FAQs
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
Use the included adiFIT® measuring tool to accurately measure your child's foot length. Compare this measurement to the shoe's sizing chart. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These hiking shoes are designed for water resistance but are not fully waterproof. They offer protection against splashes and light moisture, but prolonged immersion in water may lead to wetness.
What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning, absorbing shock from impact and offering comfort during extended periods of wear, reducing foot fatigue.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred cleaning method.
What does 'contains at least 20% recycled content' mean?
This indicates that a significant portion of the shoe's materials, such as parts of the upper or sole, are made from recycled waste materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.
Are these suitable for very rough or rocky terrain?
The Traxion outsole offers good grip, but these shoes are primarily designed for light to moderate trails. For very rough or technical terrain, consider a more specialized hiking boot.
What is the purpose of the synthetic overlays?
The synthetic overlays provide added durability and structure to the textile upper, protecting the shoe from abrasion and supporting the foot in key areas during hiking.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Utilize the adiFIT® measuring tool for an accurate fit assessment. Adjust lacing for a snugger or looser feel. Ensure the correct size is selected.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
The Traxion outsole provides good grip, but performance may vary on extremely wet or slippery conditions. Clean the outsole of mud or debris to maximize grip. These shoes are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.
Discomfort after wearing.
Ensure the shoes are broken in properly. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation. Verify the correct size and fit.
