Hiking shoes adidas Terrex Ax4R RAIN.RDY - Blue - UK 6.5

The RAIN.RDY technology provides waterproofness, which also offers some warmth, but these are primarily designed as hiking shoes for comfort and grip in varied conditions, not insulated winter boots.

Use the included Adifit insole measuring tool. Place the child's foot on the insole and check if their longest toe aligns with the front marking. There should be a little room for growth, but not so much that the foot slides around.

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the waterproof membrane and affect the adhesives. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.

RAIN.RDY is adidas's technology that ensures your feet stay dry. It uses waterproof materials and seam-sealed construction to block out water.

While they offer good grip and cushioning, they are specifically designed as hiking shoes. For dedicated running, sport-specific running shoes would be more appropriate.

Using recycled and renewable materials helps reduce waste and decreases our dependence on finite resources, contributing to a more sustainable production process.

Ensure the shoe's tongue is properly positioned to seal out water. Check for any visible damage to the RAIN.RDY membrane or seams. Allow shoes to dry completely and consider reapplying a waterproofing treatment.

Clean the outsole tread to remove any accumulated mud or debris. If wear is significant, the tread may be worn down, indicating it's time for a new pair.

Re-check the sizing using the Adifit insole tool. Ensure socks are appropriate for hiking and do not create pressure points. Break in the shoes with shorter walks before attempting long hikes.
