FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
These shoes are designed for hiking and outdoor activities, offering water resistance. However, they are not fully waterproof and may not keep feet dry in prolonged submersion or heavy rain.
What is the main advantage of the Traxion outsole?
The Traxion outsole provides excellent grip and traction on a variety of surfaces, helping to prevent slips and ensure stability during outdoor activities.
How do I know the correct size for my child?
Refer to the size chart provided by adidas and measure your child's foot. Ensure there is a small amount of growing room, typically about a finger's width.
Can these shoes be used for running?
While they offer good grip and support, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For dedicated running activities, running-specific shoes are recommended.
What does 'at least 20% recycled content' mean?
It means that a significant portion of the shoe's materials has been reclaimed and repurposed, reducing waste and the environmental impact of production.
How durable are these shoes for rough play?
They are built with durable materials to withstand typical outdoor play and hiking conditions. However, extreme abuse may still lead to wear and tear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
Allow a break-in period of a few short walks. Ensure laces are tied correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Traxion outsole is clean and free of mud or debris. The outsole is designed for grip, but performance can be affected by accumulated dirt.
Laces come undone frequently
Re-tie the laces using a secure double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a pair that has better grip if this persists.
