QUECHUA Men's Country Walking Shoes NH500 - Brown Black

We use leather known as "nubuck". It has a downy, silky touch.
The leather of these boots is of bovine origin. We do not kill animals to get this leather: we only use waste from the food industry.

After your walks, we recommend you:
- Leave to dry away from any heat source
- On fully dry leather, brush vigorously with a stiff brush to remove mud and dirt
- Use a suede brush or nubuck rubber to remove stains
- For stubborn stains, clean with a brush and some warm water
- Leave to dry
- Brush again with a stiff brush
- Spray with a waterproofing agent: this will give shine to the leather and liveliness to the colour.

Laboratory tests are also carried out to validate the following: tearing of eyelets and straps, gluing, toxicology, resistance to UV rays, abrasion of the sole and upper components, accelerated ageing. We use these tests to improve the quality of our products and prevent the premature wear of our hiking boots.

Try both boots on, standing up, wearing the socks you use for hiking. Try several models in several sizes if needed. Check the following two areas of comfort: the heel and the front of the foot when going downhill. There should be no compression points when fitting. Don't hesitate to walk around the store. Wear your boots for increasingly long periods to wear them in.

There are numerous causes of blisters when hiking :rubbing, a fold in the socks, damp, shoes that are a size too small or too big...
We therefore recommend you choose the correct shoe size and the sock fabric that is adapted to your walking shoes.

The size of socks chosen must fit the foot to avoid any additional creases in the sock: either because the sock is too big resulting in too much material around your foot, or because the sock is too small resulting in additional fabric being pulled inside the boot.

You need to manage moisture as best you can when walking: you will sweat, it is often inevitable.
If your shoe is breathable, it will wick away the damp from your perspiration: you need to choose light and breathable socks also
If your shoe is waterproof, to protect yourself from the dampness of rain and you will not make the same choice: you should prefer socks that will absorb your perspiration and then wick it away from your foot.

These boots offer a little breathability but not enough to wick away all the moisture from your perspiration. So you should go for NH500 low or mid socks: they contain cotton which absorbs moisture and have a terry construction under the sock that draws moisture away from your foot. And they’re high enough to protect your ankle from the boot.
This is an excellent combination to limit the appearance of blisters.
