Looking for hiking boots or comfortable sneakers for your winter outings?
Choose 2-in-1. Their modern look will make it easy to juggle between hiking and your daily activities.

Our team of hiking enthusiasts designed these warm and waterproof sneakers for your daily winter outings. They combine comfort, grip, and style.

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

Based on cold sensation tests in the field and in the laboratory with a panel of users, we measure the thermal resistance of our shoes at rest (static 32°F) and during activity (when moving 16°F). As a result, you now have an accurate measure of the temperature at which you are protected with these boots. The comfort temperature rating for your boots is shown. We take into consideration the differences in feeling between men and women.

How do your boots protect you from outdoor conditions?

Your boots have been designed with a membrane to ensure optimal water-resistance. A membrane is a very fine component (between 5 and 25 micrometers) affixed to the inside of a fabric that will prevent water from entering while letting moisture escape. While you stay warm in your boots, your feet will also stay dry. The outer sole and the mid-sole insulate from the cold contact with snow.

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 activity in mind, be it occasional or regular, with a membrane that prevents water ingress and lets damp out.

How to 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.

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 crampons (3 mm) are spaced strategically for optimal grip when hiking on snow. 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.

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.

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?

This product is guaranteed for 2 years from the date shown on the sales receipt. A product covered by the warranty will be exchanged free of charge. The warranty covers product defects, excluding those resulting from normal wear and tear and improper use.

Eco-design information:

We have improved this product with an eco-design approach.
The outer fabric and fur collar are made from recycled polyester.

The synthetic exterior is made from polyurethane-coated recycled polyester and is fluorine free.
For the inner lining, we have opted for mass pigmentation integrating the color pigments from the initial thread manufacture which reduces water consumption
The sole is made from 30% recycled rubber.

Determining the environmental impact of our products

A product’s environmental impact is calculated over its entire lifecycle using various indicators.
A score from A to E is produced to help you make a responsible choice.
This rating is used to easily identify the products with the best environmental performance.
This is done by making a comparison between products of the same family (e.g. backpacks).
Decathlon is a voluntary supporter of this environmentally-friendly labeling approach.
