EU 46 Men's Warm waterproof high snow boots - SH100 U-WARM, Black

Can I be sure that my boots are warm enough for my winter hikes?

We chose a warm lining that has insulation to give you efficient protection from the cold.We tested it in the lab and in the field with representative users. We checked to see down to what temperature they remain comfortable when you're not moving and when you walk, as it varies a lot -13?�C when static and -22?�C on the move. And we took into account the different ways women and men feel the cold.,

How do my boots protect me from outdoor conditions?

Your boots were designed with a to make them waterproof and breathable. A is a very fine component (5 to 25 micrometres) on the inside of a fabric that prevents water from entering while enabling moisture to escape.,

How can I be sure my boots are 100% waterproof?

We made sure that your boots are waterproof by conducting laboratory tests to simulate walking with the boots half-submerged in water. We also conducted field tests to measure wear and ageing. During the waterproofing test, we test 3 levels of waterproofing 2000 flexes (approx. 4 km walk), 4000 flexes (approx. 8 km walk) and 8000 flexes (approx. 16 km walk). Your boots were tested at 4000 flexes, which is equivalent to 8 km of walking.,

What is the difference between traction and grip?

The traction of the boots depends on the number and shape of the studs. The grip depends on the of the sole and the tread pattern, like the tyres of your car. Traction optimises propulsion, prevents the boot from slipping backwards when going uphill and stabilises the boot.Grip prevents the boot from slipping and skidding on smooth ground or in demanding conditions (rain, snow, ice) by giving grip to the sole.,

How to preserve the technical qualities of my boots?

A fabric's water repellent property is its capacity to make water run off its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, warm and breathable. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the garment. Products (spray or liquid) designed specifically for this purpose are available in our stores.,
