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).

Benefits for the User

• Lightweight Feel: Despite its robust protection, the shoe remains incredibly light, reducing leg fatigue during long walks.
• Versatile Style: Modern colorways (like Lilac, Navy, or Moss Green) ensure the shoe looks great in both urban and outdoor settings.
• High Visibility: Many versions include a drawstring loop or reflective details to improve safety in low-light conditions.
