Main Material

Sole design that has been the subject of extensive research in our laboratories, combined with a specific rubber formulation to optimize grip and traction. Because all needs are different, we always strive for the best balance between muddy and dry terrain.

Sole grip

Let your child try on both boots, standing up, wearing their hiking socks. Try on several models or sizes if necessary. Check the following two areas of comfort: the heel and the front of the foot when going downhill. There should be no pressure points. Have your child walk around the store. Gradually increase the length of time they wear the shoes during initial walks to break the shoes in.

Purchasing advice

For hiking, consider choosing one size up from your usual size to ensure optimal comfort when heading downhill and to prevent your toes from hitting the front of the shoes. Advice: keep your nails short and, before heading downhill, check that your lacing prevents your feet from sliding towards the front of the shoes.

Which size should you choose?

The shoes' waterproofing is often compromised by water getting in from the collar. So to keep your feet dry longer, it's advisable to use waterproof gaiters or mini-gaiters that will keep out water as well as pebbles, sand, etc. Using a waterproofing spray several times a year is recommended. This restores the original water repellent properties and prevents staining.

Making waterproofing last longer

Footwear waterproofing test: lab- and field-tested, shoes with a breathable, waterproof membrane ensure optimal rain protection. The shoe is immersed in water while internal air pressure is applied to check that no bubbles form on its surface. They are half immersed while on a mechanical arm that simulates walking: we then check that the inside of the shoe remains perfectly dry.

Waterproofing test

During the waterproofing test, we test 3 levels of waterproofing, i.e. 2000 flexes (about 2 hours of walking), 4000 flexes (about 4 hours of walking), and 8000 flexes (about 8 hours of walking). The kids' Crossrock waterproof shoe is waterproof for 4000 flexes.
