Our designers have developed this shoe so that children can hit the trails in all kinds of weather.
Sole grip
The grip of our soles is certified.To be awarded certification, the boots must pass laboratory tests to assess the grip rate on different surfaces (Smooth, Rugged, Dry, Wet).To validate these tests, we also assess the quality of our soles on the field, in the mountains, by a panel of young testers.
Waterproofing test
Tested both in the lab and real-world usage, this footwear guarantees optimum waterproofing and breathability. First, the shoe is immersed in water while internal air pressure is applied to check that no bubbles form on the surface of the footwear. Next, the boots are fitted to a mechanical arm that simulates walking, half immersed in water so we can test that the inside remains perfectly dry. For this model, the test lasted the equivalent of 8 km under the conditions mentioned above.
Making waterproofing last longer
A shoe's waterproofing is often undermined by water getting in from the top of the shoe. To keep your feet dry for longer, it is therefore advisable to use a waterproof gaiter or mini-gaiter that will prevent water as well as pebbles, sand, etc. from getting inside through the top. It is advisable to use a waterproof spray several times a year. This restores the original water-repellent properties and prevents staining.
Which size should I select?
For hiking, don't hesitate to get one size larger than your child's usual shoe size. This will ensure optimal comfort on the way down and prevent the toes from banging against the shoe. Tip: keep nails short and, before any descent, check that the Velcro and/or laces are properly fastened to prevent the foot from slipping forward in the shoe.
Buying Tips
Allow children to try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks worn for hiking. Check two comfort points: the base of the heel and the front part of the foot going down. Avoid all pressure points when trying shoes on. Gradually start using you shoes during your first few hiking trips to break them in.On the internet, you can print the outline and check the foot length: https://pdfcoffee.com/pedimetreuepdf-pdf-free.html
REMOVABLE INSOLE
Removable insole for faster drying. It can also be replaced by an orthopaedic insole.
