adidas Trailmaker WP Jn63 - Grey - Black - Hiking Shoes - 4 UK

While durable and comfortable, their primary design is for outdoor activities. They can be worn for general school use, but their rugged features are best suited for active play and exploration.

Use the Adifit length-measuring insole. Have your child stand in the shoe and check the insole measurement guide. Ensure there is a little room for growth, but not so much that it compromises stability.

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

RAIN.RDY is adidas's technology designed to provide waterproof and breathable protection, keeping feet dry from the outside elements while allowing some moisture vapor to escape from the inside.

These Trailmaker 2 shoes offer enhanced waterproofing, superior grip with the TRAXION outsole, and a more supportive, durable construction specifically designed for hiking and outdoor adventures, unlike typical casual sneakers.

Each shoe weighs approximately 180 grams, contributing to their lightweight feel for active kids.

The midsole drop is 8.5 mm, with a heel height of 20.5 mm and a forefoot height of 12 mm. This provides a balanced feel for running and hiking.

This is normal for new hiking shoes. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration to allow the materials to soften and conform to the foot.

Ensure the shoe is properly laced to prevent water from entering around the ankle collar. Check for any tears or damage to the upper that might compromise waterproofing. Extreme prolonged submersion can eventually allow moisture in.

Clean the outsole of any mud, dirt, or debris that might be lodged in the tread. Worn-out treads can also reduce grip; inspect the outsole for significant wear.

Utilize the Adifit length-measuring insole. Have the child stand with their heel against the back of the shoe and check if their longest toe is near the end of the insole mark. Ensure the lace closure is snug but not overly tight.
