Main Material

Certified sole grip. 
To earn certification, the shoes must pass lab tests to assess their grip on different surfaces (smooth, rough, dry, wet). 
These tests are validated by a panel of testers who evaluate the quality of our soles out in the mountains across 500 km (311 miles).

Sole grip

Tested both in the lab and in the field, the waterproofing and breathability of this footwear are guaranteed. The shoe is first immersed in water while internal air pressure is applied to check that no bubbles form on its surface. Next, the shoes are fitted to a mechanical arm that simulates walking, half immersed in water to ensure that the inside remains perfectly dry.
For this model, the test lasted the equivalent of 8 km (5 miles) under the conditions mentioned above.

Waterproofing test

A shoe’s waterproofing is often undermined by water getting in from the top of the shoe. To keep your feet drier for longer, we recommend using waterproof gaiters or mini-gaiters to keep out water, pebbles, mud, sand, etc. The shoes’ waterproof treatment will eventually wear off. You’ll need to apply a waterproofing spray several times a year.

Making waterproofing last longer

For hiking, it’s best to go one size up from your child’s usual shoe size. This will ensure optimal comfort on the way down and prevent the toes from hitting the end the shoe. Tip: keep toenails short and, before any descent, check that the straps and/or laces are properly fastened to prevent the foot from slipping forward in the shoe.

What size should I choose?

Allow children to try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks they will be wearing while hiking. Check two comfort points: the base of the heel and the front part of the foot while standing on a downward incline. Avoid all pressure points when trying shoes on.
Break your shoes in gradually during your first few hikes.
