Should I go up a size?

Yes. They run small, so we recommend the next size up. This leaves room for your foot to swell during activity and for a hiking sock.

Are they suitable for wide feet?

They have a close fit: if you have wide feet, choose the next size up.

Are they really waterproof?

Yes: the ULTRASHELL® membrane is waterproof to 10,000 mm (Schmerber) and breathable. It protects against rain and wet ground but is not designed for immersion.

Do they need breaking in?

They feel a little stiff at first, but a few outings are enough to soften them up.

Stitching, assembly and finishing are carried out in Vietnam.

How should I care for these shoes?

Clean them by hand with lukewarm water and a soft brush. Do not machine-wash or tumble-dry them; leave them to air-dry away from direct heat. To restore water repellency, use NIKWAX Fabric & Leather Proof.

What are the delivery times for this product?

All orders placed by midnight are prepared the next day. In France, orders placed before 1 pm (excluding weekends) with Chronopost 24h are dispatched the same day. Delivery then depends on the carrier and takes 1 to 4 days in France. Delivery times for Europe and the rest of the world vary by destination.

Can I return the item if the size doesn't fit?

Yes, absolutely. You have 30 days to return it and get a refund or an exchange. Return shipping is free. The item must be new, unworn, unwashed, and have its original tag.

The high-cut boot that keeps water out

In the mountains, conditions can change without warning. Waterlogged trails, scree slopes, temperature swings. When your boots weigh you down or let moisture in, you slow down and use up energy.

This mid-cut boot is designed to let you move freely. Its membrane is waterproof and breathable, its RipStop upper resists abrasion, and its grip stays reliable on dry and wet terrain. Light and responsive, it supports every stride with a stable footing from start to finish.

Because when hiking, freedom of movement starts underfoot.

- Laboratory-tested RipStop fabric: withstands a tear force of 8.7 kg and 300'000 flex cycles without signs of weakness.

- Material: Vibram® XS-TREK rubber,
- Stack height: 17 mm, drop: 6 mm,

Grip/Traction

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers especially appreciate their comfort, light weight and reliable grip: several compare them to slippers, while the sole feels reassuring on technical, wet or muddy trails. Many wear them for hiking, including long treks or a 13 km outing without pain or blisters. Breathable and flexible, they remain pleasant in hot weather, with good support for the foot and ankles. Their balance between lightness and rigidity is a real strength, and several customers have already bought a second pair. They are particularly well suited to summer hiking and varied terrain.

Excellent hiking/trekking boots. They mould to the foot (I took one size up as recommended). The most comfortable mountain boots I've worn. You can tell they weigh very little.

Hello. What motivated my choice to buy this shoe model was the attractive price for a very good quality product, with soles that offer excellent cushioning and superb grip. I found it easier to adapt this pair of high-top shoes to my foot compared to the low-top version of the same model. This is because you have to loosen the lower part of the laces as much as possible so that your foot isn't compressed while still being supported, and tighten the upper part of the shoe sufficiently for a good fit. With low-top shoes, this compromise is difficult; my foot is a little too narrow, and it's not always very comfortable, especially when walking for long periods.

Received last week, and already 25km on the clock. No chafing, comfortable, flexible, good grip. My foot is 26.5cm, I ordered a size 43. My previous pair, the low-cut version, lasted 2 years with intensive, almost daily use.

The shoes match the description. The pleasant surprise was the very fast delivery; the package included two pairs of insoles, one for summer and the other for winter. They are very comfortable to wear because they are very lightweight and provide good support. Just one small point to consider is the sizing, as I ordered a size 44 when I'm usually a 43.5, and I think someone who actually wears a size 44 might find them a bit snug. Personally, I'm very satisfied after the first five uses.
