Leather mid upper, waterproof for more comfort

Footwear waterproofing test.\n

The footwear is laboratory and field tested to ensure optimal waterproofing and breathability. First, the shoe is immersed in water while internal air pressure is applied to check that no bubbles form on the surface of the footwear. Next, shoes are fitted to a mechanical arm that simulates walking and half immersed in water so we can test that the inside remains perfectly dry.

3 levels of waterproofing.\n

In the waterproofing tests, we test 3 levels of waterproofing, with 2,000 flexes (approx. a 2.5mi walk), 4000 flexes (approx. a 5mi walk) and 8000 flexes (approx. a 10mi walk). Of course, after this test or in use, the shoe regains its original waterproofing once dry.

Shoe waterproofing level.

The Arpenaz 500 Mid Warm shoe is waterproof for 4000 flexes.

SNOWCONTACT technology.

SNOWCONTACT soles are made using a special component. Designs are optimized to provide excellent all-terrain grip and maximal traction all winter long. SNOWCONTACT soles are more effective than traditional soles on snow.

Field tests.

All our shoes undergo use and comfort tests carried out by users who represent the target market in conditions identical to those found in typical use. In our field tests, the product manager works with people outside QUECHUA to test, improve, and approve our products.

Measurement of the boots' thermal insulation.

It used to be impossible to tell the exact temperature down to which your shoes would protect you. Now it can be done: the temperature limits for use are shown on your Quechua shoes.
Using cold sensing tests while hiking and in the lab with a panel of customers, we measured the thermal resistance of our shoes while active and at rest. We take into account the differences in sensing cold between men and women.

Lab tests.

Laboratory tests were conducted to test the following elements: attachment of eyelets and webbing, assembly, toxicology, UV resistance, sole and upper component abrasion, accelerated aging.
