More than 6 hours, morethan 20 km, 1200 to 2000m of elevation gain per outing. ; SOLE WITH GRIP: Thegrip of our soles is certified. To be awarded certification, the boots mustpass laboratory tests to assess the grip rate on different surfaces (Smooth,Rugged, Dry, Wet). To validate these tests, we assess the quality of our solesin the field, in the mountains, by a panel of representative testers over 500km ; Waterproofing test: In a laboratory, the shoe is immersed in water tomid-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 walkwhile staying dry. Then we confirm in the field or under the rain, that theshoe meets its promises. ; Making waterproofing last longer: To keep your feetdry, we advise you to use a waterproof gaiter or mini-gaiter to protect thetop of your boots and prevent water, pebbles and sand from getting in. Weadvise re-waterproofing your boots twice a year using a re-waterproofing agent(search for 'waterproofing' on our Decathlon website) which will help yourestore the original water-repellent qualities and help prevent stains on theoutside. ; Which size should I select?: The most important thing is to try onseveral sizes and styles of boots to find the one most suited to you! You cantake a size above your usual one to prevent the toes from bumping into the toebox when going downhill, provided the foot is properly supported to avoidfriction. Tip: keep your toenails short and, before a long descent, check thatyour lacing is tight enough to prevent your foot from sliding forwards insidethe boot.
