Models suited to every type of hike

No two hikes are the same. Neither are your walking boots.

Boots for light hiking

Walking on marked trails with moderate elevation? A low or mid boot is enough. Lightweight and flexible, it allows your foot to move naturally. Perfect for days in the woods or walks in the foothills.

• Low or mid cut for greater freedom of movement
• Flexible sole for less technical terrain
• Lightweight to reduce fatigue over time

Boots for trekking and long-distance hiking

Several days on the trail, heavy pack, varied terrain: you need a sturdy trekking boot. High cut, stiff sole and ankle support are essential to protect your feet over long distances.

• High cut for enhanced ankle support
• Thick sole to absorb shocks on rough ground
• Robust construction for season after season durability

Key technologies to know before buying walking boots on sale

Gore-Tex membrane: waterproof and breathable

The Gore-Tex membrane keeps water out while letting sweat escape. Your feet stay dry in the rain or on wet ground. A real advantage for spring hikes or at altitude. Note: no membrane is infallible in prolonged immersion.

Vibram soles: grip and durability

Vibram is the world leader in technical soles. Their rubber grips on rocky, slippery or wet surfaces. Uphill traction, downhill braking: everything is designed to keep you stable on the trail.

How to choose the right walking boots in the sales?

Consider your foot shape

Women's feet generally have a narrower heel and wider forefoot than men's. That's why women's walking boots are designed with different volume and shape. The same goes for men's trekking boots, made for a larger overall volume. Choosing a model designed for your foot shape helps prevent blisters and discomfort from the very first walk.

• Try on with your usual hiking socks
• Allow half a size up for descents
• Check that your heel doesn't move when walking

Choose according to your activity

The right choice depends on your terrain and how often you hike.

• Light hiking: low, lightweight boot with good breathability
• Multi-day trekking: high trekking boot with ankle support and stiff sole
• Mixed terrain: versatile mid Gore-Tex model, suitable for both men's and women's walking boots
• High mountain: technical boot with Vibram sole and crampon compatibility
