Let’s find the rainbow

Stability and Response

Let’s run and jump! A good kids’ shoe is designed with the movement and behaviour of a typical child in mind. Growing kids move up, over, under and through all types of terrain all the time, and need a shoe construction that can respond to virtually any circumstance and support them as they learn about the world around them and what they themselves are capable of. The shoe has a role to play in helping support that growth.

Viking has been using natural rubber soles for much of the last century. Rubber remains supple and responsive in a broad range of temperatures and is therefore perfect for kids’ shoes throughout the seasons.

Natural Rubber & Durability

Let’s get into nature! Natural rubber is the pure product of the rubber tree, and benefits from natural properties of flexibility and durability compared to synthetic rubber compounds. We embrace the use of natural rubber, not just for our signature rubber boots but in hiking shoes as well as across our range. In addition to being highly resistant to wear, the natural rubber compound we use is 30% lighter than standard rubber, providing light comfort to the feet of adults and children alike.

Inside the results

The test was performed by Norwegian magazine ‘Parents & Children (Foreldre og Barn) and this is what the test results said: The boot has a good height and is a great fit. They are also easy to put on and pull off. During play, the boots stay on firmly. With good stability and grip, they support all kinds of play. The shaft is just the right height and combined with rain-pants they will keep your child nice and dry. This is the best boot in this test!

Stability

The soles and shafts of the boots were bent in different directions and measured for resistance in order to determine the quality of their support and stability.

Grip

The boots were put through traction tests on wet tile flooring to measure friction and to determine the value of surface contact of the outsole to the ground.
