adidas Terrex Ax4R Hiking Shoes - Olive strata/Matte Silver/Shadow Olive - 12 UK Child

These shoes are designed for kids who are active and participate in outdoor activities. The sizing generally starts from toddler and goes up to youth sizes, so ensure you select the appropriate size for your child's age and foot measurement.

The Traxion outsole provides multi-directional grip, offering superior traction on various surfaces, including mud, rock, and wet ground, enhancing stability and reducing the risk of slips.

The shoes contain at least 20% recycled content, contributing to a reduced environmental impact.

While the shoes offer good grip in various conditions, they are not waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or dedicated waterproof hiking boots.

These shoes are generally recommended for children who are active in outdoor pursuits, typically from toddler sizes up to youth sizes. The specific UK sizing is provided for selection.

Measure your child's feet regularly, as they grow quickly. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe when they are standing. The lacing should be adjusted to provide a secure fit without pressure points.

Allow for a break-in period of a few short walks. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a snug but not constricting fit. Check if the size is appropriate for the child's current foot measurement.

Clean the Traxion outsole to remove any embedded mud or debris that might be compromising grip. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn down.

Minor scuffs are normal for hiking shoes. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For more significant wear, consider applying a suitable shoe protector spray designed for outdoor footwear.
