What size should you choose?

We advise you to try on several sizes and styles of boots to find the one most suited to you. You can take a size above your usual one to prevent the toes from bumping into the toe box when going downhill, provided the foot is properly supported to avoid friction.

how to try on your boots?

1. Try on both boots, while standing up, with the socks worn for hiking.2. Tighten the laces, distributing the tension evenly.3. Check two aspects:- that your heel doesnt lift up before the boot when walking on an incline- that your foot doesnt slip; and also that your toes dont hit the front on the downhill.

The technical nature of the Outdoor Contact sole

The increased grip and resistance of this high-performance sole are due to an exclusive rubber blend. The design of the sole is what strengthens the grip. Our laboratory tests evaluate the grip coefficient on various surfaces/conditions, while our field tests in the mountains confirm it.

Whats the difference between traction and grip?

Traction optimises propulsion, prevents the boot from slipping backwards and stabilises it. It depends on the number and shape of the boot crampons.Grip prevents the boot from slipping and skidding on smooth ground or in demanding conditions.

How to care for your boots

1. Leave your boots to air dry.2. Remove dry mud with a stiff brush.3. Clean stains with a brush and some warm water and leave to dry.4. Use a re-waterproofing spray to restore water-repellency on the upper.
