Are you going hiking this summer? These hiking boots are the perfect choice for kids, with their lightweight and waterproof design and excellent grip for scrambling all over the place
Our designers, who are parents of young hikers, developed these kids’ MH120 MID boots for hiking in dry or rainy weather.
Sole grip
The grip of our soles is certified.
To be awarded certification, the boots must pass laboratory tests to assess the grip rate (0.6 for this model) on different surfaces (Smooth, Rugged, Dry, Wet).
To validate these tests, we also assess the quality of our soles on the field, in the mountains, by a panel of young testers.
Waterproofing test
Tested both in the lab and real-world usage, this footwear guarantees optimum waterproofing and breathability. To start, they are immersed in water with pressurized air inside to check that no bubbles form on the surface of the boot. Next, the boots are fitted to a mechanical arm that simulates walking and half immersed in water so we can test that the inside remains perfectly dry.
For this model, the test lasted the equivalent of 2.5 miles under the conditions mentioned above.
Making waterproofing last longer
A boot’s waterproofing is often undermined by water getting in from the top of the boot. Using waterproof gaiters or mini gaiters is therefore recommended to keep your feet dry for longer by protecting the top part of your boots and prevent water from getting in as well as pebbles, sand, etc.
Use of a re-waterproofing spray is recommended several times per year. This will help your boots recover their original water-repellent qualities and combat outer stains.
Which size should I select
For hiking, do not hesitate to buy 1 size larger than the usual size to guarantee excellent comfort on the descent and to avoid toes rubbing at the tip of the boot. Tip: Keep your toenails short, and before going downhill at any time, check that your laces are tight enough to stop your feet slipping down toward the front of the boots.
Buying tips
Allow kids to try on both boots, standing up, with the socks worn for hiking. Check 2 comfort points: the base of the heel and the front part of the foot going down. Avoid all pressure points when trying boots on.
Gradually start using your boots during your first few hiking trips to break them in. You can find and print the pedometer and check the kid’s foot length.
Removable Insole
Removable insole for faster drying. It can also be replaced by an orthopedic insole.
