These waterproof shoes are perfect for your child as they are light and high top, and provide the good grip essential for when they are trekking all over the place\u003ch3\u003eSole grip\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grip of our soles is certified.\nTo be awarded certification, the shoes must pass laboratory tests to assess the grip rate (0.6 for this model) on different surfaces (Smooth, Rugged, Dry, Wet).\nTo validate these tests, we also assess the quality of our soles on the field, in the mountains, by a panel of young testers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWATERPROOF TEST\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTested 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.\n For this model, the test lasted the equivalent of 4 km under the conditions mentioned above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEXTEND WATERPROOFING\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA shoe's waterproofing is often undermined by water getting in from the top of the shoe. Using waterproof gaiters or mini gaiters is therefore recommended to keep your feet dry for longer by protecting the top part of your shoes and prevent water from getting in as well as pebbles, sand, etc.\nUse of a re-waterproofing spray is recommended several times per year. This will help your shoes recover their original water repellent qualities and combat outer stains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich size should I select\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBUYING TIPS\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow 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.\n 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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eREMOVABLE INSOLE\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemovable insole for faster drying.
