User questions & answers

Question:	I almost bought these, but then I saw that they say “fashion” on the sides. Please tell me they don’t actually have the word “fashion” on them
Answer:	These are children's sizes. If should be able to choose "Little Kid" or "Big Kid" to show the size options available. Most likely a 5 year old would fall under the "Little Kid" shoe size category. For example, my 7yo wears a "Little Kid" 13 (also called a toddler 13 at some stores).
Question:	I wear a 10.5. Would getting an 11 be okay or too large
Answer:	The shoe description only says "lace up", I don't think any of the styles are bungee laces. Search for "slip on" sneakers.
Question:	Do these shoes have thin soles
Answer:	New Balance does not label shoes sizes as "toddler". The "Little Kid" sizes refer to standard toddler sizes up to 13, and then to youth 3. The "Big Kid" sizes start at a youth 4.
Question:	Does anyone knows if these shoes are to wash and dry in the machine
Answer:	No laces. My grandson slips the shoes on and they stay on all day. Love them!

User questions & answers

Question:	It says these are hiking shoes. Do they work well for running and everday use
Answer:	These hiking shoes are water resistant. Pretty breathable and comfort. Good for walking, hiking and trekking.
Question:	My daughter has very high arches, do thes shoes have great arch support
Answer:	Thank you for Anna and tess's answers. For the size chart, "9 US - Suitable for Size 10-10.5" means that 9 US is manufacturer's size, and it is suitable for your usual size 10-10.5. If you need a 9, then please order 8 US - suitable for 9W/9.5. Any inquiries? Feel free to contact me.
Question:	Do all sizes of the big kid shoes have velcro, or do they turn into tie shoes at some size
Answer:	It's been a while since I bought mine, but if I remember right, do a search by typing in the name of the shoe and add the word "wide".
Question:	Is it waterproof, please
Answer:	If you have the waterproof type, they do not have good air flow because of the waterproofing material. If you have the ones that are not waterproof then they do have great air flow. I have both kinds and the waterproof ones are super for cooler weather. The non-waterproof are equally super for warmer weather, I love both of them!

User questions & answers

Question:	How high is the ankle? And how stiff is the foot bed (shank); does the boot bend easily

KEEN.DRY Waterproof

• Don’t sweat the tough stuff.
• Push your limits with the help of KEEN.DRY, a waterproof, breathable membrane that lets vapor out without letting water in.

Environmentally Preferred Leather

• Tanning leather is a dirty process.
• Traditional tanneries use a ton of water and leave a lot of chemicals after the fact.
• So we source our leather from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group.
• They use a closed-loop system that reduces water use and energy use—and completely eliminates wastewater pollution.

PFC-Free Construction

• PFCs (perfluorinated chemicals) are used everywhere in the outdoor industry.
• They create a dense coating on fabrics; water beads up instead of soaking in.
• They’re durable, and they do a good job. However, they’re also suspected carcinogens and break down very slowly.
• So we switched to nontoxic, alternatives that are just as effective, yet safe.
• Today we are over 95% PFC-free.

• Rubber sole
• ➤Breathable:Soft Knit Mesh Upper Design,Protective Cap And Heel Stabilizer,Always Keep Your Feet Dry And Comfortable.
• ➤Slip-resistant:Rubber Outsole With Anti-skid TPR Patch Design Provides Traction And Conforming To Human Body Motion.

Question:	Would this shoe be good for wide feet
Answer:	Yes!! It’s work very well! My son use it every day for school and he is very confortable with them. This shoes are great!
Question:	Are they good for a day hike and are they slippery on wet surfaces
Answer:	Not sure but my kid is pretty skinny and I had high arches as a kid. Doesnt mean he does but these are great shoes. You cant ask for a sneaker that will outlast a kid at that age. They will grow out of them before the sole wears out or any other part of the shoe like so many of the other kids name brand sneakers do.
Question:	How long does a deliveryHow long does it take this product to arrive with Amazon prime
Answer:	All sizes we have gotten so a far are velcro.
Question:	So they have good arch support
Answer:	I would stay they are more water resistant than a normal tennis shoe. My son hasn’t gone through any significant water in them, but hasn’t had problems with his feet getting wet in them on a rainy day.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it keep the feet warm? For colder weathers
Answer:	As our hiking shoes are of normal width, please go up a size if you have wide foot.
Question:	Do these run wide or narrow
Answer:	I have not gotten them into water yet but this weekend may be an opportunity. They are advertised as water proof, but who knows.
Question:	How is the arch support in these
Answer:	I would say, “yes”, they are slip resistant, however I’ve not been walking/hiking over slippery ground. I can say that they are a solid shoe (for the price), and their soles do have grip and tread when I run my hands over them. How long that grip and tread lasts has yet to be determined. They do have a removable insole to replace with one with more support. I find that the more I feel supported inside a shoe, helps my ankles, calves, and body in general, respond better to external conditions. Stay safe!
Question:	I have an extra wide foot and I have a really hard time finding shoes / sneakers. Is there anything to compare the width to
Answer:	The hiking shoes for women is a bit small, so please purchase size 10.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the boot for warm weather
Answer:	Really depends on preference. The baits I sell work just as well as any other, however, the purpose of my baits are to provide the user the convenience of not having to see the mouse once it's trapped. Most prefer not to look at a dead mouse & enjoy the comfort my traps offer of being contained within the enclosure of a covered trap - especially if you have children or anyone in your household who may be a bit afraid of rodents. Hope this information helps you make a sound decision to serve your needs. Thank you for your consideration.
Question:	How wide are these boots? Are they just alittle or super wide
Answer:	In my experience instantly. I did have one escape somehow (they are VERY smart) but the trap snaps really fast and hard. I wouldn't use anything that would make them suffer. I have found that they aren't as effective for the smaller young ones. I use another trap for them. I wish I didn't have to kill any animal but I tried every other non-lethal method first but I swear they just laughed at me! They carry germs and other disgusting things so they have to go!
Question:	are they true to size
Answer:	I used these specifically for chipmunks. I got 7 the first day!! They work great!
Question:	I wore mine out on a hike and while rafting they got soaked. how should i dry them? i'm afraid if i put them in the dryer they'll shrink
Answer:	Also, I had written a negative review got an e-mail saying I was hurting their business and I took it down then the same review I wrote came on but written more positive.
