Making waterproofing last longer
To keep your feet dry, we advise you to use a waterproof gaiter or mini-gaiter to protect the top of your boots and prevent water, pebbles and sand from getting in.

Which size should i select?
The most important thing is 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.

Tip: keep your toenails short and, before a long descent, check that your lacing is tight enough to prevent your foot from sliding forwards inside the boot.

Buying tips / how do you try your boots on?
Some decathlon stores have a test route.
– Try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks worn for hiking.
– Tighten the laces, taking care to correctly balance the tightening.

Check two points:
– The heel does not come up before the shoe when you walk uphill.
– The foot does not slide and the toes do not press against the front when going downhill.

Try on several sizes and models.

Break them in gradually to adapt them to your foot.

Which socks?
A waterproof shoe will be less breathable than a non-waterproof shoe. Socks like the mh500 with a medium-length upper are therefore better for wicking away perspiration and reducing friction.

Optimise the capabilities of your boots: replace your insoles!
The original insole in your shoes is designed to accommodate most feet. A change of insole can bring:

Improved support: some soles are preformed or reinforced to better support the arch of the foot.

More comfort: the insoles can also provide heat and/or cushioning.

Longer life: restore the support and comfort of your shoes by replacing the insole each season.

How should you look after your shoes?
– Leave to air dry.
– Remove dry mud with a stiff brush.
– Clean marks using a brush and some warm water
– Leave to dry
– Spray with a re-waterproofing product to restore the water-resistance to the upper.
