SOLE GRIP
The grip of our soles is certified.
To qualify, the shoe must pass laboratory tests to evaluate the grip coefficient (0.6 for this model) on different surfaces (smooth, rough, dry, wet).
To approve these tests, we then have the quality of our soles evaluated in the field, in the mountains, by a panel of child testers.
WHICH SIZE TO CHOOSE
When hiking, don't hesitate to choose a size larger than your child's usual shoe size. This will ensure optimum comfort on the descent, and prevent toes from digging into the shoe's bottom. Tip: keep your child's fingernails short and, before going downhill, check that the Velcro and/or laces are properly fastened to prevent the foot from sliding forward.
SHOPPING TIPS
Have your child try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks used for hiking. Two points of comfort should be checked: the heel seat and the forefoot when descending. Avoid compression points when trying on shoes. Have your child use the shoes progressively during the first few hikes, so that they fit their feet.
On the Internet, you can print out the perimeter and check the length of your child's foot: https://pdfcoffee.com/pedimetreuepdf-pdf-free.html
