FAQs
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
Place the shoe sole-down on a flat surface. Have your child stand on the insole so their longest toe touches the front. A small gap (approx. a finger's width) between the end of their toe and the end of the insole indicates a good fit, guided by the adiFIT® mark.
Are these shoes waterproof?
This specific model (AX4R MID) is designed for hiking and general outdoor use with a textile upper. While they offer some resistance, they are not fully waterproof unless explicitly stated as RAIN.RDY. For guaranteed waterproofing, look for models with RAIN.RDY technology.
What is the benefit of the mid-cut design?
The mid-cut design provides additional ankle support and protection, which is beneficial for children navigating uneven or challenging terrain, helping to prevent twists and sprains.
How do I clean the shoes?
Gently brush off loose dirt. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What does '20% recycled content' mean?
It signifies that at least one-fifth of the shoe's materials are derived from recycled sources, contributing to a reduction in waste and a more sustainable manufacturing process.
What activities are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are ideal for hiking, walking on trails, general outdoor exploration, and casual wear where good grip and comfort are needed.
What is the purpose of the gusseted tongue?
A gusseted tongue is attached to the sides of the shoe, creating a barrier that helps prevent dirt, pebbles, and water from entering the shoe, while also improving comfort by reducing friction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Utilize the adiFIT® measuring tool on the sockliner for accurate sizing. Adjust lacing for a secure but comfortable fit. Consider different sock thicknesses.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
The Traxion outsole is designed for multi-directional grip, but performance can be affected by extreme wetness or specific surface types. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud and debris.
Difficulty lacing securely
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Tighten gradually from the bottom up for a snug fit. Double knot laces to prevent loosening during activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
