Will these boots be warm enough for your child’s winter hikes?

We carry out comparative studies in a thermal laboratory in walking conditions in low wind (5km/h). This is how we measure the thermal resistance of our boots. However every individual feels the cold differently.
Comfort temperature: felt slightly cold & 70% of users find the thermal sensation acceptable on their feet.
Limit temperature: felt very cold & 10% of users consider the thermal sensation acceptable on their feet.

How can I be sure that my boots are 100% waterproof?

Your boots are designed with a membrane to guarantee waterproofing and breathability. A membrane is a very thin component applied to the inner surface of the fabric that prevents water from entering while allowing moisture to escape.
We tested this product in a laboratory simulating walking with the feet half immersed.
This model of shoe has been tested for up to 8,000 flexes, which is equivalent to 16 km of walking.

SNOWCONTACT technology

SNOWCONTACT soles are made with a specific component and stud pattern that is designed to ensure the best possible grip and traction. SNOWCONTACT soles are more effective than traditional soles on snow. When walking on ice, the only way to ensure optimum safety is to add anti-slip grips to your boots.

How do I choose the right footwear for snow hiking?

To gear up in the winter, we recommend you follow the following principles :
Warmth: warmth provided by a warm pair of socks (ideally containing a suitable percentage of wool)
Breathability: Choose the sock according to the intensity of the hike and make sure you wear a breathable model to minimise moisture.
Boot height: adapt the height of the sock to the height of the upper and preferably choose high models if you want more protection.

How to preserve the technical qualities of my boots?

A fabric's water repellent property is its capacity to make water run off its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, warm and breathable. The water repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric's exterior. This treatment needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the garment. Products (spray or liquid) for this purpose are available in our stores.

Our tips on use and care

The boot can accumulate moisture (sweat, condensation). If there is a lot of moisture, remove the insole, stuff it with newspaper and change the paper regularly to speed up the drying process. Avoid any direct sources of heat; Leave to dry in a warm, dry, well-ventilated place.

Is the tightening different depending on the size, like on other models?

No, the type of tightening remains the same for all sizes (UK Jnr sizes 7-5).

Approved by

To meet your requirements, Quechua products are tested in the mountains in conditions you will encounter during your hikes.
Our field test engineer, our product manager, as well as a panel of testers test the products throughout their development until they are marketed.

Storage advice

Store your products in a well-ventilated room away from light and moisture.

Test

Our Decathlon Sportslab laboratory, based in Lille, also contributes to the innovation and development of our Quechua products. It brings together 4 themes, each with their own area and technological tools:
Body shape (in particular from 3D analysis)
Movement science
Thermal comfort (with its four climatic chambers)
Behavioural and sensory sciences
In particular, we test the holding of seams, gluing, toxicology, resistance to UV and abrasion.
