How is the grip of the NH500 KID boots defined ?
The grip of our soles is certified.
To be awarded certification, the children’s NH500 KID hiking boots must pass laboratory tests to assess their grip coefficient 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.
How to choose the size of the NH500 Kid children's hiking shoe?
For hiking, don't hesitate to get one size larger than your child's usual shoe size. This will ensure optimal comfort on the way down and prevent the toes from banging against the shoe. Tip: keep their nails short and, before any descent, check that the Velcro and/or laces are properly fastened to prevent their foot from slipping forward in the boot.
How can I be sure that the NH500 Kid hiking shoes are suitable for my child?
Allow children to try on both shoes, standing up, with the socks worn for hiking. Check two comfort points: the base of the heel and the front part of the foot going down. Avoid all pressure points when trying them on.
We advise you to gradually use the NH500 KID hiking shoes for your first few tours. That way, they will adapt to their feet.
Is the insole of the children's NH500 Kid hiking shoes removable?
The insole of the NH500 KID children's boot is removable for faster drying. It can also be replaced by an orthopaedic insole.
