FAQs

How do I use the adiFIT insole tool?

Have your child stand on the removable sockliner. Ensure their longest toe does not extend beyond the front marking line. If it aligns with or slightly exceeds the front of the line, the shoe is likely too big. If there is ample space beyond the longest toe, the shoe may be too large. The ideal fit has the longest toe just before or at the front line.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?

While comfortable and durable, their mid-cut design and hiking-focused tread are best suited for outdoor activities. For regular school wear, a lower-profile shoe might be more practical.

How do I clean mud off the shoes?

Gently brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with cool water to wipe down the exterior. For stubborn mud on the outsole, use a soft brush with mild soap and water, then rinse and air dry.

What is the benefit of the mid-cut design?

The mid-cut design provides additional ankle support and helps to keep out dust, dirt, and small stones from the trail, enhancing comfort and protection during hikes.

How durable is the RAIN.RDY waterproofing?

The RAIN.RDY membrane is designed for durability and effectiveness in keeping feet dry. Regular cleaning and proper drying will help maintain its performance over time.

Can these shoes be worn in cold weather?

The shoes provide waterproofing and moderate insulation. For very cold or snowy conditions, consider adding warm socks. They are primarily designed for hiking in varied weather, including cool and wet conditions.

What does 'contains at least 20% recycled content' mean?

This means that at least 20% of the shoe's materials are derived from recycled sources, such as plastic bottles or manufacturing waste, reducing the need for virgin materials and minimizing environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet inside the shoes.

Ensure the RAIN.RDY membrane is intact. Check that laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top. If persistent, inspect for damage to the membrane or seams.

Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.

Utilize the adiFIT insole tool for an accurate fit assessment. Adjust lacing for a snug but not constricting feel. Ensure the correct size has been selected.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.

Clean the Traxion outsole with water to remove mud and debris that may impede grip. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for the terrain; excessive mud can affect any tread pattern.

Debris entering the shoe from the top.

Tighten the laces, ensuring they are secured through all eyelets. The mid-cut design helps, but very loose lacing can allow smaller debris in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproofing.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: The RAIN.RDY membrane is durable, but avoid submerging the shoes for extended periods. For stubborn stains, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and air drying.
