How is the grip defined on the NH500 MID TW BOY children's shoe?
The grip of our soles is certified.
To qualify, the NH500 MID TW BOY children's hiking boot must pass laboratory tests to evaluate the grip coefficient 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.
How to choose the right size for the NH500 MID TW BOY children's hiking boot?
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.
How can I be sure that the NH500 MID TW BOY hiking boot is right for my child?
Have your child try on both shoes, standing up, wearing the socks used for hiking.
Two points of comfort should be checked: the seat of the heel and the front of the foot on descents. Avoid any compression points when trying them on.
We also recommend that you gradually introduce your child to the NH500 MID TW BOY hiking boots during the first few hikes. This way, they'll get used to his feet.
Is the insole of the NH500 MID TW BOY removable?
The insole of the NH500 MID TW BOY children's shoe is removable for faster drying. It can also be replaced by an orthopedic insole.
