FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Terrex Ax4R model offers water resistance through its materials but is not fully waterproof. Some specific RAIN.RDY variants in the Terrex line are designed for enhanced waterproofing.
How do I use the Adifit measuring tool?
The Adifit tool is printed on the sockliner inside the shoe. It helps you check if there is enough space (approximately a thumb's width) between the longest toe and the end of the shoe to ensure a proper fit.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these hiking shoes. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.
What is the benefit of the mid-cut design?
The mid-cut design provides additional ankle support and helps to prevent dirt, pebbles, and debris from entering the shoe, offering greater comfort and protection on trails.
What does 'contains at least 20% recycled content' mean?
This means that a significant portion of the shoe's materials have been repurposed from previous products or waste, reducing the need for virgin resources and lowering the environmental impact.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, while designed for hiking, their comfortable cushioning and supportive design make them suitable for everyday wear for active children, especially if they enjoy being outdoors.
What is the stack height and midsole drop?
The stack height is 20 mm at the heel and 12 mm at the forefoot, resulting in a midsole drop of 8 mm. This provides a balanced feel between cushioning and ground feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the laces to ensure a snug but not overly tight fit. Utilize the Adifit insole measuring tool to confirm the correct size, or consider a different size if the current one is genuinely too small.
Traction is not as expected on wet surfaces
While the Traxion outsole provides good grip, extreme wetness can reduce traction for any shoe. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris, as this can affect performance. For very slick conditions, proceed with caution.
Difficulty in securing laces
Ensure laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Practice lacing techniques with the child to ensure they can tie and untie them securely. If laces are worn, consider replacing them.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These hiking shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied securely but not too tightly to allow for comfortable foot movement.
Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, trail walking, and general outdoor play. Compatible with various types of outdoor clothing for children.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before long-term storage to prevent mold or odors.
