FAQs
How do I use the adiFIT measuring tool?
The adiFIT tool is printed on the sockliner. Have your child stand on the insole (if removable) or the shoe's footbed with their heel to the back. Check the markings to ensure their longest toe is within the designated fit area, allowing for slight growth without compromising support.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description does not specify waterproof features. They are designed for general hiking and outdoor use with a textile upper and synthetic overlays, offering some protection but not full waterproofing. For very wet conditions, consider RAIN.RDY models if available.
What is the weight of these shoes?
Each shoe weighs approximately 193.25 grams, making them lightweight for young adventurers.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these hiking shoes. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap, followed by air drying, is the preferred method to maintain the shoe's integrity and materials.
What does 'midsole drop' mean?
The midsole drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. A drop of 8mm (with a stack height of 20mm at the heel and 12mm at the forefoot) is a moderate drop, common in trail running and hiking shoes, offering a balance between cushioning and ground feel.
How much recycled material is in these shoes?
These shoes contain at least 20% recycled content, contributing to adidas's commitment to reducing waste and reliance on finite resources.
What is the Traxion outsole?
The Traxion outsole is a type of rubber sole designed with multi-directional lugs to provide maximum grip and stability on a variety of surfaces, especially uneven or slippery terrain.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or too loose.
Utilize the adiFIT measuring tool to confirm the correct size. Adjust the lace closure for a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the child is wearing the type of socks they typically use for hiking.
Traction seems poor on wet surfaces.
While the Traxion outsole offers good grip, extremely slick surfaces may still present challenges. Ensure the outsole is free of mud or debris that could impede traction. For consistently wet conditions, consider specialized waterproof footwear.
Child complains of foot discomfort after use.
Re-check the fit using the adiFIT tool. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly or too loosely. Consider the type of socks being worn and the duration of the activity. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before longer hikes.
Upper material appears dirty after a hike.
Gently clean the textile upper and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry completely.
