| How is the grip of the NH500 kids’ boot defined? |
The grip of our soles is certified.
To be awarded certification, the NH500 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 kids’ hiking boot |
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 hiking boots 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 recommend you gradually wear in the NH500 hiking boots during their first few hikes. That way, they will adapt to their feet. |
| Is the insole of the kids’ NH500 hiking boots removable? |
The insole of the NH120 TW GIRL's boot is removable for faster drying. It can also be replaced by an orthopaedic insole. |
