FAQ

What are the best Garmont mountaineering shoes for beginners?

For beginners, look for a semi-rigid, comfortable, and lightweight model. They offer a good compromise between support and comfort. GARMONT entry-level models are perfect for learning techniques without tiring.

How to choose the right size of mountaineering shoe?

Measure your foot standing, with the sock you will wear in the mountains. Leave 5 to 10 mm of space at the front depending on the thickness of the sock. Try them on at the end of the day, when the foot is most swollen. If you hesitate between two sizes, prefer the larger one to avoid black toenails on long descents.

What are the advantages of GARMONT shoes compared to other brands?

GARMONT focuses on the ergonomics of the fit, precise lacing, and finishes designed for mountaineering. The heel-to-toe support is often cited as an advantage. The brand also offers a wide range: from approach models to technical boots. In short: versatility, comfort, and reliability.
