TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS

How is the durability and solidity of the NH500 MID LEATHER WP hiking boots determined?

Laboratory tests were conducted to test the following elements: tearing eyelets and straps, gluing, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion resistance of outsole and upper components, accelerated ageing.
These tests allow us to improve the quality of our products and prevent premature wear of our hiking shoes.

What makes the NH500 MID LEATHER WP hiking boots so comfortable?

Our nature hiking boots promise one thing, and that’s heightened comfort for the wearer. to this end, we have included different ingredients in this boot to take care of your feet such as the EVA foam midsole and insole (ethylene vinyl acetate), or the neck of the boot (top heel section) which includes a synthetic foam for greater comfort when worn.
We have also eliminated the seams in the heel area to avoid any discomfort.

What makes the soles of the NH500 MID LEATHER WP hiking boots grip so well on hiking trails?

The sole’s design is the result of long research carried out in our labs. It is composed of a specific rubber formula which optimises grip and traction. We are always looking for the best solution to progress on loose or mineral (forest or coastal) walking trails.
When used on roads, this can lead to the premature wear of your boots and cause discomfort. They are not suitable for high mountain walking.

Which pair of socks should you wear with the NH500 MID LEATHER WP hiking boots?

These shoes are slightly breathable but not enough to wick away all humidity created by your perspiration. We recommend you choose Hike 100 Low or Mid socks. They contain moisture-absorbing cotton. They also have a plush loop construction that wicks away moisture from your foot. They are also high enough to protect your ankle from the shoe. It is an excellent combination to reduce the chance of blisters.

What is the waterproofing performance of these NH500 MID LEATHER WP boots?

We made sure that your boots are waterproof by conducting laboratory tests to simulate walking with the boots half submerged in water. We also conducted field tests to measure wear and ageing. During the waterproofing laboratory test, we test 3 levels of waterproofness: 2000 flexes (30 minutes’ walking), 10 000 flexes (3-hour hike) and 30 000 flexes (6-hour hike). This model of boot has been tested for up to 10000 flexes, which is equivalent to 3 km of walking.

How to look after NH500 MID LEATHER WP hiking boots in 6 steps

1/ Remove the laces to avoid smearing them with grease.
2/ Dry brush them to remove dust and any particles stuck on the leather. This is an essential step so any dirt doesn’t get stuck under a new layer of grease.
3/ Grease the leather (ref. 8677747 grease) with a brush, rubbing it deep into all the seams and gaps.
4/ Wipe off the excess grease with a soft cloth.
5/ Rub gently to make them shine.
6/ Replace the laces!
