Technical Information:

Made in Europe Manufacturing:
100% of our Forclaz shoes are made in Europe. These shoes are manufactured in the European Union, in Romania, in a factory specializing in making hiking shoes (GRISPORT). This factory exclusively uses water-based glue without chemical solvents. Most materials are of European origin.

Benefit of the Self-Locking Hook:
With this material, you can separate the upper and lower lacing. This 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. All of our trekking shoes have this feature.

How Waterproof Are These Boots?
This boot has been validated by a waterproofing test at 10,000 repeatable flexes, i.e., 10 km – 3 hours of walking, in water up to the mid-upper, which guarantees a very good level of waterproofing for your boots. Our assessment indicates a level of 2/5, giving 3 hours of waterproofing when hiking in the rain.

Waterproofing Test:
Footwear waterproofing test: tested in the laboratory and genuine usage conditions, equipped with a waterproof and breathable layer, to offer excellent protection from the rain. Our Field Test Missions team up the product manager with people who aren’t affiliated with Quechua to test, improve, and validate our products. Next, shoes are fitted to a mechanical arm that simulates walking and half immersed in water to ensure that the inside remains perfectly dry.

3 Levels of Waterproofing
During the waterproofness test, we test 5 levels of waterproofness:
– 2,000 flexes (approximately 4 km, 30 minutes of walking)
– 10,000 flexes (approximately 10 km, 3 hours of walking)
– 30,000 flexes (approximately 15 km, 6 hours of walking)
– 50,000 flexes (approximately 20 km, 8 hours of walking)
– 100,000 flexes (approximately 20 km, 24 hours of walking)

Lab Tests: Laboratory tests were conducted to test the following elements:
– Tearing of the eyelets and straps
– Bonding of the sole
– Toxicology
– UV resistance
– Abrasion of the sole and components of the upper
– Accelerated aging.
– Buying Tips
– Try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks worn for hiking. Try on several models or sizes if necessary. Check two comfort points: the base of the heel and the front part of the foot. Avoid all pressure points when trying them on. Don’t hesitate to walk around the store. Gradually start using your shoes during your first few hiking trips to break them in.
