boots warm enough for winter hikes?

A membrane ensures optimal water resistance. A membrane is a very fine component (between 5 and 25 micrometres) affixed to the inside of a fabric that keeps water out while letting moisture escape. These boots keep your feet both warm and dry. The outer and mid-sole insulate from contact with snow.

How do my boots protect me from outdoor conditions?

Thermal comfort is a balance between warmth and breathability. Too much heat or not enough breathability lets moisture accumulate and cold set in. Designed with your activities in mind, this membrane prevents water infiltration on one side and lets moisture escape on the other.

Breathable boots for optimal thermal comfort

We made sure that your boots are waterproof by conducting laboratory tests that simulate walking with the boots half-submerged in water. We also conducted field tests to measure wear and aging. 

Are my boots 100% waterproof?

The boot’s 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 provide maximum grip comfort for hiking and traction on snow. The strategic spacing and height of the lugs (4 mm/0.12”) offers optimal grip when hiking in snow. The lugs are designed to grip hard snow and evacuate excess water to avoid 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 anti-slip 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.    

Will these boots withstand regular use in the long term?

To stay warm when hiking in the winter, we recommend the following: 
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?

A fabric is water-repellent when water slides off the surface without being absorbed. The fabric does not soak up water and remains lightweight, breathable, and warm. Water repellency is obtained by a treatment applied to the outer surface of the shoe. 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

Leather is ultra-comfortable, durable, and flexible. 
This material is waterproof and naturally breathable. 
Warm in the winter and cool in the mid-season, leather naturally regulates the temperature inside the boots.
Clean your boots with a soft brush to extend their life.  You can grease them with special products, but this may darken the colour of the leather.

Why choose a leather winter hiking boot?

Condensation and perspiration can make boots heavy 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 dry them faster.
Never place your shoes too close to a heat source. Leave them in a warm, dry, and ventilated place.
