Waterproof hiking shoes - NH100 Mid WP - Women

Our hiking designers have designed these NH100 Mid WP waterproof shoes for your occasional hikes in the plains or in the forest, in rainy weather.

How do the soles of the NH100 MID WP F hiking shoes grip on hiking trails?

Designed in our laboratories, we use a specific rubber formulation to optimize the grip and adhesion of this sole. We systematically look for the best compromise to evolve on soft ground (grip) as well as on dry ground (grip).

Designed for hiking use

Our hiking shoes are designed for use on hiking trails. In fact, we choose and test the components of the sole and the upper of our shoes to best adapt to the practice of hiking on soft paths (such as a dirt forest path) or mineral paths (such as a rocky coastal path). Use on the road (asphalt) may accelerate the wear of your shoes and cause you discomfort. They are not suitable for mountain hiking.

Waterproof test

Tested in the laboratory and in use, shoes equipped with a membrane ensure optimal waterproofing and breathability. First immersed in water under air pressure, we check the absence of bubbles on the surface of the shoe. The shoes are then half submerged and placed on a mechanical arm simulating walking to check that the inside of the shoe remains perfectly dry.

Impermeability measurement

The NH100 Mid WP shoes are waterproof for 2 hours of hiking. They have been tested for 2000 flexes in the laboratory. Once the shoes are dry, they regain their original waterproofness. During the waterproofing test, we test three levels of waterproofing: - 2000 flexes, approximately 2 hours of hiking - 4000 flexes, approximately 4 hours of hiking - 8000 flexes, approximately 8 hours of hiking

How is the resistance of the NH100 MID WP F hiking shoe determined?

Laboratory tests are also conducted to validate the following elements: tearing of eyelets and straps, gluing, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion of the sole and upper components, accelerated aging. These tests allow us to improve the quality of our products and prevent premature wear of our hiking shoes.

Extend the life of your shoes

We advise you to use a re-waterproofing spray several times a year which will allow you to find the original water repellency and fight against external stains.

Which pair of socks are suitable for Quechua NH100 MID waterproof shoes?

These shoes offer some breathability but not enough to wick away all the moisture from your sweat. We therefore advise you to favor Hike 100 Mid socks: they contain cotton which absorbs moisture and they have a terry construction which draws moisture away from your foot. They are also high enough to protect your ankle from the shoe. It is an excellent combination to limit the appearance of blisters.

Our environmental vision

Because we understand that we must act to preserve our playground, Quechua is committed to limiting the environmental impact of its products. This product is not currently eco-designed, but we work every day to make it more responsible: eco-design, repairability, and durability are at the heart of our developments.
