Which size should I choose?
We advise you to try several sizes and styles of boots to find the one that suits you best. You can take a size larger than your usual one to prevent your toes from bumping into the toe box when going downhill, provided that your foot is properly supported to avoid friction.
How to try on 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 you walk on a slope - that your foot does not slip; and also that your toes do not hit the front when going downhill.
Replace insoles
The original insole of your boots is designed to fit most feet. Changing the insole can provide: - Better support (pre-formed or reinforced insoles) - More comfort (warmth and/or cushioning) - Longer boot lifespan.

How should you care for your shoes?
1. Let your boots air dry. 2. Remove dry mud with a stiff brush. 3. Clean stains with a brush and some warm water and leave to dry. 4. Use a re-waterproofing spray to restore water resistance to the upper.
What is the difference between traction and grip?
