TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
OUTDOORCONTACT© Grip
The grip of our soles is certified.
To get this certification, the boots must pass laboratory tests to assess the grip coefficient on different surfaces (smooth, rugged, dry, wet).
To validate these tests, we have the quality of our soles assessed in the field, on hikes, by a panel of testers covering 500 km.
The soles of these boots were given a grip score of 5/5, and are OUTDOORCONTACT©-certified.
Designed for hiking use
Our hiking boots are designed for use on hiking trails. Indeed, we choose the components of the sole and upper of our boots and test them to ensure that they are ideally suited to walking on loose trails (e.g. unpaved forest paths) or rocky trails (e.g. rocky coastal paths). Road use (tarmac) may lead to premature wear on your shoes and cause discomfort. They are not suitable for mountain walking.
Durability tests
Laboratory tests were also conducted to test the following elements: tearing eyelets and straps, gluing, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion resistance of outsole and upper components, accelerated ageing. These tests allow us to improve the quality of our products and prevent premature wear of our hiking shoes.
We have reduced our environmental impact on this product
We've improved this product through an eco-design procedure on :
- Upper, laces and loops, tongue and collar lining: 100% recycled polyester
- Inner sole: 85% recycled polyurethane foam
-Outsole: 30% recycled rubber
These actions represent 31% of the weight of the shoe.
The use of recycled materials helps to reduce the depletion of resources by recycling end-of-life materials. Technical use and quality are guaranteed.
What is the origin of our leather?
We use a leather called ‘nubuck’. It has a soft, silky feel. The leather used in these shoes comes from cows. No animals are killed for the production of this leather: we only use the waste products from the food industry.
Maintaining your leather boots
After your hikes, we advise you to:
- Leave your shoes to dry near a heat source
- Brusquely brush, using a hard-bristled brush, the dry leather to remove any mud and dirt
- Use a soft-bristled brush or nubuck eraser to remove any stains
- If the stains are stubborn, clean them using a brush and a little warm water
- Leave to dry
- Brush again using a hard-bristled brush
- Spray with a waterproofing product: this will make the leather shine and bring out the colours
What material and pair of socks goes well with the NH500 shoe?
You need to manage moisture as best you can when walking: you will sweat, it is often inevitable.
The NH500 shoe is breathable, it will wick away moisture from your perspiration. It is therefore necessary to choose a light and breathable sock as well. You should go for the Hike 100 low or mid socks. they contain moisture-absorbing cotton and have a reverse terry-knit structure that wicks moisture away from your foot. They are high enough to protect your ankle from the shoe.

TESTS AND WARRANTY
Test product
Our Quechua global design centre is based in Passy, at the foot of Mont-Blanc in Haute Savoie. This location makes it a real meeting place for our teams (designers, product managers, engineers, etc) and outdoor sports enthusiasts. A great asset for designing quality products for your treks, and bringing you all our expertise.
Warranty
2 Years
Agree by
To meet your requirements, Quechua products are tested out in the heart of nature in the type of conditions you may encounter during your hikes. Our teams, as well as a tester panel (made up of partners, ambassadors and customers) test products throughout their development until they go to market. These boots were approved in April 2018 by a group of testers during a day-long hike on the coastal GR34 trail in Brittany.

MaterialRecycled polyester
Product made of 100% recycled polyester
We have incorporated recycled polyester into this product (instead of conventional polyester, which is itself derived from petrochemical plastic). What does this mean? In addition to being technical, this product has been designed taking into account its environmental impact: using recycled polyester means recovering and transforming products destined to be thrown away, such as production offcuts or plastic bottles, instead of using new oil resources.

PlasticRecycled rubber
Product made of 30% recycled rubber
Recycling rubber allows significant savings in energy and oil resources. Integrating recycled rubber therefore significantly reduces the environmental impact of the product.
