Outlet 🔔 Quechua Footwear SH100 Warm, Waterproof Rip-Tab Leather Hiking 🥾 Boots, Kids’ ✨

Its eco-designed leather upper and finishes provide that city look while retaining the technicality of a hiking boot. Its interior waterproof lining makes it very warm.

The design team wanted these boots to take up a challenge: To design THE winter hiking boot that will adapt perfectly to the city.

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

We perform comparative studies carried out in a thermal laboratory, in walking conditions in light winds (3 mph). This is how we measure the thermal resistance of our boots. However, every individual feels the cold differently. Comfort temperature: felt slightly cold and 70% of users find the thermal sensation acceptable on their feet.
Limit temperature: felt very cold and 10% of users consider the thermal sensation acceptable on their feet.

How do your boots protect you from outdoor conditions?

Your boots are designed with a membrane to guarantee waterproofing and breathability. A membrane is a very fine component (5 to 25 micrometers) affixed to the inside of a fabric that prevents water from entering while allowing moisture to escape.

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 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.

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.

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 is fully satisfactory. 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.
