FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the name includes 'RAIN.RDY' in some variants, the primary description indicates a textile upper with synthetic overlays. These shoes offer water resistance for light moisture but are not fully waterproof. For extremely wet conditions, consider dedicated waterproof hiking boots.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
Use the adiFIT(R) measuring tool printed on the sockliner. Trace your child's foot on paper and compare it to the markings. Ensure there is a little room for growth, but not so much that the foot slides excessively.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for light to moderate hiking trails, including dirt paths, gravel, and moderately rocky terrain. The Traxion outsole provides good grip on varied surfaces.
Can these shoes be used for everyday wear?
Yes, their comfortable design and supportive features make them suitable for everyday wear, especially for children who are active and enjoy outdoor activities.
How often should I clean the shoes?
Clean the shoes as needed, especially after significant exposure to dirt or mud. Regular brushing to remove loose dirt will help maintain their appearance and performance.
What is the difference between the MID and non-MID versions?
The 'MID' designation typically refers to a mid-cut height, providing more ankle support and protection compared to low-cut shoes. The AX4R MID version offers this enhanced ankle coverage.
Do these shoes contain recycled materials?
Yes, these shoes contain at least 20% recycled content in their construction, aligning with sustainability efforts.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the laces for a more secure or relaxed fit. Use the adiFIT(R) tool to check if the size is appropriate for the child's foot. Consider thicker or thinner socks depending on the fit.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Ensure the Traxion outsole is free from excessive mud or debris. Check for wear on the outsole tread; if significantly worn, replacement may be necessary.
Discomfort during long hikes
Ensure the shoes are adequately broken in. Verify the lacing technique provides support without constricting blood flow. Consider if the EVA midsole cushioning is sufficient for the terrain and duration.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as they can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
