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. Given the variety of different needs, we always seek the best compromise between muddy off-road trails (like a forest path) and mineral trails (like a coastal path).

Our walking shoes are designed for use on off-road trails. Indeed, we choose the components of the sole and upper of our boots and test them to ensure that they are ideally suited to walking on loose trails (e.g. unpaved forest paths) or rocky trails (e.g. rocky coastal paths). Road use (tarmac) may lead to premature wear on your boots and cause discomfort. They are not suitable for mountain walking.

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

Try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks you wear for hiking. Try several models, several sizes if necessary. Check two comfort points: - the fit on the heel - the front of the foot when descending Avoid all compression points when fitting. Feel free to walk around the store. Break in your boots gradually during their first hikes to adapt them to your foot.

There are multiple factors which may cause blisters when you are walking: rubbing, a crease in the sock, moisture, a boot size that is too small or too big, etc. It is therefore important to choose the right size and to have socks made of the right material for your walking boots.

You need to choose the correct sock size for your feet to avoid any extra folds forming. These folds may form because the sock is too big and therefore there is too much fabric around your foot, or because the sock so small and is pulled towards the inside of your foot.

Moisture must be effectively managed when walking: We sweat, it’s bound to happen. If your shoe is breathable, it will wick away moisture from your perspiration. It is therefore necessary to choose a light and breathable sock as well. If your boots are relatively waterproof, you will not make the same choice to protect you from the moisture of the rain: choose a sock which will absorb your sweat, and direct it as far as possible away from your foot.

These boots are slightly breathable, but not enough to evacuate all humidity created by your sweat. We advise you to choose NH100 Mid socks: they contain moisture-absorbing cotton and have a reverse terry-knit construction under the sock that wicks moisture away 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.

Our hiking boots are guaranteed for 2 years. Our commitment? To offer you long-lasting products that you can use on all your country hikes and walks. Because the products that we love the most are those that have lived the most adventures and will continue to live them!

We recommend that you keep your boots away from the damp and light, and if possible in a ventilated place.

At the foot of the Mont Blanc, in France, our design team imagines, draws and designs Quechua products. We test them in the field with other hikers to make sure that they are comfortable and durable. Fontainebleau Forest or in Brittany, for example. We headed out onto as many different terrains as possible, in all weather conditions. This testing gives us plenty of opportunities to discuss the products, get your feedback and plan our future collections!
