Men's waterproof hiking boots - Technica Torena Gore-Tex

Buying tips

Try on both boots, while standing, with the socks worn for hiking. Try on several models or sizes if necessary. Check two comfort points: the seat of the heel (the heel does not lift, or very little) and the front of the foot going downhill. The toes don’t touch the end. Avoid all pressure points when trying shoes on.

Don't hesitate to walk around the store. Wear your boots in gradually during your first hikes to break them in.

Care tips

Use a brush and/or sponge to clean the boot and remove any dirt or mud.

Then leave to air dry, away from any heat source.

Finish by using a re-waterproofing spray to keep optimal water-repellency of the upper and extend the life of the boot.

Making waterproofing last longer

A shoe's waterproofing is often undermined by water getting in from the top of the shoe. To keep your feet dry for longer, it is therefore advisable to use a waterproof gaiter or mini-gaiter that will prevent water as well as pebbles, sand, etc. from getting inside through the top. It is advisable to use a waterproof spray several times a year. This restores the original water-repellent properties and prevents staining.
