Design details

How often do you hike and at what intensity?
Our products are classified based on performance and features for 3 levels: - Occasional: around 10 hikes a year of about 3-4 hours, less than 10 km (6 mi) and less than 700 m (2,296 ft.) of elevation gain. - Regular: about 20 outings a year of about 4-6 hours, 10 to 20 km (6 to 12 miles), and 700 to 1,200 m (2,296 to 3,937 ft.) of elevation gain. - Intensive: more than 20 times a year, more than 6 hours, more than 20 km (12 miles), and 1,200 to 2,000 m (3,937 to 6,562 ft.) of elevation gain.
Sole: Outdoor contact
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.
Waterproofing test
In a lab, the boot 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 boot can go and stay dry. The results are validated in the field and in the rain to ensure consistency.
Extending waterproof performance
To keep your feet dry, we suggest you wear waterproof gaiters or mini-gaiters to protect the top of your shoes and prevent water from getting in, along with stones and sand. We recommend you re-waterproof your shoes twice a year using a waterproofing agent (search for “waterproofing” on www.decathlon.ca), which will help you restore the original water-repellent properties and help prevent stains on the outside.
Product design: our outdoor experts
Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont Blanc in France. This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams and outdoor sports enthusiast. It’s the perfect spot for designing our mountain hiking products.
What size should I choose?
Certain Decathlon stores have a test trail. 1. Try on both shoes, standing up, wearing your hiking socks. 2. Tighten the laces, making sure they’re evenly tightened. 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.
Tips
Certains magasins Décathlon sont équipés d’un parcours test. 1. Essayez les deux chaussures debout avec vos chaussettes. 2. Serrez les lacets en prenant soin de bien répartir le serrage. 3. Vérifiez deux points : - le talon ne décolle pas avant la chaussure quand vous marchez en montée. - le pied ne glisse pas et les orteils ne butent pas à l’avant en descente. 4. Essayez plusieurs tailles et modèles. Utilisez-les progressivement pour y habituer vos pieds.
How to avoid blisters
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.
Which socks?
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.
Optimize your shoe Replace your insoles.
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: restore the support and comfort of your shoes by replacing the insole each season.
How to care for your shoes
- 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.
