FAQs
How do I ensure my child has the correct size?
The shoes feature an integrated adiFIT(R) measuring tool printed on the sockliner. Have your child stand on the sockliner, and their toes should not go past the front marking. Ensure they are wearing the type of socks they would typically hike in.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description does not explicitly state these shoes are waterproof. They are designed with a textile upper and synthetic overlays, and feature a gusseted tongue which helps keep some debris out, but they may not be suitable for prolonged submersion in water.
What is the benefit of the Traxion outsole?
The Traxion outsole is engineered with lugs designed to provide maximum grip in all directions. This enhances stability and confidence on varied terrain, including slippery or uneven surfaces.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Cleaning should be done with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, followed by air drying.
What does 'midsole drop' mean?
The midsole drop refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. An 8mm drop indicates a relatively moderate drop, suitable for many hiking activities.
What is the weight of one shoe?
The weight of a single shoe is approximately 193.25 grams.
Are these shoes suitable for very young children?
The shoe is available in kids' sizes, including smaller UK sizes, making it suitable for children who are beginning to hike or engage in outdoor activities, provided they have the correct fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause discomfort.
Check the fit using the adiFIT(R) tool. Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring no pressure points. Consider if thicker socks are being used.
Traction is poor on a specific surface.
The Traxion outsole is designed for multi-directional grip. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris that could impede traction. For extremely slick surfaces, caution is still advised.
Debris entering the shoe.
Ensure the laces are tied securely, and the gusseted tongue is properly positioned. If persistent, consider using gaiters for particularly rough terrain.
Shoe shows signs of wear quickly.
Inspect the areas of wear for potential causes, such as rubbing against rough surfaces or improper sizing leading to excessive friction. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose.
