The shoe adapts to your feet.

Cross Contact sole
Lengthy research into the design of the sole in our laboratories, combined with a special rubber formulation which optimizes the balance between traction and adhesion. The design of the Forclaz 500 Helium's sole will provide more grip than traction. Definition > Grip: not slipping on loose ground (loamy or dry). Traction: not slipping on hard ground (wet or dry).
Purchasing advice
Try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks worn for hiking. Try on several models or sizes if necessary. Check two comfort points: the base of the heel and the front part of the foot going down. Avoid all pressure points when trying them on. Don't hesitate to walk around the store. Gradually start using you boots during your first few hiking trips to break them in.
What size should I choose?
For hiking, you may need a size larger than your usual size to guarantee optimal comfort while going downhill, and avoid your toes bumping the end of the shoes. Tip: keep your toenails short, and before going downhill at any time, check that your laces are tight enough to stop your feet slipping down towards the front of the shoes.
