Viking Aery Tau GTX 1V – Lightweight Waterproof Performance
The Viking Aery Tau GTX 1V is a premium, high-performance sneaker designed for children who need maximum comfort without compromising on weather protection. Available in both Low and Mid heights, this model features the world-renowned GORE-TEX membrane, ensuring feet stay 100% dry and comfortable during wet-weather adventures. Known for its "maximum cushioning" and sporty aesthetic, the Aery Tau is a top choice for active kids who require a shoe that can handle everything from the school playground to light forest trails.
Key Technical Features
- GORE-TEX® Waterproof Membrane: Provides a 100% waterproof barrier while remaining highly breathable, allowing sweat vapor to escape even during high-intensity play.
- EVA Midsole Cushioning: Engineered with a thick, lightweight Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) midsole that provides superior shock absorption and "all-day comfort."
- 1V Fastening System: Features a combination of elastic bungee laces and a single wide Velcro strap (1V), making it exceptionally easy for children to put on and take off independently.
- Slim/Narrow Fit: Unlike some of Viking’s wider models, the Aery Tau is designed with a slim fit, providing a more snug and secure feel for children with narrower feet.
- Additional Toe Reinforcement: A specialized protective cap at the front shields the toes and increases the shoe's durability against scuffing and impact.
- Machine Washable & Vegan: Designed for easy maintenance, these shoes are machine washable at 30°C and are constructed entirely from vegan-friendly materials.
Product Specifications
- Upper Material: Durable Textile / Synthetic overlays.
- Outsole: Natural Rubber Mix for high traction on wet and dry ground.
- Insole: Detachable and anatomical for easy drying and replacement.
- Sustainability: OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, ensuring materials are free from harmful chemicals.
Sizing & Insole Measurements
Viking recommends a growth margin of 10 mm to 15 mm for this model. Please note that due to the slim fit, parents of children with wide feet may need to consider a different model (like the Veme or Cascade).
