FAQs
How do I use the adiFIT measuring tool?
Have your child stand with their heel against the back of the shoe. The front edge of their longest toe should align with or be slightly before the printed line on the sockliner. If it extends past the line, the shoe is likely too big.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The product description does not specify RAIN.RDY or Gore-Tex, indicating they are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. They offer protection against light moisture but may not be suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or deep puddles.
What is the stack height and midsole drop?
The shoes have a stack height of 20 mm at the heel and 12 mm at the forefoot, resulting in a midsole drop of 8 mm. This configuration supports a natural foot motion.
Can these shoes be used for everyday wear?
While durable and comfortable, their design is optimized for hiking and outdoor activities. They can be worn casually, but their features are best utilized on trails.
What is the weight of the shoes?
Each shoe weighs approximately 193.25 grams, making them relatively lightweight for a hiking boot, contributing to less fatigue during activity.
Do these shoes contain recycled content?
Yes, the shoes contain at least 20% recycled content, reflecting a commitment to sustainability in their manufacturing.
How should I clean the synthetic overlays?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the synthetic material.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Utilize the adiFIT measuring tool to check the fit. Adjust lacing accordingly. If still uncomfortable, consider a different size or width if available.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Traxion outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For very slippery conditions, exercise caution. The outsole is designed for optimal grip but may have limitations on extremely slick surfaces.
Foot discomfort after a hike
Verify the fit using the adiFIT tool. Ensure socks are appropriate for hiking. Allow feet to rest and recover. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks if they are new.
Difficulty lacing securely
Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets correctly. Pull laces evenly to secure the foot without overtightening. Practice lacing techniques if needed.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- May require careful fitting due to the adiFIT tool, which might be unfamiliar to some.
- Synthetic overlays, while durable, might offer less flexibility than all-textile uppers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. The primary setup involves ensuring the correct fit using the integrated adiFIT measuring tool. Insert the child's foot into the shoe, and the printed line on the sockliner should align with the child's longest toe. Adjust lacing for a secure, comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Suitable for general hiking, walking, and trail exploration. Compatible with various types of outdoor terrain, from light trails to moderate woodland paths.
Care: To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt from the upper and outsole. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Ensure the shoes are air-dried away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials and construction. Regularly check the laces and eyelets for wear.
