Essential for enjoying the mountains in any weather.These hiking shoes have all you need for taking on the mountains. Grippy soles, a waterproof upper, stone guard and full-length cushioning all combine to result in a great shoe for your walks.\u003ch3\u003eWHAT IS YOUR HIKING FREQUENCY AND INTENSITY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have classified our products in terms of performance and features for 3 levels of Mountain Walking:\n- occasional: about 10 hikes per year of about 3 to 4 hours in length, covering less than 10km and less than 700m in elevation gain.\n- Regular: about 20 outings per year. 4 to 6 hours, 10 to 20 km, 700 to 1200m of elevation gain per outing.\n- Intensive: more than 20 times a year. More than 6 hours, more than 20 km, 1200 to 2000m of elevation gain per outing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the fabric on the cuff lining and on the inner sole coating of these shoes, we dye the thread during manufacturing to reduce the environmental impact. Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce this environmental impact, we use a mass pigmentation process that involves adding the colour pigments when the yarn itself is produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSOLE WITH GRIP\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grip of our soles is certified. To be awarded certification, the boots must pass laboratory tests to assess the grip rate on different surfaces (Smooth, Rugged, Dry, Wet). To validate these tests, we assess the quality of our soles in the field, in the mountains, by a panel of representative testers over 500 km\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWaterproofing test\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a laboratory, the boot is immersed in water to mid-height on a mechanical arm that flexes to simulates a number of steps. With this test we can determine a time and number of km that the boot can walk while staying dry. Then we confirm in the field or under the rain, that the shoe meets its promises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaking waterproofing last longer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo keep your feet dry, we advise you to use a waterproof gaiter or mini-gaiter to protect the top of your boots and prevent water, pebbles and sand from getting in.\n\nWe advise re-waterproofing your boots twice a year using a re-waterproofing agent (search for ‘waterproofing’ on our Decathlon website) which will help you restore the original water-repellent qualities and help prevent stains on the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich size should I select?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most important thing is to try on several sizes and styles of boots to find the one most suited to you!\nYou 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.\nTip: keep your toenails short and, before a long descent, check that your lacing is tight enough to prevent your foot from sliding forwards inside the boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBUYING TIPS \/ HOW DO YOU TRY YOUR BOOTS ON?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome Decathlon stores have a test route.\n\n1. Try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks worn for hiking.\n2. Tighten the laces, taking care to correctly balance the tightening.\n3. Check two points:\n- the heel does not come up before the boot when you walk uphill.\n- the foot does not slide and the toes do not press against the front when going downhill.\n4. Try on several sizes and models.\n\nBreak them in gradually to adapt them to your foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHOW DO YOU AVOID BLISTERS?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover all our tips here:\nhttps:\/\/conseilsport.decathlon.fr\/conseils\/9-astuces-pour-eviter-les-ampoules-tp_10725\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich socks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA waterproof shoe will be less breathable than a non-waterproof shoe. Socks like the MH500 with a medium-length upper are therefore better for wicking away perspiration and reducing friction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOptimise the capabilities of your boots: replace your insoles!\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original insole in your boots is designed to accommodate most feet. A change of insole can bring:\n1. Improved support: some soles are preformed or reinforced to better support the arch of the foot.\n2. More comfort: the insoles can also provide heat and\/or cushioning.\n3. Longer life: restore the support and comfort of your shoes by replacing the insole each season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow should you look after your boots?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Leave to air dry.\n- Remove dry mud with a stiff brush.\n- Clean marks using a brush and some warm water\n- Leave to dry\n- Spray with a re-waterproofing product to restore the water-resistance to the upper.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quechua","offers":[{"title":"Dark petrol blue \/ Lime green \/ UK 5.5 - EU 39","offer_id":43104237846624,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark petrol blue \/ Lime green \/ UK 6.5 - EU 40","offer_id":43104237879392,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-2","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark petrol blue \/ Lime green \/ UK 7 - EU 41","offer_id":43104237912160,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-3","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark petrol blue \/ Lime green \/ UK 8 - EU 42","offer_id":43104237944928,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-4","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark petrol blue \/ Lime green \/ UK 8.5 - EU 43","offer_id":43104237977696,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-5","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark petrol blue \/ Lime green \/ UK 9.5 - EU 44","offer_id":43104238010464,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-6","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark petrol blue \/ Lime green \/ UK 10.5 - EU 45","offer_id":43104238043232,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-7","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark petrol blue \/ Lime green \/ UK 11 - EU 46","offer_id":43104238076000,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-8","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark petrol blue \/ Lime green \/ UK 12 - EU 47","offer_id":43104238108768,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-9","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carbon grey \/ Cherry red \/ UK 5.5 - EU 39","offer_id":43104238141536,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-10","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carbon grey \/ Cherry red \/ UK 6.5 - EU 40","offer_id":43104238174304,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-11","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carbon grey \/ Cherry red \/ UK 7 - EU 41","offer_id":43104238207072,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-12","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carbon grey \/ Cherry red \/ UK 8 - EU 42","offer_id":43104238239840,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-13","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carbon grey \/ Cherry red \/ UK 8.5 - EU 43","offer_id":43104238272608,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-14","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carbon grey \/ Cherry red \/ UK 9.5 - EU 44","offer_id":43104238305376,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-15","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carbon grey \/ Cherry red \/ UK 10.5 - EU 45","offer_id":43104238338144,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-16","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carbon grey \/ Cherry red \/ UK 11 - EU 46","offer_id":43104238370912,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-17","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carbon grey \/ Cherry red \/ UK 12 - EU 47","offer_id":43104238403680,"sku":"ZGVJY 302231-18","price":31.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/8118\/9984\/files\/k_4f6316f2a16a0be90efe1edd6b13382f_4dea9712-0210-414a-a36b-11c53cd990fe.jpg?v=1787833505","url":"https:\/\/quechuasports.com\/products\/quechua-men-s-waterproof-mountain-walking-shoes-mh100","provider":"Quechua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
