To be awarded thiscertification, the shoes must pass laboratory tests to assess the grip rate ondifferent surfaces (Smooth, Rugged, Dry, Wet). To validate these tests, weassess the quality of our soles in the field, the mountains, by a panel ofrepresentative testers over 500 km ; Waterproofing test: In a laboratory, theshoe is immersed in water to mid height on a mechanical arm that simulates anumber of steps. With this test we can determine a time and a number of kmthat the shoe can walk while staying dry. \- 2000 bends, about 30 minutes ofhiking \- 10,000 bends, about 3 hours \- 30,000 bends, approximately 8 hours\- 50,000 bends, approximately 12 hours Then we confirm that the shoe keepsits promises in use on the ground and in the rain. ; Making waterproofing lastlonger: To keep your feet dry, it is advisable to use waterproof gaiters ormini-gaiters that will protect the top of the shoe from incoming water, butalso small stones, sand, etc. We advise you to re-waterproof your shoes twicea year using a waterproofing product (look for "waterproofing" on ourDecathlon website) which will help to restore the original water repellentproperties and combat external staining. ; Which size should you choose?: Themost important thing is to try several sizes and models of shoes to find thebest one for you! A size above your usual size can be taken to prevent toesfrom pressing against the tip when going downhill, provided that the foot isheld properly in place to avoid friction. Advice: keep your toenails shortand, before a long descent check that your lacing is tight enough to preventyour foot from sliding forwards inside the shoe. ; Buying advice/How to try onyour footwear: Some Decathlon stores are equipped with a test course. 1\. Tryboth shoes on, standing up, wearing the socks you use for hiking. 2\. Tightenthe laces, taking care to correctly restart the tightening. 3\. Check twopoints: \- the heel does not take off before the shoe when you walk uphill. \-the foot does not slide and the toes do not press onto the front when goingdownhill. 4\.
