FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Traxion outsole?
The Traxion outsole is designed to provide maximum grip in all directions, which helps children maintain stability and confidence on various types of terrain, including wet, dry, and loose surfaces.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
You can use the printed adiFIT® measuring tool on the sockliner to check the foot length. Always ensure there is a little room for growth, and that the shoe feels snug but not restrictive when laced up.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These shoes are designed for general outdoor use and offer some water resistance due to their materials. However, they are not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water.
What does 'Contains at least 20% recycled content' mean?
This indicates that a significant portion of the materials used in the construction of the shoe has been derived from recycled sources, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
How should I clean the shoes?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
What is the stack height and midsole drop?
The stack height is 20 mm at the heel and 12 mm at the forefoot, resulting in a midsole drop of 8 mm. This provides a balance of cushioning and ground feel.
Can these shoes be used for everyday wear?
Yes, while designed for hiking, their comfortable fit and supportive design make them suitable for general everyday wear and active play.
Troubleshooting
Laces keep coming undone
Ensure laces are tied using a secure double knot. If laces are old or worn, consider replacing them with new, grippier laces.
Feet feel uncomfortable after a hike
Check if the shoes are the correct size using the adiFIT® tool and ensure the lacing provides adequate support without being too tight. Consider using thicker hiking socks for added cushioning.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any mud or debris that may be clogging the tread pattern. Ensure the shoes are properly broken in; new shoes may have less grip initially.
Upper material showing signs of wear
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For minor scuffs on synthetic overlays, a soft brush can help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no specific setup beyond lacing them up. The adiFIT® measuring tool (printed on the sockliner) can be used to ensure an accurate fit before purchase or as a child's foot grows. Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight to maintain comfort and circulation.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for hiking and general outdoor use. They are compatible with most standard outdoor clothing and gear.
Care: To clean, remove loose dirt with a brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the upper and midsole. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
