FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, these shoes feature adidas's RAIN.RDY technology, which is designed to be waterproof, keeping your child's feet dry in wet conditions like rain, puddles, and damp trails.
What kind of terrain are these hiking shoes best for?
Thanks to the Traxion outsole with forefoot flex grooves, these shoes provide excellent grip and stability, making them suitable for varied outdoor terrains including light hiking trails, uneven paths, grassy areas, and general outdoor play.
How do I use the Adifit length-measuring insole?
The Adifit insole can be removed from the shoe. Have your child stand on the insole. The markings on the insole will indicate if the shoe is the correct size, too small, or too large, helping you ensure the perfect fit.
Are these shoes durable enough for active kids?
Yes, they are built with a durable textile and synthetic upper, featuring abrasion-resistant overlays, specifically designed to withstand the rigors of active play and outdoor adventures.
How should I clean these shoes?
For best results, remove loose dirt, then wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What does the EVA midsole do?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight and responsive cushioning, absorbing impact and offering comfort for your child's feet during extended periods of walking, running, and playing outdoors.
Are these shoes environmentally friendly?
Yes, these shoes contain a minimum of 20% recycled and renewable content as part of adidas's commitment to reducing waste and environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
My child's feet are getting wet despite the RAIN.RDY feature.
Ensure laces are tied snugly to prevent water from entering over the top of the shoe. Check that socks are not wicking water from the outside in. For very deep puddles or heavy rain, consider using gaiters to cover the ankle opening.
The shoes feel uncomfortable or are causing blisters.
Use the Adifit length-measuring insole to re-check the shoe size. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate hiking socks that wick moisture and provide cushioning. Break in new shoes with shorter walks before longer hikes.
The grip on the outsole seems to be reduced.
Clean the Traxion outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud, small stones, or debris that might be impacting traction. Inspect the sole for excessive wear, especially if the shoes have been used extensively on abrasive surfaces.
Laces frequently come untied during activity.
Ensure laces are double-knotted or use a more secure lacing technique. You may also consider replacing worn or slippery laces with new ones designed for hiking shoes.
The shoes are making a squeaking noise.
A squeak can sometimes indicate moisture inside the shoe, or the insole rubbing against the bottom of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning the inside, and ensuring it's completely dry before reinserting. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can also help.

Care
To maintain the performance and longevity of your shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud by gently tapping the shoes together. For deeper cleaning, wipe the textile and synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive brushes that could damage the waterproof membrane or materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and compromise the waterproofing.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
- Insoles: The Adifit insole can be removed for cleaning or to check sizing. Hand wash the insole with mild soap if needed and allow it to air dry.
- Waterproofing: While the shoes feature RAIN.RDY technology, periodic reapplication of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray can further enhance water resistance, especially after prolonged use or cleaning (check product instructions for recommended sprays).
