TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
We have reduced our environmental impact on this product
43% of the weight of these shoes is eco-designed:
- 75% recycled polyester microfibre upper
- Upper mesh laces and 100% recycled polyester lace loops
- Lining: 100% recycled polyester for the blue (reference 8583428) and brown colour (reference 8583429)
- 30% bio-based midsole (cane sugar)
- 30% recycled rubber outsole made from tyres
Resistant soles for walking trails
Our hiking boots are designed for use on hiking trails. Indeed, the components of the sole and upper of our boots are selected and tested to ensure that they are as well suited as possible to hiking on soft trails (e.g. dirt paths in forests) or stony trails (rocky coastal footpaths). Road use (tarmac) may lead to premature wear on your boots and cause discomfort. They are not suitable for mountain walking.
Tested for durability and optimal resistance
Laboratory tests were 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.
Which pair of socks are suitable for Quechua NH500 Fresh shandals?
You can wear these shandals without socks. However, if you do want to wear some, we recommend choosing a pair of polyamide, cotton-free socks. Polyamide is a fibre that is specially chosen for its capacity to eliminate moisture. We therefore recommend Newfeel WS500 Fresh socks.
WHY CHOOSE RECYCLED POLYESTER?
Main material of the upper, mesh, laces and lace loops in 40% recycled polyester. Lining 100% recycled polyester for blue/yellow and brown colours.
By recycling plastic bottles or used fabrics to produce our polyester, we reduce the use of petrol-based resources while maintaining the material's quality and performance for your hikes.
OUR COMMITMENT TO CONSUME LESS WATER WITH THIS PRODUCT
We use this mass pigmentation for the black/yellow colours (reference 8626277).
In addition to the large quantity of water consumed to dye the textiles, waste water is discharged from the dyeing baths. To reduce our environmental impact, we use a mass pigmentation process that involves adding the colour pigments when the yarn itself is produced.

TESTS AND WARRANTY
Test product
It’s in France, at the foot of Mont Blanc, that our design team conceives, designs and creates Quechua products. We test them in the field with other hikers, to check their comfort and durability. Fontainebleau forest, Brittany or in Corsica for example. We go to as many different places as possible, in all weather conditions. This creates plenty of opportunities for discussions to get your feedback which is used to plan our future products!
Warranty
2 Years
Agree by
These shandals were tested and approved by a dozen or so testers in June 2021 in the Var on the Côte d'Azur. In order to meet your requirements, Quechua products are tested in the wild in the conditions you encounter during your hikes. Our teams, as well as a panel of testers (made up of partners, ambassadors and customers), test the products throughout their development right up until they are marketed.

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.
-
MaterialRecycled polyester
Product made of 90% 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.

Foam
Recycled plastic
Product made with 30% recycled plastic in foam
The recycling of plastics allows significant savings in energy and raw materials. Integrating recycled plastics in the formulation of the foam therefore makes it possible to significantly reduce the environmental impact of the product.
