FAQs
How do I use the adiFIT measuring tool?
Place the child's foot on the sockliner with the heel against the back. The mark indicating the correct size should align with the tip of the child's longest toe. If the toe extends beyond the mark, the size is too small. If there is excessive space, the size might be too large.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproof features. They are made with textile and synthetic materials, offering some resistance but are not designed for submersion in water.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 193.25 grams.
What is the midsole drop?
The midsole drop is 8 mm, with a stack height of 20 mm at the heel and 12 mm at the forefoot.
Can adults wear these shoes?
These shoes are specifically designed for kids ('kids' age group), and sizing is based on children's foot measurements. While adults might fit some smaller sizes, they are not optimized for adult biomechanics or sizing standards.
How much recycled content is in these shoes?
The shoes contain at least 20% recycled content, contributing to sustainability efforts.
What type of outsole do these shoes have?
They feature a Traxion outsole, designed for optimal grip in all directions on various surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot if necessary. Check for excessive wear on the laces.
Foot discomfort or blisters
Verify the correct size using the adiFIT tool and ensure the lacing provides a snug but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before a long hike.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole treads to remove accumulated mud or debris. The Traxion outsole provides grip on most surfaces but may have limitations on extremely slick or icy conditions.
Material showing wear after a few uses
Inspect for excessive abrasion. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (hiking) and not for rougher activities like trail running or climbing, which can cause premature wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These hiking shoes require no assembly. Ensure the correct size is selected using the adiFIT measuring tool printed on the sockliner for an accurate fit. Lace them up securely before each use.
Compatibility:
These shoes are designed for general hiking and outdoor activities. They are compatible with various types of outdoor clothing and weather conditions typically encountered during light to moderate hikes.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent odors or material degradation.
