1) It is a perfect trek buddy for kids to handle all sorts of terrain that you might face outdoors, from scree to slush. The material used to make the shoes is built to last mud, slush, snow, pebbles, slides and scratches. 

2) It has a moderate waterproof rating which means that it can resist  light showers. We have used it on our treks in monsoon season and this one has proved to be a reliable pair of shoes for light showers. Though its performance dips a bit in winter treks when you are mostly all the time in the snow. 

3) The outsole of the shoe, which is basically the bottom part of the shoes which makes contact with the ground, is an important factor in deciding how confident you are going to be on the trails. This model comes with CrossContact sole design which helps in getting traction on slush/snow/rocks and scree.

4) Perfect ankle length of the shoe which supports the ankle on uneven terrain but is not an irritant or uncomfortable on long sunny days. It helps minimize the chances of ankle sprain injuries which are quite common on treks.
