Our designers created these boots that are perfect for your regular hikes on packed snow.These extra-warm boots are easy to put on thanks to their wide opening and rip-tab adjustment. This gives improved support and anti-snow ingress for better thermal protection.\u003ch3\u003eCan I be sure that my boots are warm enough for my winter hikes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe chose a warm lining that has insulation to give you effective protection from the cold.\n\nWe tested it in the laboratory and in the field with our user representatives. We checked the temperature down to which it stays comfortable when you're stationary and when you're walking, as this varies a lot: -6°C when static and -14°C when moving. We also took into account how temperature is felt differently by men and women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do your boots protect you from outdoor conditions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour boots are designed with a membrane to guarantee waterproofing and breathability. A membrane is a very fine component (5 to 25 micrometres) affixed to the inside of a fabric that prevents water from entering while allowing moisture to escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow can I be sure that my boots are 100% waterproof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe 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 to 4000 flexes, which is equivalent to 8 km of walking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between traction and grip?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe boots’ traction depends on the number and shape of the studs. The grip is dependent on the materials 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.\nGrip prevents the boot from slipping and skidding on smooth ground or in demanding conditions (rain, snow, ice) by giving the sole grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill my boots withstand regular use over the long term?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur engineers conduct laboratory tests to ensure that the product fully complies with your satisfaction in use. Our verifications include the following elements: tearing eyelets and straps, gluing, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion resistance of outsole and upper components, accelerated ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I choose the right footwear for snow hiking?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo gear up in the winter, we recommend you follow the following principles : Warmth: provide warmth thanks to the warm socks. (ideally with a suitable percentage of wool)\nBreathability: Choose the sock according to the intensity of the hike and make sure you wear a breathable model to minimise moisture.\nBoot height: adapt the height of the sock to the height of the upper and preferably choose high models if you want more protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to preserve the technical qualities of my boots?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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) for this purpose are available in our stores.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does my product warranty work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is guaranteed for 2 years from the date shown on the sales receipt. A product covered by the warranty will be exchanged free of charge. The warranty covers product defects, excluding those resulting from normal wear and tear and improper use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quechua","offers":[{"title":"BLACK \/ UK 3 EU36","offer_id":43104144654432,"sku":"ZGVJY 312022","price":24.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK \/ UK 4 EU37","offer_id":43104144687200,"sku":"ZGVJY 312022-2","price":24.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK \/ UK 5 EU38","offer_id":43104144719968,"sku":"ZGVJY 312022-3","price":24.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK \/ UK 5.5 EU39","offer_id":43104144752736,"sku":"ZGVJY 312022-4","price":24.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK \/ UK 6.5 EU40","offer_id":43104144785504,"sku":"ZGVJY 312022-5","price":24.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK \/ UK 7 EU41","offer_id":43104144818272,"sku":"ZGVJY 312022-6","price":24.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK \/ UK 8 EU42","offer_id":43104144851040,"sku":"ZGVJY 312022-7","price":24.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/8118\/9984\/files\/k_a6e901500fc9de305b9f443deb8e7558.jpg?v=1787834647","url":"https:\/\/quechuasports.com\/products\/quechua-womens-warm-waterproof-snow-hiking-boots-sh100-x-warm-rip","provider":"Quechua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
