TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS

Which size should I select?

To find the right boot, try out several different sizes and models. You can also go for one size larger than your usual size for improved comfort when heading downhill. Choose sports socks that are suitable for hiking to avoid your feet overheating.

How is grip tested?

3D Digital simulation:
We simulate the grip ability of the 3D soles to assess their performance on various terrains.

Lab tests:
the boots then undergo grip tests on a variety of surfaces in the laboratory to guarantee their reliability.

What is the foot support like?

With its precise, effective lacing, this pair guarantees good foot support. The loops at the collar mean the heel stays perfectly positioned, providing stable, secure support at every step.

What’s the weight of this pair?

319 g per boot in size 5.
It offers a good balance between lightness and protection.

How do we test waterproofing?

Our boots undergo an intensive test in the lab to guarantee their waterproofing properties. They are immersed in water and are folded up in water up to a certain level, replicating real-life hiking conditions. This test ensures that your feet stay dry, even in wet or rainy conditions.

Hiking frequency and intensity?

Three levels of practice:

Occasional: 10 hikes/year, 3-4 hrs, <10 km, 700 m altitude.
Regular: 20 hikes/year, 4-6 hrs, 10-20 km, 700-1200 m altitude.
Intensive: >20 hikes/year, >6 hrs, >20 km, up to 2000 m altitude.

The MH500 is suitable for regular use.

How to prevent blisters

To prevent blisters, choose well-fitting shoes, wear suitable socks, lace them up properly and adjust the laces before climbing and descents. Then start with short outings to get your new pair of shoes used to your feet.

How to choose the right socks?

For comfortable hiking, choose Merino wool or synthetic socks for better breathability and to prevent blisters. Opt for a thickness depending on the season and the terrain and make sure that they adjust to the shoe without any folds.

Do you need to replace your insoles?

The original insole adapts to different feet. Replace it for:
-Better support: Reinforced insoles to support the arch of your foot
-Comfort: Insoles with extra cushioning or warmth
-Lifespan: Replace them when they are worn for renewed comfort

How should you look after your shoes?

Air dry: Leave them to dry naturally,
Clean off the mud: Remove mud dry with a hard brush,
Treat stains: Brush with warm water,
Drying: Make sure they are completely dry,
Re-waterproof: Spray a solution to restore water-repellency.
