We have categorized our products in terms of performance and features to suit 3 levels of Mountain Hiking practice: - Occasional: around ten hikes per year of around 3 to 4 hours duration, less than 10km and less than 700m of elevation gain. - Regular: around twenty outings per year. 4 to 6 hours, 10 to 20 km, 700 to 1200m of elevation gain per outing. - Intensive: more than 20 outings per year. More than 6 hours, more than 20 km, 1200 to 2000m of elevation gain per outing.
The grip of our soles is labeled. To benefit from it, the shoe must pass laboratory tests to evaluate the grip coefficient on different surfaces (Smooth, Rough, Dry, Wet). To validate these tests, we have the quality of our soles evaluated in the field, in the mountains, by a panel of representative testers over 500 km.
In the laboratory, the shoe is placed in water up to mid-shaft on a mechanical arm generating flexions of the shoe to simulate a number of steps. Thanks to this test we can determine a time and a number of km that the shoe can achieve while staying dry. Then we validate on the ground and in the rain that the shoe keeps its promises in use.
To keep your feet dry, it is advisable to use a waterproof gaiter or mini-gaiter which will protect the top of the shoe from water ingress, but also from stones, sand, etc. We advise you to re-waterproof your shoes twice a year using a waterproofing agent (search for "waterproofing agent" on our Decathlon website) which will restore the original water repellency and combat external stains.
This shoe is equipped with the EVOFIT concept. The EVOFIT technology with its stretchy materials and its specific design on the articular area of the foot, allows the shoe to perfectly fit the shape of your foot.
Our Quechua global design center is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont Blanc in Haute-Savoie. This location makes it a true meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers, etc.) and outdoor sports enthusiasts. A great asset for designing your mountain hiking products and bringing you our expertise.
The most important thing is to try on several sizes and models of shoes to find the one that best suits you! You can go up a size from your usual size to prevent your toes from hitting the stop when going downhill, provided your foot is held well to avoid friction. Tip: keep your toenails short and check before any long descent that your lacing is tight to prevent your foot from sliding towards the front of the shoe.
Some Decathlon stores are equipped with a test course. 1. Try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks you use for hiking. 2. Tighten the laces, taking care to evenly distribute the tightening. 3. Check two points: - the heel does not lift before the shoe when walking uphill. - the foot does not slip and the toes do not hit the front when going downhill. 4. Try on several sizes and models. Use them gradually to break them in to your feet.
A waterproof shoe will be less breathable than a non-waterproof shoe. Socks like the MH500, with a medium upper, are therefore to be preferred to evacuate perspiration and to limit friction.
The original insole in your shoes is designed to fit as many feet as possible. Changing the insole can provide: 1. Better support: Some insoles are pre-shaped or reinforced to better support the arch of the foot. 2. More comfort: Insoles can also provide warmth and/or cushioning. 3. Longer life: Restore the support and comfort of your shoes by replacing the insole each season.
Blisters generally appear when our skin is weakened by friction. To limit their appearance, we advise you to: - Choose a shoe that fits you (consult the size guide) - Wear suitable socks - Lace and tighten your shoes appropriately - Wear your shoes for a short outing when using them for the first time
- Let air dry. - Remove dry mud with a fairly stiff brush. - For stains, clean with a brush and a little warm water. - Let dry. - Spray a re-waterproofing spray to restore water repellency to the upper.

Perfect for short hikes
One pair for hiking and one for the garden. I put them in crummy, earth, water, fields, manure etc. and it lasts more than a year! I change the hikes for new ones and put the old hikes in the garden for 1 more year! The only downside is that the sole is too hard and therefore slippery, at least it doesn't wear out!! And the earth remains encrusted in the crampons, a hassle to clean if you don't have the means to tap the soles to loosen the clumps.
good value for money
