FAQs
What age group are these shoes intended for?
These shoes are designed for kids, with a focus on children's foot development and activity levels.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
The shoes feature an adiFIT(R) measuring tool printed on the sockliner. Place your child's foot inside the shoe and check if their longest toe is approximately a thumb's width away from the front edge.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes have a textile upper with synthetic overlays and are not fully waterproof. They are designed for general outdoor use and light trails, offering some resistance to light moisture but not full submersion.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
They are ideal for light trails, park paths, and general outdoor play. The Traxion outsole provides good grip on various surfaces.
How much do these shoes weigh?
Each shoe weighs approximately 193.25 grams, making them lightweight for children.
Can these shoes be used for advanced hiking?
While they offer good traction and comfort for general use, they are not designed for technical or advanced hiking that requires significant ankle support. For such activities, a more robust hiking boot would be recommended.
What is the midsole drop and stack height?
The shoes have a midsole drop of 8 mm, with a stack height of 20 mm at the heel and 12 mm at the forefoot.
Are these shoes environmentally friendly?
Yes, they are made with at least 20% recycled content, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the lace tension. Use the adiFIT(R) measuring tool on the sockliner to verify if the size is correct for your child's foot. If consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different size.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Traxion outsole is clean and free of mud or debris. For significantly wet conditions, consider the limitations of the shoe's tread pattern and ensure the child walks carefully.
Materials appear dirty after use
Gently clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing.
