Flash Sale 👏 Quechua MH100, Waterproof Hiking 🥾 Boots, 👩 Women’s Footwear 🌟

Give your feet comfort and protection with cushioning along the entire length of the sole, a protective stone-guard for your toes and waterproof membrane to keep them dry

We designed this waterproof mid-height boot at the foot of Mont Blanc, for regular mountain hikes (3-4 hours, < 6 miles, 2,300-foot altitude difference)

Outsole with grip

The grip of our soles is certified. To be awarded this certification, boots must pass laboratory tests to assess the grip level on different surfaces (Smooth, Rugged, Dry, Wet). To validate these tests, we assess the quality of our soles in the field and in the mountains, using a panel of representative testers over 300 miles

Waterproofing test

In a laboratory, the boot is immersed in water to mid-height on a mechanical arm that simulates a number of steps.
With this test we can determine a time and number of miles that the boot can walk while staying dry.
– 2,000 bends, about 30 minutes of hiking
– 10,000 bends, about 3 hours
– 30,000 bends, approximately 8 hours
– 50,000 bends, approximately 12 hours
Then we confirm that the boot keeps its promises in use on the ground and in the rain.

Prolonging waterproofness

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

We advise re-waterproofing your boots twice a year using a re-proofing agent (search for ‘waterproofing’ on our decathlon website) that will help you restore the original water-repellent qualities and fight against stains on the outside.

What boot size should you choose?

‘The most important thing is to try on several 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 descending, check that your lacing prevents your foot from sliding forward inside the boot.”

Buying tips / How do you try your boots on?

Some Decathlon stores are equipped with a test course.
1. Try on both boots while standing, with the socks worn for hiking. 2. Tighten the laces, taking care to correctly start the tightening.
3. Check 2 points:
– The heel does not come up before the boot when you walk uphill.
– The foot does not slide and the toes do not press against the front when going downhill.
4. Try on several sizes and models.

Break them in gradually to adapt them to your foot.

Optimize the capabilities of your boots: Replace your insoles!

The original insole in your boots is designed to accommodate most feet. A change of insole can bring:
1. Improved support: Some soles are preformed or reinforced to better support the arch of the foot. 2. More comfort: The insoles can also provide heat and/or cushioning.
3. Longer life: Restore the support and comfort of your boots by replacing the insole each season.

All our boots are tested for initial comfort and comfort in use by hikers (who do not work for Decathlon) under the same conditions you will encounter yourself when hiking. The aim is to further develop the product and validate it as objectively as possible, for your greatest satisfaction.

Other laboratory tests are also conducted to validate the following elements: torn eyelets and straps, bonding, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion of the sole and the components of the upper, accelerated aging.
