Arpenaz 50 Children’s Hiking Boots - Yellow

Sole grip

The sole design is the product of a lengthy research process conducted in our laboratories, combined with a special rubber formulation to optimise grip and traction. As requirements are not the same, we systematically search for the best compromise for use on muddy as well as dry terrain.

Buying tips

Get your child to try on both boots, 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. It’s a good idea to get your child to walk around the store. Gradually get your child to wear their shoes during your first few hiking trips to break them in.

On the internet, you can print the pedometer and check your child’s foot length.

What size should I choose?

For hiking, try taking one shoe size up from your usual to ensure optimum comfort when going downhill and to prevent your toes from hitting the toe box. Tip: keep your nails short and, before making your descent, check that your lacing prevents your foot from sliding towards the front of the boot.

Field test

The comfort of all our shoes is tested when trying them on and in use by typical users under the real-life conditions you will encounter in use. Our Mission Tests bring together the product manager with people who are not affiliated with Quechua to test, develop and approve the products.

Laboratory test

Other laboratory tests are also conducted to validate the following elements: secure attachment of eyelets and straps, assembly, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion of the sole and upper components, accelerated ageing.
