FAQs
How do I use the adiFIT measuring tool?
The adiFIT tool is printed on the sockliner inside the shoe. When the child stands with their foot flat, the longest toe should align with the measurement mark. This helps verify if the shoe provides adequate space.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes feature a textile upper and are not advertised as waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. For heavy rain, waterproof options or gear are recommended.
What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning, helping to absorb shock and provide comfort during extended wear on varied terrain.
How do I clean dirt from the textile upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, followed by a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild soap and water solution can be applied gently. Ensure to air dry the shoes afterwards.
What does 'Midsole drop: 8 mm' mean?
The midsole drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. An 8 mm drop indicates a moderate drop, supporting a natural foot transition during walking and running.
Can adults wear these shoes?
These shoes are specifically designed and sized for children. While the construction is robust, the sizing and fit are optimized for young feet.
What is the purpose of the synthetic overlays?
The synthetic overlays are strategically placed to reinforce key areas of the textile upper, providing extra durability, support, and protection against abrasion on the trail.
Troubleshooting
Fit seems too tight/loose.
Utilize the adiFIT measuring tool to confirm correct sizing. Adjust lace tension for a more personalized fit. Ensure socks worn are of typical hiking thickness.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the Traxion outsole is clean of mud and debris. For significantly wet conditions, consider slower movement and testing footing carefully.
Water ingress.
These shoes are not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider waterproof hiking socks or alternative footwear. Allow shoes to dry thoroughly after exposure to moisture.
