Product Information

Full details

The Vivobarefoot Tracker Boot AT is designed for adventurous kids who love exploring the outdoors. Its key benefit is offering a natural, barefoot feel with robust protection and waterproofing, allowing for freedom of movement. A potential caveat is the barefoot design, which may require an adjustment period for children not accustomed to such footwear. This boot features recycled materials, a high-grip outsole for excellent traction, and a cozy shearling insole for warmth.

FAQs

Are these boots suitable for children with wide feet?

Yes, Vivobarefoot shoes are known for their wide toe box, which accommodates natural foot splay and is generally suitable for children with wider feet.

How do I know if I've selected the correct size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the boot. The foot should not feel restricted, and toes should be able to wiggle freely.

What does 'barefoot' mean in relation to these boots?

The barefoot design means the boots have a zero drop (no heel elevation), a thin, flexible sole, and a wide toe box, mimicking the experience of walking barefoot while providing protection.

Can these boots be worn in very cold weather?

Yes, the shearling insole provides warmth, and the waterproof construction helps keep feet dry, making them suitable for cold weather conditions. Consider layering with appropriate socks for extreme cold.

How long do the waterproof properties last?

The initial waterproofing is durable, but regular use in wet conditions may require reapplication of a suitable waterproofing treatment over time to maintain optimal performance.

Are the materials used environmentally friendly?

The boots are made from recycled textiles and other sustainably sourced materials, reflecting Vivobarefoot's commitment to environmental responsibility.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff initially

This is common with new barefoot shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the materials to soften and conform to the foot.

Water seeping into the boots

Check that the toggle and drawstring collar are fully tightened. Ensure no damage to the boot's seams or materials. Reapply waterproofing treatment if necessary.

Difficulty pulling boots on

Use the integrated help loops. Ensure the toggle and drawstring are loosened before attempting to put the boot on.

Insole feels thin

The shearling insole is designed for warmth and a natural feel. If additional cushioning is desired, a thin, barefoot-friendly insole can be added, but this may alter the natural ground feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These boots are designed for immediate use. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal comfort and barefoot benefits. Adjust the elastic toggle and drawstring collar for a snug, secure fit that seals out elements.

Compatibility: The Tracker Boot AT is compatible with various outdoor activities and terrains. It is designed to work with a child's natural gait and foot movement. While not a medical device, the barefoot design supports natural foot development.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a brush. Wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  3. Waterproofing: For sustained water resistance, consider using a non-water-based waterproofing spray suitable for leather and textile footwear after cleaning and drying.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
