What size should you choose?
We advise you to try several sizes and boot styles to find what suits you best. You can go one size larger than your usual size to prevent your toes from hitting the toe area when descending, provided your foot is properly supported to avoid rubbing.
How to try on the boots?
1. Try on both boots while standing, with the socks you wear for hiking.2. Tighten the laces, distributing the tension evenly.3. Check two aspects:
- that your heel does not lift inside the boot when walking on a slope
- that your foot does not slip; and also that your toes do not hit the front when descending.
What is the difference between traction and grip?
Traction optimizes propulsion, prevents the boot from slipping backward, and stabilizes it. It depends on the number and shape of the boot's lugs. Grip prevents the boot from slipping and sliding on smooth terrain or in difficult conditions.
How to care for your boots
1. Let your boots air dry.2. Remove dry mud with a stiff brush.3. Clean stains with a brush and a little warm water and let them dry.4. Use a re-waterproofing spray to restore water resistance to the upper.
Replace insoles
The original insole of your boots is designed to fit most feet. A change of insole can provide:
- Better support (pre-formed or reinforced insoles)
- More comfort (warmth and/or cushioning)
- Longer boot life.
