Winter hiking enthusiasts, our designers have created these leather boots. Warm and waterproof, they will give you comfort and support

Can you be sure that your boots are warm enough for your winter hikes?

We have chosen an ultra-warm lining and high volume encouraging insulation to give you effective protection from the cold.
We tested it in the laboratory and in the field with our user representatives. We checked the temperature down to which it stays comfortable when you’re stationary and when you’re walking, as this varies a lot: 27°F when static and 23°F when moving. We also took into account how temperature is felt differently by men and women.

How do your boots protect you from outdoor conditions?

Your boots are designed with leather and a membrane to guarantee waterproofing and breathability. A membrane is an extremely fine component (5 to 25 micrometers) affixed to the inside of a fabric that prevents water from entering while letting moisture escape. Their mid upper with faux fur provides good protection against the cold and prevents snow from entering, while the mid-sole gives you perfect insulation. Your feet will be well protected, warm, and dry.

How can you be sure your boots are 100% waterproof?

We made sure that your boots are waterproof by conducting laboratory tests to simulate walking with the boots half submerged in water. We also conducted field tests to measure wear and aging. During the waterproofing test, we test 3 levels of waterproofing: 2,000 flexes (about 2.5-mile walk), 4,000 flexes (about 5-mile walk), and 8,000 flexes (about 10-mile walk). This model of boot has been tested for up to 4,000 flexes, which is equivalent to 5 miles of walking.

Breathable boots for optimal thermal comfort

Thermal comfort is a balance between the warmth of the boots and its ability to let the foot breathe. Too much heat or not enough breathability means that damp accumulates and cold can set in. We have designed your boots with your regular and at times intense activity in mind, with a membrane that prevents water ingress and lets damp out.

What is the difference between traction and grip?

The traction of the boots depends on the number and shape of the studs. The grip is dependent on the materials of the sole and the tread pattern, like the tires of your car. Traction optimizes propulsion, prevents the boot from slipping backward when going uphill, and stabilizes the boot.
Grip prevents the boot from slipping and skidding on smooth ground or in demanding conditions (rain, snow, ice) by giving the base grip.

Which type of grip and traction does this boot provide?

Equipped with SnowContact soles, your boots are designed for maximum grip comfort for hiking and traction on snow. The location and height of the studs (4 mm) is inspired by lynx feet and are spaced strategically for optimal grip when hiking on snow on steep terrain. The surface and layout of the studs are designed to perfectly grip the layer of hard snow and evacuate excess water to avoid slipping.

How does the SnowContact technology used on the boot sole help you?

SnowContact soles are made with a specific component and stud pattern that is designed to ensure the best possible grip and traction. SnowContact soles are more effective than traditional soles on snow. When walking on ice, the only way to ensure optimum safety is to add anti-slip grips to your boots.

Why is it important to be well supported in a hiking boot?

The support provided by your boot is essential for your comfort when walking. Indeed, good support optimizes your steps on hilly terrain (ascent and descent), prevents your foot from sliding in the boot, and reduces the occurrence of blisters. There is less loss in the transmission of your energy to the boot and therefore less fatigue. This is especially important when you are snowshoeing.

Will your boots withstand regular use over the long term?

Our engineers conduct laboratory tests to ensure that the product fully complies with your satisfaction in use. Our verifications include the following elements: tearing eyelets and straps, gluing, toxicology, UV-resistance, abrasion-resistance of outsole and upper components, accelerated aging.

Why choose a leather snow hiking boot?

Leather is ultra-comfortable, durable (natural material), and flexible for greater comfort.
This material is waterproof and naturally breathable.
Warm in winter and cool in mid-season, the leather naturally regulates the temperature of the boot.
We advise you to brush your boots well (soft brush) to maintain them and maximize their longevity.

How to choose the right footwear for hiking

To be well equipped in winter, we recommend that you follow these guidelines: Warmth: warmth provided by a warm pair of socks (ideally containing a suitable percentage of wool)
Breathability: Choose the sock according to the intensity of the hike and make sure you wear a breathable model to minimize moisture.
Boot height: adapt the height of the sock to the height of the upper and preferably choose high models if you want more protection.

How to preserve the technical qualities of your boots

A fabric’s water-repellent property is its capacity to make water run off its surface without seeping in. This prevents the fabric from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, warm, and breathable. The water-repellent property is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment needs to be renewed during the lifetime of the garment. Products (spray or liquid) for this purpose are available in our stores.

How does your product warranty work?
