Why offer the same model with two front width fittings?: Following an extensive study of trekker's preferences when it comes to boot shape, we decided to design a boot available in 2 different shapes: one classic, and one wide. Each individual can choose how much space they have inside the boots and reduce the risk of inflammation and blisters caused by badly fitting boots. MADE IN EUROPE MANUFACTURING : 100% of our Forclaz shoes are made in Europe.: These shoes are manufactured in the European Union, in Romania, in a factory specialising in making hiking shoes (GRISPORT) This factory exclusively uses water-based glue without chemical solvents. Most materials are of European origin.MANUFACTURER: https://grisport.it/company/?lang=enTip: copy and paste the links you find on this page into your favourite browser ;) What kind of trails are this boot made for?: This boot is designed for trekking on generally low altitude routes and/or on trails. It can occasionally be used on more technical sections: passages over rocks, firm snow, slopes. 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. Environmental approach: DOPE-DYED process used on the inner lining of this model. Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce our impact, we have opted for mass pigmentation called "Dope Dye" which integrates the colour pigments from the initial thread manufacture. This technique saves a large quantity water and considerably reduces CO2 emissions. This also reduces colour fading over time. CONTACT® technology. Grip and traction of our soles: The grip and traction of our soles is certified CONTACT® To be awarded certification, the boots must pass laboratory tests to assess the grip rate on different surfaces (Smooth, Rugged, Dry, Wet). To validate these tests, we assess the quality of our soles in the field, the mountains, by a panel of representative testers over 500 kmTheir notching also gives you grip adapted to muddy or wet terrain Why choose a leather model? Benefits and disadvantages.: Advantages: - supple leather. - durable and waterproof, the leather prevents water running across the boot by repelling and absorbing it. - breathable leather (natural pores of leather skin), but less so than a synthetic boot in strong heat. To reduce this problem, nubuck leather is used for greater breathability, but is also more sensitive to rain. Drawbacks: - it needs to be nourished, hydrated and treated to remain waterproof HOW WATERPROOF ARE THESE BOOTS?: This boot has been tested and validated for 10,000 flexes repeatable, equivalent to a 15 km walk, in water reaching the mid-upper. This now guarantees a good level of boot waterproofing.--> Our assessment indicates a LEVEL OF 3/5 giving 6 hours of waterproofing when hiking in the rain. The details of tests carried out to assess the waterproofing of our boots is below. How to maintain the waterproofing of your boots?
