Our hiking designers have designed these NH100 Mid waterproof boots for your occasional hikes on flat terrain in rainy weather.
Durable sole for hiking trails
The sole design is the result of extensive research carried out in our laboratories. It is made of a specific rubber compound that optimizes grip and traction. We are systematically looking for the best compromise for walking on soft trails (e.g., forest paths) and rocky trails (e.g., coastal paths). When used on roads, this can lead to premature wear of your boots and cause discomfort. They are not suitable for mountain hiking.
How to choose the size of my hiking boots?
Try on both shoes, standing, with the socks you wear for outdoor hiking. Try several models or sizes if necessary. Check two points of comfort:
Check two points of comfort:
- heel position
- forefoot on a downward slope
Avoid any pressure points during fitting. Feel free to walk around to test comfort and support. Gradually start using the shoes during the first few hikes to break them in better.
What socks should you wear with Quechua NH100 MID waterproof shoes?
These shoes are somewhat ventilated, but not enough to wick away all the moisture created by your perspiration. We advise you to choose Hike 100 Mid socks: They contain moisture-wicking cotton and have a reverse silk knitted construction under the sock that wicks moisture away from your foot. They are also high enough to protect your ankle from the shoes. It's an excellent combination to reduce the chance of blisters.
An improved product thanks to your feedback!
Thanks to your feedback, we have improved the concept and design of the NH100 Mid WP waterproof shoes. For this new model, we have added an EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) midsole to improve your comfort while walking by limiting the sensation of stones underfoot.
Tested for optimal durability
Laboratory tests were carried out to test the following elements: tearing of eyelets and straps, adhesion, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion resistance of the outsole and uppers, accelerated aging. These tests allow us to improve the quality of our products and prevent premature wear of our mountain hiking shoes.
Waterproof boots for 2 hours of walking in rainy weather
NH100 WP boots are tested for 2000 flexes in the laboratory. So, they are waterproof for 2 hours of outdoor hiking. During the waterproofing test, we test 3 levels of waterproofing: - 2000 flexes, about 2 hours of outdoor hiking
- 4000 flexes, about 4 hours of outdoor hiking
- 8000 flexes, about 8 hours of outdoor hiking
We recommend using a re-waterproofing spray several times a year, which allows you to regain the original ability to protect against water and limit stains.
How do we test the waterproofing of your shoes?
Tested in the laboratory and in the field, these shoes have a membrane to ensure optimal waterproofing and breathability. First, the shoe is immersed in water while internal air pressure is applied to check that no bubbles form on the surface of the shoe. Then, the shoes are placed on a mechanical arm that simulates walking and immersed halfway in water, so that we can test that the interior remains completely dry.
Our motivation? To offer you waterproof and comfortable boots that guarantee good grip on all low-slope hiking trails. All at an affordable price!
