FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
These shoes are water-resistant due to their materials but not fully waterproof. They are designed for general outdoor use and light moisture.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Use the adiFIT® measuring tool printed on the sockliner. Place the child's foot on the insole and check if their longest toe aligns with the fit indicator.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the adhesives and materials. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the benefit of the Traxion outsole?
The Traxion outsole provides multi-directional grip, ensuring stability and security on varied and challenging terrain.
What does 'midsole drop' mean?
The midsole drop is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. An 8mm drop indicates a moderate drop, offering a balance between cushioning and ground feel.
How much recycled content is in these shoes?
These shoes contain at least 20% recycled content in their construction, contributing to adidas' commitment to sustainability.
Are these suitable for very young children who can't tie their own laces?
While the laces provide a secure fit, younger children may require assistance to tie and untie them. Ensure laces are securely fastened to prevent tripping hazards.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure laces are tied with a secure double knot. Consider replacing laces with a grippier material if the problem persists.
Foot feels damp after use.
Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Allow shoes to dry completely between uses by air-drying them away from heat.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.
Clean the Traxion outsole of any mud or debris. The outsole's effectiveness may be reduced on extremely wet or icy surfaces.
Shoe feels too tight or too loose.
Refer to the adiFIT® measuring tool for an accurate fit guide. Adjust lacing tension as needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied securely using a double knot for added safety. Use the adiFIT® measuring tool printed on the sockliner to confirm the fit: a child's longest toe should be about a finger's width away from the end of the insole.
Compatibility: Suitable for light to moderate hiking, walking, and general outdoor play. They are designed to be worn with typical athletic socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Wipe down the upper and midsole with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.

- Laces: Check laces regularly for wear and tear. Wash them separately if heavily soiled.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
