Benefit of the self-locking hook
With this material, you can separate the upper and lower lacing
This allows you to adjust the lacing to the shape of your foot and give your ankle as much freedom as you like. To separate the upper lacing from the lower part, make a simple knot level with your instep or use your shoes’ self-locking hook.
All of our trekking shoes have this feature.
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.
