The mid upper gives you greater protection as well as comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWaterproofing test\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a laboratory, the shoe 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\u003ch4\u003eOutdoor Contact sole\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew high-performance sole with our new exclusive rubber blend developed by our experts. More grippy, more durable. The sole is designed for better grip using 3D simulations and then laboratory tested to assess the coefficient of grip on different surfaces and conditions. Field tests in the mountains allow us to do the final validation with a panel of testers.\n30% rubber\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhich size should I select?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome Decathlon stores have a test route.\n\n  1. Try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks worn for hiking. 2. Tighten the laces, taking care to correctly balance the tightening.\n3. Check two points:\n- the heel does not come up before the shoe 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\u003ch4\u003eHow to prevent blisters\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlisters generally develop when the skin is weakened by friction. In order to prevent them from occurring, we recommend the following:\n- Choose a shoe in your size.\n- Wear suitable socks\n- Tie and tighten your shoes properly.\n- Make sure you tighten or loosen your laces accordingly while wearing your shoes, especially before starting a climb or a descent.\n\n- Wear your shoes on a short trip for the first use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOptimise the capabilities of your shoes by replacing your insoles\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original insole in your shoes is designed to accommodate most feet. A change of insole can bring:\n\n  1. Improved support: some soles are preformed or reinforced to better support the arch of the foot. 2. 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\u003ch4\u003eWhich socks?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA waterproof shoe will be less breathable than a non-waterproof shoe. Mid-length socks like the MH500, MH520 and MH900 are therefore preferable for absorbing perspiration and reducing overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct design: our expertise\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie.
