However, we enjoy wearing colour. To reduce this impact, we use the “Dope Dyed” technique where powder colour pigments are added when the yarn is produced (and not by soaking it in dye baths as is usually the case). This reduces consumption and the discharge of waste water from colouring our fabrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBenefit of the self-locking hook\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this material, you can separate the upper and lower lacing\nThis allows you to adjust the lacing to the shape of your foot and give your ankle as much freedom as you like. To separate the upper lacing from the lower part, make a simple knot level with your instep or use your shoes’ self-locking hook.\nAll of our trekking shoes have this feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eRoutes suited to this boot\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis boot is designed for trekking on generally low altitude routes and\/or on trails. It can occasionally be used on more technical sections: passages over rocks, firm snow, slopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eContact® technology for our soles\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grip and traction of our soles is certified Contact®\nTo be awarded certification, the boots must pass laboratory tests to assess the grip rate on different surfaces (smooth, rugged, dry, wet). To validate these tests, we assess the quality of our soles in the field, in the mountains, by a panel of representative testers over more than 500 km.\n\nThe notching also gives you grip adapted to muddy or wet terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAdvantages and drawbacks of this leather model\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdvantages:\n- supple leather\n- durable and waterproof, the leather prevents water running across the boot by repelling and absorbing it\n- breathable leather (natural pores of leather skin), but less so than a synthetic boot in strong heat. To reduce this problem, nubuck leather is used for greater breathability, but it is also more sensitive to the rain\nDrawbacks:\n- it needs to be nourished, hydrated and treated to remain waterproof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThis boot’s waterproof level\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis boot has been tested and validated for 10,000 flexes repeatable, equivalent to a 15 km walk, in water reaching the mid-upper. This now guarantees a good level of boot waterproofing.\n\n--\u0026gt; Our assessment indicates a LEVEL OF 3\/5 giving 6 hours of waterproofing when hiking in the rain.\nThe details of tests carried out to assess the waterproofing of our boots is below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMake this boot’s waterproofing last longer\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA waterproof grease is recommended to nourish leather to stop it drying out (cracking), to make it waterproof and protect against stains\n\n1\/ Trekking boot maintenance brush: https:\/\/www.decathlon.co.uk\/p\/shoe-maintenance-brush\/_\/R-p-307665?mc=8551990\n\n2\/ Grease for re-waterproofing leather boots: https:\/\/www.decathlon.co.uk\/p\/grease-for-re-waterproofing-leather-boots\/_\/R-p-9513?mc=8677747\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIncrease your boot’s waterproofing with a gaiter\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe waterproofing of boots is often compromised because water gets in at the collar of the boot.\n--\u0026gt; To keep your feet dry for longer, it is advisable to use a waterproof gaiter or mini-gaiter that will prevent water as well as pebbles and sand from getting inside through the top of the boot.\n\nModel perfectly suited to this trekking gaiter MT500 black\nhttps:\/\/www.decathlon.co.uk\/p\/trek-500-trekking-gaiters-black\/_\/R-p-124466?mc=8347880\u0026amp;c=BLACK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaintain your boots by following 6 steps\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e1\/ Take out the laces to avoid getting grease on them\n2\/ Brush when dry to remove dust and all the particles stuck to the leather. This is essential so any dirt doesn’t get stuck under a new layer of grease\n3\/ Grease the leather with a brush, rub it deep into all the seams and gaps.\n4\/ Wipe off the excess grease with a soft cloth\n5\/ Rub gently to make them shine\n6\/ Replace the laces\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWaterproofing my leather boots with a reactivating spray\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e1\/ Use a brush and\/or sponge to clean the boots and remove residual earth or mud.\n2\/ Next, leave to air-dry, well away from a heat source.\n3\/ Finish by applying a water protection booster spray to maintain optimal water-repellent properties of the upper and to prolong the life span of the boot.\n\nLink below for the applicator, also available online  : https:\/\/www.decathlon.fr\/p\/applicateur-re-activateur-de-deperlance-pour-chaussures\/_\/R-p-307629?mc=8551\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eChoosing your size is an important point.\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor hiking, do not hesitate to buy one size larger than the usual size to guarantee excellent comfort on the descent and to avoid toes rubbing at the tip of the shoe. Tip: keep your toenails short and, before descending, check that your lacing prevents your foot from sliding forwards inside the boot. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e5 levels of waterproofing\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the waterproofness test, we test 5 levels of waterproofness:\n- 2,000 flexes (approximately 4 km, 30 minutes of walking)\n- 10,000 flexes (approximately 10 km, 3 hours of walking)\n- 30,000 flexes (approximately 15 km, 6 hours of walking)\n- 50,000 flexes (approximately 20 km, 8 hours of walking)\n- 100,000 flexes (approximately \u0026gt;20 km, 24 hours of walking)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWaterproofing test carried out on this model\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur boots are laboratory tested by 2 consecutive tests\nTest 1: We test the effectiveness of the membrane alone immersed in water under air pressure. We simply check for any bubbles on the surface like a pierced air chamber\nTest 2: Thanks to a mechanical arm that simulates walking, the entire boots are half immersed in water and they complete thousands of flexes to check that the inside of the boot remains dry and it is therefore waterproof\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTry your boots out step by step\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow to choose your boots:\n1. Try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks worn for hiking.\n2. Tighten the laces correctly.\n3. Check the following two areas of comfort: the base of the heel and the front part of the foot going down.\n4. Stand up to walk with the boots on.\n5. Try on several sizes and several models.\n6. Gradually start using you shoes during your first few hiking trips to break them in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMain complementary laboratory tests\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaboratory tests were conducted to test the following elements:\n- tearing of the eyelets and straps\n- bonding of the sole\n- toxicology\n- UV-resistance\n- abrasion of the sole and components of the upper\n- accelerated ageing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWalk in comfort and protection with these waterproof high-top boots.
