Do you love exploring the mountains on occasional hikes? This waterproof boot supports your hiking adventures, even in rainy weather.

The high-rise upper of these hiking boots supports your foot and ankleEnjoy the scenery with this grippy sole, stone guard and full-length cushioning, providing all the reassurance you need on trails.

Our products are ranked according to three levels of practice.
1. Occasional use: 10 hikes per year of about a 3-4 hour duration, covering less than 10 km and less than 700 m in elevation gain.
2. Regular: 20 outings of a 4-6 hour duration, 10 to 20 km, 700 to 1,200 m in elevation gain
3. Intensive: more than 20 outings of more than a 6 hour duration, more than 20 km, 1,200 to 2,000 m of elevation gain.

We advise you to try on several sizes and styles of boots to find the one best suited to you. You can take a size above your usual one to prevent the toes from bumping into the toe box when going downhill, provided the foot is properly supported to avoid friction.

1. Try on both boots, while standing up, with the socks worn for hiking.
2. Tighten the laces, distributing the tension evenly.
3. Check two aspects:
- that your heel doesn’t lift up before the boot when walking on an incline
- that your foot doesn’t slip; and also that your toes don’t hit the front on the downhill.

The increased grip and resistance of this high-performance sole are due to an exclusive rubber blend. The design of the sole is what strengthens the grip. Our laboratory tests evaluate the grip coefficient on various surfaces/conditions, while our field tests in the mountains confirm it.

Traction optimises propulsion, prevents the boot from slipping backwards and stabilises it. It depends on the number and shape of the boot crampons.
Grip prevents the boot from slipping and skidding on smooth ground or in demanding conditions.

We advise you to re-waterproof your boots twice a year, using a waterproofing product (available on our website/in Decathlon shops) for continued protection against water. You can use waterproof gaiters to prevent the infiltration of water from the top of the boot.

1. Leave your boots to air dry.
2. Remove dry mud with a stiff brush.
3. Clean stains with a brush and some warm water and leave to dry.
4. Use a re-waterproofing spray to restore water-repellency on the upper.

The original insole in your boots is designed to accommodate most feet. A change of insole can offer:
- Better support (preformed or reinforced soles)
- More comfort (warmth and/or cushioning)
- A longer boot lifespan.
